1.10 Beta Bugs

[Thecla]

try taking off your armour and shield, then try again. a lot of more attacks work like weapons now.

Well, as a bowazon I had no shield and minimal defense, so it's not a matter of doll corpse explosions missing because of blocking or to hit (unless their to hit on hell diff is ridiculously low). But it could be some other kind of targeting problem; or it could be that the explosions just don't do any damage --- so far I haven't got a hell champion doll's explosion to scratch me. (I also read a report that Nihilthak's ce does no damage in 1.10. Is that true? I haven't tried it out myself.)

as for your merc, they've got pretty high hp regen, and it's also some weird bug where not all types of attacks hurt them.

for example, my rogue never gets hit by the lightning spires lightning, but are hurt by their nova. i'm pretty sure your merc is hurt by the firewalls, but their hp regen is higher than the damage they take. vampire's firewalls are pretty weak.

This could be I suppose. I was taking substantial damage in the firewalls -- for sure at a much higher rate than my merc's regeneration rate -- but then I have negative fire resists unlike my rogue. I'd have to check this out further to be sure.
