Quote:In Vanilla Hellfire I believe that if the warrior has resistances, he still can block incoming magic. ... Dunno if the official patch "fixed" this or not.
Not only did v1.01 not fix this, all characters suffer. Monk, who blocks with virtually every weapon setup that makes him efficient, is turned into a lean, mean *tinking* machine on Succubus levels.
Spellblocking was more-or-less the inspiration behind HFF. It's fixed there to be sure.
Quote:There's also Berserk, which is buggy but effective.
Agreed. Berserk is excellent for foiling enemy shooters. Thenryb and I had a fun Hell/Cats game recently where Berserk was used on every Flesh Clan Archer that reared its scraggly goatee. Each was rendered singularly impotent, mobs preferring to plink arrows at one another (never doing enough damage to kill). Needless to say, it made things very easy on us. :)
Quote:Ah, I think you can _possibly_ get a book Apocalypse when you kill Na-krul. I don't know if it can drop anywhere else.
He always drops a Book of Apocalypse. I've not seen it drop anywhere else, myself.
Quote:There are some new/used prefixes and suffixes you should be on the lookout for: Wyrm's, Hydra's, crystalline, of devastation; and then plenty of new Uniques, only some of which are good.
Unfortunately, Devastation is only qlvl 1 and there really aren't any interesting prefixes that can go with it.
