It is unfortunate, as of v1.10s, that both CBs: crushing blow, and Charged Bolt on being struck, are "exploits" because of the item/effect add-up/apply bug. A low level character wearing a bunch of the (clvl 4 req, iirc) CB 10% on being struck is a mini-LEB, and does quite well for a few levels. With the bug, however, its just insanely good (my Escheu character is level 15 using this and a thorns shield, without *ever* having used normal attack or a skill (throwing potions allowed)--and it was a breeze and hilarious to play, though, natch, an exploit).

I suppose I should give her equipment to a Malus runner, just so I could post the exploit time for you all. It would be a record breaker, I'm sure.

I suspect the same is true, to a lesser extent, for a Druid with the 67 charges of level 10 Firestorm, provided you give him $60,000 to assure he'll be able to recharge it a few times on the way to level 8.

One could even combine the two. That would be a rather silly/amusing thing to watch a 60x speed video of. (edit: I'm considering throwing together a little program to sendkeys(printscrn) to D2 periodically--the glitch in play would be annoying, but it would make it "easy" to have D2 home movies, eh? fyi for anyone considering this: screen reads fullscreen are slower than -w, i.e. for printscrn, probably due to poor graphics driver code)
