hyopcritic? since we all cant best these guys i dont think im such a hyopcritic, since this is all about critism and fiction. BUT i prefer not to go off topic.
AND if Leoric is devoted was all of the Zakarum too? seriously think about it, who could yu control better, A leader or it's followers? and in this case the followers are easier, since Khalim the Head of The Council was NEVER corrupted by Mephisto, since Leoric is as noble and devoted as he is maybe yu should compare the 2 rather than lowly followers. Khalim even stood up against Mephisto, even while knowing the consequences, which is getting torn to shreds. While Leoric on the other hands showed signs of slight corruption and driving him mad. Diablo still got to corrupt the Archbishop Lazarus a very powerful and influential follower of the Zakarum.
Yes i know all about Khalim, but what about the other council members ey? I'm talking about them High Priests that are mutated, they were corrupted right? Safe guess that a High Priest can be equally religious as King Leoric
If you ask me, Diablo had it fairly easy compared to Mephisto, let's look at the situation:
Diablo: King Leoric and Civilians
Mephisto: Zakarum Priests (Both High and Neophytes)
Alright, King Leoric is a dedicated follower of the Zakarum, that is equally one Zakarum Priest, see the comparism here? Diablo corrupted one Zakarum follower and his followers while Mephisto corrupted a whole TEMPLE of Zakarum followers
I just dont think the belial's deception is enough to make him the most evil out of the demons. Since i mean cmon other demons lie, mortals lie and EVEN angels lie.
Remember a warrior's greatest weapon is his enemy's greatest weakness or fear, and in that statement shows that Diablo is the most evil since his way of destroying others is by exploiting their deepest fears. a terrifying death is a fear exploited and is used in a devil's twisted mind's uses. to top that his been brought back to life once, in his plans to control the protoganist at the first diablo game. He is also the youngest and it was said once that he is the most powerful of the three.
Baal is weak, he is more of a jester for me, he must show great power in his path of destruction, but that is a barbaric trait, not an evil one. Well at least to me, but Demonic raw power doesnt show a lot of evil more of a senseless way of using it. He is in the Middle wether he's more or less powerful than Mephisto is currently unknown, but he is weaker than Diablo.
Mephisto might be the oldest of the three, but he is not the most evil for me neither most powerful, He's main strong point is his Hatred, which is well what sparks wars,Civil riots, protests and even crusades since hatred is the main cause of a leader's blind deception to do a senseless thing. Even though he corrupted an entire monastery of priests alike, that doesnt show his evil to me, but it was evil. Still though People hate other people everyday, maybe not enough to want to rip them to shreds. But believe it or not, hatred is in yu and me. He is the oldest and is always presumed to be the strongest, but no he is not BUT some ppl presume the he is the most intensly evil out of the three, i disagree
Your kind of hypocritic you know
Hatred is in everybody yes, so is Fear, both driving factors for Destruction.
Mephisto didn't corrupt a Monastery, that's what Diablo did. Mephisto corrupted a whole Temple and all its inhabitants that serve the religion of the Zakarum (Light) AND also the whole surrounding area of the temple AKA Kurast. The only thing he didn't corrupt was the Kurast docks, while Diablo only corrupted the Monastery and King Leoric partially. And also don't forget that Mephisto freed himself from his soulstone and shattered it
As for your 'powerful' comment, this is what Blizzard stated for the Ubers:
Diablo is the TANK
Baal is the DOTTER (Damage Over Time)
Mephisto is the ARTILLERY
You know what Artillery is in military terms right? Cannons, Tanks, Sharpshooter Weapons. That is alot of power if you ask me
I'm not sure how, but how the heck can Baal be comapred to Mephisto, Diablo included for that matter. Sure he was the last one to fall, but he couldn't even break free of his soulstone without help
Mephisto, by far, elder, looks more terrfying, now he is by far not the strongest, for that i voted baal, diablo, i meat and cheesed his ass so he, by far is not touching my vote, and perhaps you guys didnt notice that, MEPHISTO IS A FLYING CORPSE!!!!!!!, WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!
This is truth, as for your 'who's the strongest comment' have you ever faced UBER Mephisto???????
Perhaps you forgot the title of this thread, who is the most evil, that has nothing to do with who would win in the fight. Diablo is clearly stronger in the game. Thats not bias thats fact. I'd hate to bring this up but Diablo is who the games are named after.
BTW I just had a creepy thought. What if those maggots that popped out of Duriel were infant Duriels?
Ignoring the bias comment, which I have clearly shown
What is the criteria for the most Evil Prime? Since there is no set criteria, so I decided to add another one in this forum
AS for the Duriel thing: I want 10 seconds of my Life back
But you see I will win this convo cause I'm not biased towards one evil, as your avatar clearly shows. Maybe Diablo cant corrupt people as well as Mephisto, but there is no doubt in my mind that Diablo could kick his skinny skeleton ass. He mobilized the takeover of sanctuary with only a fragment of soulstone to his name. Baal on the other hand is only good at making war. Diablo is equal parts Baal and Mephisto, so he is either equal or better (the sum is greater than the parts).
Mephisto is good at corrupting people with hate.
Baal is good at destroying things.
Diablo is decent at both, which makes him terrifying.
See the contradiction there? Your bias comment is mute
Mephisto devised the takeover of the Sanctuary operation, Mephisto commanded the other two Primes to fufill their roles (Baal pending), Mephisto served as the first defense of the operation.
From the statement above, its easy to tell that Mephisto is the tactician and more defining, cunning. As for your Mephisto + Baal = Diablo, how can you make that remark. Let me define Destruction, Hated, and Terror for you:
When you are scared, what do you do as a human reaction: you turn submissive toward the fear. When you are angry, what do you do as a human reaction: You direct the hate toward yourself and/or others
Now, what would you as a commander of armies have: Submissive warriors, or anger purposeful soldiers? I would say that most commanders would choose the anger side rather than the fear side
Anyways, what does this have to do with Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal? The passages above state that Hatred is stronger that Terror in certain scenarios, Of course Terror beats Hatred is other scenarios too. I have just contradicted myself, but I have also opened up another point: Hatred and Terror cannot be compared, Destruction is pending, BUT I believe that Hatred surpasses Terror in the Diablo Universe plot
and Mephisto couldn't corrupt khalim so... some people cant be corrupted, that doesn't mean that the majority of people aren't easy to corrupt. Corruption is easy to perform on those who have nothing. Show them what they desire and offer them a choice. Is that so hard?:rolleyes:
Yes I'm pretty sure we can ALL turn a christian church to worship Satan, as you have rightfully stated. Diablo couldnt fully corrupt 1 deeply religous person, where Mephisto on the other hand, corrupted the inhabitants including the high priests, priests, and other deeply religous folk AKA Zakarum except for one, Khalim
Quote from "Magistrate" »
Baal also decimated the entire northern reaches of Sanctuary, besieged Harrogath, and destroyed the other fortresses. He also managed to convert Nihlithak so that he would bring him the Relic of the Ancients.
Oh, yes, and don't forget both Baal and Diablo fought Tyrael and left him locked up in Tal Rasha's Chamber. (Baal literally ripped the Azure Wrath from Tyrael's hands, lol.)
Yes i know all about Khalim, but what about the other council members ey? I'm talking about them High Priests that are mutated, they were corrupted right? Safe guess that a High Priest can be equally religious as King Leoric

Enigma1's post supports my opinion

No actually, the comment inserted 'disturbing' images in my head -shudders-

Thank you for adding on, to where I have failed
