1.10 Unique monster names - Baajikiil - 07-07-2003
I know that multiple instances of the same name have been seen before, I think that it bears mentioning that I've seen it several times in the beta so far.
In act 1 I ran into "Sharp Drool the Slasher", an easy to remember name. I saw the same name again in act2. Also, the previous game I was in had 2 uniques with the same name as well (EDIT: 2 name was "Dragon Killer"). Perhaps this is cropping up more often now?
Feature? Blood golem no longer steals from IM. Perhaps related design decision: Blood golem seems to not return any of the damage it takes to the necromancer. I used my blood golem to tank Andariel the 2 times I've fought her so far in normal. She killed it in ~2-3 blows, and I would recast. Pre 1.10 beta, it would have been blowing my hp down drastically. There appeared to be no change to my Hp.
BTW, normal act1 and act2 seem to be just as easy as before if not easier(at least for a solo necro on players 8). Though 2 leaders had to be parked due to regen.
EDIT: Dragon Killer appeared in another game as well. #3
