After beating Baal noting really changes if you make another Normal game. All quests will still be completed, all waypoints you have activated are still available, all bosses are alive again. The game only resets if you chose to make a Nightmare game.

In normal, you can kill Ancients at 20, but you don't get EXP from Baal until 25. In NM, you can kill Ancients at 40, and get EXP from Baal at 41(lawl!) In Hell, you can kill Ancients at 60, and get EXP from Ancients at 61(lawl!).

It can happen. Where Tyrael lands is dependant on where Baal dies, so yes, Baal can die in a spot that brings Tyrael down such that the portal is opened over the void. But yep, as already said, just saving and exiting will end the game for you.

2007年2月17日 · Even though most of the Diablo 2 community by now is running Baal Bots to keep their character leveling while they are away, I find this to be cheating and I do not advocate such use of a bot while playing Diablo 2, since bots are what caused me all that much trouble when Blizzard implemented their "Realm Down" to limit game play time so that ...

Baal gives more experience, and the drops are of better quality. However, he's much more difficult than Diablo for a caster-Blood Mana will destroy you. Conversely, Diablo is slightly easier with ranged/magic attacks than melee, but the gap is almost negligible. Go with Baal if you're a melee fighter, Diablo if you're a caster.

Baal has a lot more life, but that's about it, he doesn't do much damage (he drains your mana, knocks you away with a cold wave). Diablo has the lightning attack which can easily kill most players if they aren't careful. BUT if you really want to have a justification to why Baal is "stronger" is because Baal had his soulstone for longer.

Baal runs and Chaos Sanctuary are your best bet for a while, but it gets to a point where you won't get much if any EXP from anything other than I think Baal and Diablo themselves. I forget the exact details of it, but that's like lvl 98-99 IIRC. Nihalathak also gives XP til then. Don't know if it's worth the time purely for leveling though.

Though I usually run around 41-49 baal runs by myself to get more exp on full rooms. If you want to run in a party it takes a around 40% more runs to get the same exp due to the sharing. Normal is the only area it is benefitial to do this in as the amount of exp vs time gets shifted in NM/Hell so you are better off doing it in a party.
