BUT I don't use Mana Shield.
MS Bug abuse is the use of low health and MS to circumvent experiencing hit recovery. That's not happening here, so you've done nothing that's considered cheating 'round these parts.

You could hit a brick wall if you start getting one-hit-killed by projectiles, but the great thing about "Diablo" is that you control enemy activation. So life could become exceedingly slow going with some monster mixes, but I know of no level of tedium in this game that some players have not overcome.
