You do, of course, realize that the sort of damage that Holy Bolt displays require immense investments into Blessed Hammer and Fist of Heavens? Even then, it only works against undead, and even then it is not at all much compared to the damage of some other d2 skills. Magic resistance will probably also be more common in v1.10.
As for Holy Shock, well again, it requires heavy investments in some pretty obscure skills (who the hell ever gets resist auras? I don't even think many raise Salvation beyond the base point, leaving skill adders to do the rest) to get that kind of damage. Monsters will also likely have far more hitpoints in v1.10 which will further outbalance the 1-5000 dmg range.

In my mind, my dreams are real. No one's concerned about the way I feel.
