What to clear with Blizzard

Include champion and unique packs, plus bosses on the selected route. Their drop pools differ; use the item finder for a particular item rather than assuming every enemy can drop it.

Follow the named targets in route order and clear nearby packs your attacks can hurt. Optional targets can be skipped.

Arreat Plateau · Hell

Death Slasher, Blood Bringer, Hell Whip, Night Clan: Skip unless you can break the immunity or use another damage type.

Blood Lord, Demon Imp, Balrog, Hell Temptress, Salamander, Mauler, Unraveler, Burning Dead Mage, Maw Fiend: Use cold damage.

These suggestions use ordinary monster immunities for the selected difficulty and your build’s listed damage types. A damage type may require another skill, a corpse or a particular target type. They do not guarantee a fast or safe kill. Named enemies and unique modifiers can differ; check immunities in-game. Immunity-breaking gear and mercenary damage are not assumed.
