Diablo II 1.10 Beta Test begins

[Occhidiangela]

Regen and Drain are two different variables, from what I gather.

Drain = 100 means, I presume, that the monster leeches 100% of the damage it does to you back to its own life pool, correct?

Regen is the rate at which points grow back, just as a +life regen circlet or ring does for the player. I understand that regen for monsters is beefed up.

So, is the complaint out there about "regeneration" being so high tied to high drain as well as regen, or is regen really all that high? Or are they both at work? (More likely)

Strikes me that a double whammy is in operation here for those of us on Dial up whose ping stays in the 200-300+ range. A touch harder to dodge with a slightly slower connection. :P
