Wow. That's a rough build. 155 HP at 15th level? That player could use some guidance on gear, feats, and enhancements.
Unless I miss my math, 8*15 = 120 + 20 + 15(con)= 155. There's no toughness, no false life item of any sort, no minos helm, either no con item, or a really crappy starting con. That's about as bare bones as it gets. Wouldn't take much to double that.
Anyways, EtK was nerfed at the end fight, which was all that really bothered anyone. The rest of the quest was a cake walk. Even before the nerf, however, it was still not that bad if you had people who knew what to do and had some decent gear/buffs going in.
Pugs could be rough, though, because you get people who were clueless and panic.
At least according to the devs, they didn't change the end fight on elite, only on lower difficulties.
I think the more, um, headscratching things about the cleric are items like the ring of sustenance, goggles of jumping, etc. Anyway, the player is probably young. He fell off the bridge right before the final shrine and died, so we recovered the soulstone and had to ddoor back to the start.
There were a few deaths, but it was a fun challenge nonetheless.
