So, I've picked this out of the provided changest text:
This is a good thing. Player skills are strong. Enemies that use player skills at high levels can be too strong.
It is a possibility that either I suck and my character's weak, or another monster using a player skill might be a bit high level.
Just a little while ago, I was making some progress through Act V, with my level 72 Zealot Paladin. Now, he's only got 900 hp, but that's been enough for most things so far.
But then I hit the Defiled Warriors. The first encounter was maybe four of them. As they're slow, and, so far as my memory tells me, not much to deal with, I started whacking on one of them. They shuffled forward, one landed a hit; I leeched that back fine. Then another one charged, and I died. That's it. Full life, charge, dead. 900 hp.
This trend continued. I lost a full quarter of a level trying to clear through Pindleskin into the Halls of Anguish.
Now, these previously pathetic monsters, even in my occasional Hell Difficulty experiences, are maybe the second most powerful monsters in all of the areas of Act V that I've been able to access so far. (About the first half to two-thirds).
So, what's the problem here? Am I just ridiculously weak, or do these things just have a ridiculously over-leveled charge skills?
Quote: 3) the Missile skill levels of the Abyss/Oblivion Knight monsters have been reduced to level 1 (= patch 1.09 value)
4) the Inferno skill levels of the Megademon class monsters have been reduced by about 40-50%
