98 is quite impressive I could neeever get that high. Ugh, no way.

But they increased Hell so that it would be a challenge. I think it was too easy before (once they got rid of that stupid universal 50% physical resistance anyway). It's like, oh noes, they made it kinda hard so now we have to grush through it. Yeah, the balance of the game is off, but it's possible to play through hell with something other than the overpowered builds because I've done it and you've done and we've all done it.

Hell is supposed to be so hard that everybody has to come together. It's like, it doesn't matter that your lightning sorceress does 40k damage per shot, because against Lit immunes you need somebody else. Then that Bone Necromancer is suddenly looking pretty good.

But because people can go straight to Baal, it ruins the harmony of it all. There's no need to make anything other than a few builds because nobody has to actually play the game. So who needs more than a Hammerdin and Lit Sorc? Which is strange, 'coz they make those to MF, but then never even play the game when they get items for other characters anyway, so it was all one big circle of doing Baal runs for no fun in return. Unless endless Baal runs is their idea of fun, I guess.

I doubt I'd want to play with most of the public anyway, and people like Chimney always wait and actually play through them with me... I suppose I shouldn't really care so much *shrug*.
