Duriel possesses is a Holy Freeze Aurajuggernaut of crunching, Jabclose range pain. Possessed of massive size, Smitea fierce charging attack, and Charge. The chilling effect of a rapid fire jab, Duriel can beat his way through the toughest meat shields, while protecting himself with a movement and attack-slowing Holy Freeze Aura aura. His aura can not be resisted or negated with any type of equipment, including "Can not be frozen" gear. It can be avoided by standing some distance away from him; v1.10 greatly reduced the radius of Holy Freeze and most other target-effecting auras, and ranged attackers can now stand clear of the cold if they back up to the corners of Duriel's pit.
