Not at all unusual for many builds to have more trouble with Lister
than Baal.  For one thing, Lister has a heck of a heal rate.

Congratulations... and cya in Hell ;^)

I have a Charge-adin and I had more trouble with The Ancients than
with any either Baal or his minions. I had to chug six full
rejuvenation potions (I probably jumped the gun on one or two of them
but hey, that's what they're for) before taking them down. They also
killed my Rogue -- although she took one of them with her and it was
easier to finish off the remaining two. Lister and his horde took also
killed my Rogue but I didn't have to take any potions.

Baal was somewhat of a challenge. He did kill my Rogue and forced me
to take about six healing potions and a mana potion. His hoarfrost was
a pain to deal with and his inferno type attack appears to also drain
a lot of mana. But in the end, he was nowhere near as tough as the
Ancients.

My fight with Diablo went much the same way. My Charge-adin died twice
courtesy of his Doom and Oblivion Knights -- they'd Iron Maiden me in
mid-charge and I'd kill myself. Both times I managed to take out the
hoard by distracting them with Blessed Hammer and letting my Rogue
kill them. She really shined in that fight. Once Diablo came out of
his lair, it was mostly a matter of running around and whittling away
at him with Charge -- my Rogue did not shine in this fight.

I think a lot of it has to do with my character. My Charge-adin has to
run around in order to attack so the bad guys have time to attack him.
This usually doesn't matter since most monsters get taken out in one
or two hits. But the big bosses and their minions are tougher than
that so they can do more damage.
