I have been playing Diablo2 since version 1.00 and noticed this bug very early, maybe in the 1.03 when I made my amazon to level 30 and started using "looks good" Fend. I think this is persistent throught all versions and I really lose all hopes to think once again my characters are good :( Because even if I get the best equipment available - thats obvious, I will not because I play single:) - I think it wouldn't be any better. If some minion zombie from act1 hits me all the time and I nearly cannot hit it at all and I am usually dead if there is more than one such zombie, there can be no Arkaine's Valor or Steeldriver martel-de-fer which can lift me from this misery :(
But its not as bad situation as with my very old level 70 fendazon. She got with big problems to hell ACT3 many versions of D2 ago (I think last it was LoD 1.07:) and now she just cannot manage monsters from cold plains ACT1! :o If someone saw her in action, he would think I cheated and placed her to so high part of the game, because she simply couldn't get here on her own :)
But its nice to look at her extra old items brought to life yet again in 1.10:) Rare lance from version 1.08 classic. Boots from 1.06. Some rare rings and armour from these times too :)
Yes she had quite hard times through that all patches, many skills changes. And even some of her items changed name through Blizzard's patching process:) Memories are nice, but it does not change the fact, she's unplayable now...
