<a href="http://www.diabloii.net/">DiabloII.net</a> has posted <A href="http://www.diabloii.net//pressdesk/bliz_chat-03-06-19.php">this chat log</a> which asks and answers various questions about the upcoming patch for <a href="http://www.blizzard.com">Diablo 2</a> that a lot of people seem eager to check out. Like these:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>Q: Will necromancers skeletons be improved?</b>
<br>
<br>
Blizzard: Oh my, yes. We are bumping up the life and damage your Skeletons get from Skeleton Mastery, as well as really beefing them up in their individuasl skills.
<br>
<br>
<b>Q: Have you made any changes to casting delays?</b>
<br>
<br>
Blizzard: We've added casting delays to Valkyrie and Shadow Master. They are beefed up to compensate for the delays.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
Better skeletons is always good. I wonder if Diablo can still wack them all with a nova, though.

Ha ha ha .

The real fun is the part that they say that

M.F. will no longer work on end bosses like Mephisto.

 

[Spazmo]

Ouch. That'll hurt the economy. In a good way, though. Bah, people will just start doing more Pindleskin runs.

Sorry but i forgot to mention that it will not work on superuniques also .

Only on normal monsters.

and Pindle not only gets the NOMF nerf, he also is 100% likely in that "too easy to get to" list of bosses that have reduced drops.

All in all, I likes the chat a lot. Hooray for Weregeddon

Astromarine means that Druids can now cast Armageddon in wolf and bear form with that " Weregeddon" word

Hah, I experienced Diablo doing just that for the first time about an hour before I read that.

Whooosh--->Snap. But I got him, the Bastard. :twisted:

I haven't read the chat-log yet ... I guess I should before asking questions. :wink:

A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: Huh?

[Saint_Proverbius]

It was quite a shock for me when he first did it to me. I was playing a necromancer in single player and I focused entirely on summoning. I couldn't get passed him simply because summoning was my only means of fighting him.

 

[Psilon]

I read the log, but didn't see this. What's this "MF" thing they nerfed? I know Death's Guard doesn't do jack against Duriel, and summoning sucks against Diablo (thankfully I had dumped points into Bone Spear), but I'm not really up on the tricks.

 

[DrattedTin]

MF is Magic Find. This means you can't put on the right gear now and walk up to Mephisto and watch him drop 3 uniques.

 

[Psilon]

Ahhhh. I always had enough trouble in Act III without repeatedly running through Mephisto. Damn Flayers.

 

[DrattedTin]

Running through Act 3 with a poison-nova necro is very therapeutic.
