Basic Math - The Failure of Diablo Melee

[Tal]

Not true - Zeal was unplayable crap prior to expansion, before it was capped to 5 hits (and didn't cause the entire series of attacks to miss as soon as any of them missed.)

And yet I defeated Hell Diablo...on Hardcore with a sword and board zealot. Tell me again how it was crap and unplayable?

IIRC the Javazon was prior to LoD too.
