Yeah, cold enchanted + lightning enchanted is nasty too. Poison is a pain, etc. It's not too bad but I do have to watch what I'm doing more carefully. I used to be able to sleepwalk through normal/nightmare, but no longer. My hc werebear has almost bitten the dust twice from my inattention. 1.10 is a wakeup call for me, especially with my slow computer and 56k dialup. Lag is deadlier than ever with the new faster monsters.
I took my tri-elemental sorceress through the bloody foothills in hell (she's level 84) and it was okay but the poison from foul crows was sure a pain in the neck. She has over 800 life (and about 15% poison resistance - equipment is mediocre) and one poison touch from those guys completely drains the orb almost twice over. Talk about cheese.
Did a Mephisto run for testing purposes. Council members were downright difficult; Mephisto died in seconds. Definitely some balancing issues here. The act boss should be tougher than any of the minions in the act, IMO, not the other way around. Dark Lords and Blood Lords are rather annoying. All else is still cannon fodder.
