is it true that running sets your defense to 0? always thought it was a rumor =

It's true, also your block chance is cutting down to 1/3.

Edit: Shame on Blizzard for that stupid mechanic.

that was even in vanilla? wow how did i never know this

"While it's commonly said that defense = zero when running, this is not true. You are much more likely to be hit while running, but the actual game mechanism is that the entire to/hit formula is ignored, and that any attack that can hit will will deal damage.

The difference is that by ignoring the to/hit calculation, factors besides defense, such as Clvl and Mlvl are ignored also. Thus low level monsters that would often miss a naked high level character who was standing still, will usually hit that same character, if they are running (even if they have on heavy armor)."

From the wiki. Also, 1/3rd block chance is correct, capped at 25%.

the realm only runewords still exist? i was checking the storm zon(XVc) and it says the best weapon is a runeword staff that turn you into sorc...this would be a shame coz i dont have a good enough internet for multiplayer

Regular mystic orbs can now be cubed up to 5 times

Does it mean that each orb can be used max 5 times on one item?

Exactly you can't make that one in SP.

Thank you! One more question about resistances:

Highest possible character resistances have been capped to 90%

Is this about Max resist or normal resist? I can no longer go for some huge resistance numbers like in previous version? Like stacking 450% psn res for some uber?
