It says 50% chance to block attacks AND SPELLS. As far as I know there's more or less 2 types of attacks, weapon damage and spells, so does that mean that I have 50% chance to block more or less all attacks? Can someone please clarify this for me?

You have 50% chance to block everything yes.


Thank you!

Yes. Enemies have more hp, so you get more xp, and more loot, tho you get a lot more loot if you play separate games. The more loot part of this is not a simple magic find multiplier, its a lot more complicated than that, lets just say effectively you will find more valuable loot overall.

I believe it is the same as normal where enemies are harder and have more drops.

I'm trying to decide between Hammerzon Amazon and Iron Spiral Barbarian to duo with a Sorceress. I had actually just made a hammerzon to duo with that Sorc about a week ago, not realizing the patch was incoming lol. So now that we are making new characters I'm not sure if I wanna do that again, or are there any other options that would make a good pair with a Sorceress?

does "-enemy res" help for a traps assassin or are traps completely "our of everything"?

To protect our playerbase from fraud, you need to validate your in-game account first.

Can someone tell a dummy like me how to do that? :P I messed up my char a bit, I need to try to buy a respec potion before I pull what little hair I have left on my head. Thanks.

Make sure that Diablo II.exe is set to run as an Administrator and in compatibility mode with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and the Median XL Launcher is set to run as an Administrator. Then restart the PC.
