Care to share the story of how that went down, Nemyar?

Noticed that. Your deeds will be remembered, friend. Nobody doubts your bravery.

He's one of those old E'ci folks I tricked in to getting addicted. He posted this.

"My hardcore Paladin finally died at level 95. I guess I quit now!

It was one of those stupid mobs that "blows up" when it dies. She took me down with her. Oh well. "

He took it like a champ.

I wonder if it was a fire enchanted + cold enchanted + martyr. I think that would make 3 explosions. Could be bad. Never tried to see how ugly that would be.

Do enchanted mobs blow up? Holy shit, never knew that.

Are certain mobs halving healing? That is my question. Because sometimes I'll be farming fine (like 100-500 mobs into a run) and then all of a sudden I cannot heal for shit. What is up with that?

And while I have you, what did you change about life leech? It seems pretty severe whatever it was.

From the wiki:

Crippling Aura - All of your heals are half as effective - Uses shadow kick and casts Weaken

Yes, leech is less effective in hell and nightmare. Particularly in nightmare. Might have nerfed it too much. Not sure yet.

I say unnerf life leech and beef the difficulty by a factor of 5 in a post-hell difficulty. I would love to see what farming 5 innys or 5 nagafens would be like. Make every single mob have every single elite attribute.

If you look at how much health you were leeching in old days you were totally unkillable without basically fear chaining. You were leeching insane amounts of health. Like a full life bar every 3 seconds.

Yeah, I haven't played my ranger at all since I started heavy on my monk. I'm not entirely sure how it would be on the ranger now.

Played my ranger tonight... ugh... If you meant to nerf a max geared ranger to not be able to chain farm then you were successful. Lifeleech is a useless stat to stack. I think I was healing like 18 to 22 health whereas before it as like 60 to 200 health.

It doesnt matter to me though, I'm done with the ranger anyhow. Other classes out perform farm duties anyways just based on class dynamics.

Yeah, 60-200 is just way too much. I might tweak it a bit, but that's more around where it should be.
