I think Iron Maiden⢠and Massive Maggots⢠were cheese already in Classic D2 :)
The MOD is still anything but easy to play with an untwinked character in Single-Player. Note that the MOD is intended primarily for Single-Player and not for Battle.net/Multi-Player, where you got some Amazons or Necros handy that simply blow the Maggots and Oblivion Knights away ;) In patch 1.10, many things were just way too overpowered, and they have now simply been readjusted to a reasonable pre-1.10 level.
Also note that many of the "innovations" in LOD (Immunities, extreme Life/Mana leech penalty etc.) were once designed to force party-play and the search for the new LOD "uber"-items. In other words: They have been designed to sell more LOD packages ;)
