Copy D2MUSIC.MPQ from the Play disc and paste in D2 folder, or reinstall D2 and choose Full Install. Also try this.

But melee attacks like Bloodthorn still proc, do they hit the target w/o AR needed?

Technically Bloodthorns is a spell so it casts anyway when you swing at target on melee. But it don't mean you hit target with your weapon and deal weapon damage.

Usually unholy melee paladins has just basic dmg (without %ED modifier) on their weapons, so no need to boost %AR, just spell damage and -enemy resists.

Just found out that music works only in act 5, so in expansion...
Maybe D2 music files are corrupted, or music is disabled in D2 but not in expansion..
Ok, and thx niqqa for that link..

Shadow blade deals decent magic dmg and stuns the target.
Yes, the novas will proc more.

QUESTION:
Where do people farm cotws?. I've seen waaayyyy too many and I think I'm just farming the wrong spots.

@up
Cotws can drop everywhere on dest but "best" place to "farm" them is dest Fautz, because it have jewelery drop bias.
