Couple of skill rants

[WarBlade]

Why do you say you "WANT conviction"?  Have resistances been beefed up?  Looking at monstats.txt the old pattern seems to be intact (i.e most monsters have one immunity and maybe some resistance to one other element).

Well try this on for size then . . .

Glacial Trail Hell "Players 1"

WRAITH
Undead Drains Mana
Immune to Physical, Immune to Poison

One hit zapped Mana down to around half and a second hit almost drained the Paladin flat. The only way your Fanaticism based Avenger will challange that is with Damage Taken goes to Mana or switch aura, with Sanctuary and Conviction being the two options that spring to mind.

Same level
SKELETON MAGE
Undead
Immune to Cold, Immune to Poison
And I didn't bother to check to see if these were leechable since they weren't in 1.09.

Put these two together with many more examples of Conviction's ability to knock out selected Immunities and Conviction starts looking extremely useful throughout the game whereas Fanaticism is very powerful and fickle at the same time.
