Changes between 1.10s and 1.10

CE (corpse explosion) worked really well in v1.10s, I'd like to understand the differences before I build a Necro Ladder Character.

Certainly. In 1.10s, CE was widely known to be super uber powerful, because its explosion damage was calculated based on the hit points of the monster -- no matter how many players were in the game. In essense, its power scaled with the number of players in the game, and therefore it was practically as easy to play a CE necro in 8-player mode as it was in 1-player mode.

Now, CE's power has been (I believe) properly reduced and yet it is still a very powerful and useful skill. Its damage is now based on the base life of the monster (as if the game were set on 1-player) no matter how many people are in the game. This may feel like a major nerf to someone who played the beta, but in fact, CE still got majorly boosted in 1.10 from 1.09. Why? For two reasons. First, there's no longer a global 50% to physical resists in 1.10. Second, life scales much differently in 1.10. I understand that in 1.09, life was basically proportional to the number of players in the game (please feel free to correct me -- I didn't play much 1.09) whereas in 1.10, monster life increases by 50% of the base life for every extra player in the game. Therefore, in an 8-player game, a maxed CE can take off about 22% of the life all monsters on the screen which is a *lot* of damage. It just won't be the godly damage you were used to in the beta.

Cheers!
