With the exception of the statement about MS and knockback needing a nerf we all seem to be in violent agreement. Hell for chars without top end gear ( not just good, the best ) in 1.10 is going to be just about impossible.
For those of us who play legit and don't twink getting the uber gear is the D2 equivalent of winning the lottery - something that happens to other people.
That blizzard seems to have designed the 1.10 changes ( esp. hell ) on the assumption that players in hell will have elite gear ( see the play test article over at D2Net ) is very disappointing. Yes I agree hell should be very hard - but you should also be able to complete it with all classes in single player at players 1, that certainly does not seem to be the case in 1.10.
As for objections to MS plus Knockback - it's a skill+mod that helps make Zons more survivable ( note I said more survivable, not invulnerable ) against mobs - why does that need a change? It's not like MS is going to be mowing down critters in 1.10 ( trust me, it doesn't ) it's just going to drive some of them back a little and allow a BowZon an escape possibility in tight quarters.
Give the Zons another viable escape skill ( hmmmm like teleport or howl or dragon flight ?) and maybe we can discuss a nerf to MS plus knockback.

Some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything but you just can't help but smile when you see them tumble down the stairs.
