I've just been for a blast through Glacial Trail on Nightmare and Hell. In Hell level I was mildly intrigued at the unexpected colour surrounding a regular monster's life bar and a closer look revealed Poison Immune, Physical Immune (a specter). So dual Immunities are possible on non-unques now? Yikes.
In Nightmare the Skeleton Magi welcoming committee exhibited Poison Immune, but that's when I noticed something really interesting. Lower Resist got rid of it! :D I'm going to have to have a play with Conviction now. :D
EDIT (Update) : This seems to be either a feature or a bug of Lower Resist - Conviction does nothing to Immunities
So a strike for the Sorceress (maybe) and a hidden advantage for the Necro . . . ;)
Other junk
1.) New pallette shifts look interesting, although still haven't transferred over to the character selection screen. A Paladin in Goldskin became a dull orange colour, a bright pink bone shield in the shield slot became the same bright pink on the map, a Druid wearing Sigon's Gothic Plate lost the little gold bits to his look and got silver instead etc etc. Plus the Barb merc has a new icon.
2.) "Players 8" might be no more. It works and the new confirmation message is nice ( "Players set to 8" ) but with monster life ramped up I had a Defiant standing there in hell effectively trying to level a mountain with a tea spoon. "Players 1" is more like what "Players 8" was. :blink:
3.) Golems die. The Fire Golem looked great in theory, with all the fire extra damage, but watching him rush forward to commit seppuku on the knives of his enemies was a little disheartening. I noticed the same with Dire Wolves and mercs too. Lifespan of an ant sunning itself on the head of a nail placed between forefinger and thumb.
4.) Remember Foul Crows? Their AI makes them do these annoying hit and run attacks now. They used to hang around long enough to get two or three hits in and now I just switch to Zeal and hope I might score a hit as they come barreling in. :unsure:
