So I'm looking at the monstats from the mpq, and..

[Winter]

One overwhelmingly crappy discovery of mine, though, was that almost every monster in the game has some degree of blocking now. Slow swingers are pretty screwed in Hell.

Yeah, i noticed that through my own playtesting and it really irritates me. Sure, i don't mind if monsters get to block... some of the monsters. When you have guys like Claw Vipers blocking (Disclaimer: my memory is a touch fuzzy, but i don't belive Claw Vipers actually block) you know something isn't quite right.

At least i won't be too affected since i'm a speed freak.
