Heh. What I really mean is....I tossed D2 'balance' out the window years ago. Not gonna happen. I use 'fun' as a measure. Blowing up things is fun. CE Necros are fun. Also, go play in the patch a bit more, and notice that CE isn't as effective in NM and Hell as it is in Normal. In normal it's almost like the old days.
I personally think this patch is going to be a lot of fun, as it makes for more interesting builds. If I have to play SP players 5 all the way through Normal/NM, and go to players 1 for Hell, that's not a problem. As long as I have a challenge to play with, I don't mind. And if I build a char that hits the wall in NM or Hell, so be it. I can rebuild it better the next time. As long as the game is still fun, I'll play it.
