Skill Rebalancing In Diablo II

Blizzard’s official Battle.Net website has been updated with some new information and screenshots about skill rebalancing they will be doing in the upcoming v1.10 patch for Diablo II. Check it out:

Many of the skills for each character class have been thoroughly revised. For example, the Paladin’s Zeal gets an increasing damage bonus after level 5 and a synergy from Sacrifice. Holy Shock now has improved damage and an elemental damage synergy from both Resist Lightning and Salvation. The new Holy Bolt now heals more life, costs even less mana, and deals more damage to Undead, bypassing their resistances. In addition, synergies from Prayer, Blessed Hammer, and Fist of Heavens add even more to Holy Bolt’s effectiveness.

These screenshots are from the latest release candidate for the 1.10 patch of Diablo II that is currently being run through our QA testing procedure. Although we do not have a release date set for this patch, we are working hard to get it out as soon as possible.
