Quote:Why does the Player Hostile setting matter? I know there's stun capability without having it on, at least for Rogues, because I keep stunning arties that walk into my line of fire when we're coop-ing.
Your hostile setting does not affect your ability to stun other players. It affects your ability to be stunned by other players. If you are in player friendly mode, you cannot be stunned by other players, so dueling while in friendly mode can be called cheating IMO.
Also, note that the attacker sees a stun animation on his screen, but the friendly-mode victim experiences no stun effect on his side. Another example of Diablo´s poor MP architecture. I know why I never bothered with PvP :P
