Diablo II 1.10 Beta Test begins

[WarBlade]

Edit:  btw... Pit Vipers groups and their Bone Spears are now the official Scariest Sonsabitches in the game, bar none.  Yeeeeeesh.

I dunno. It seems there are such a wild array of weird combos odd ones out, that it's very dificult to pick "the scariest". I'd say it still varies by character and character defenses.

For some comparative examples . . .
1.) In the Spider Cavern I ran up against some maggots, got poisoned, shrugged it off, no problemo. I ran up against some poisonous spiders, got poisoned, figured I'd shrug it off, didn't, ran like snot instead.

2.) Paladin in Act 5 Hell got hit by Bone Spears and barely flinched, then got hit by charging Undead whacking his life to near-half in single hits, another Paladin in Hell Worldstone Keep with 30 MDR and 75% Lightning Resist lost 400-500 life in about three or four Lightning hits from what I imagine would be Gloams.

I'd say this patch has even more erratic behaviour than LoD 1.09 did, relative to numerous variables. One moment you're fine, the next you're legging it back to town in blind panic. :unsure:
