Felt like playing this the other day, for no particular reason. Not a whole lot to report about this run, except that I just realized that having a shield makes the whole thing trivial! The shield was blocking something like 95% of all hits, and I hardly took any damage for the whole game. If I recall correctly from the original Diablo, there's supposed to be a percentage chance of the shield blocking damage, and after each successful block, there's a delay before it can block again. In this game, the chance of blocking is way too high, and there doesn't seem to be any delay; in fact, in some cases, I was surrounded and blocking multiple hits simultaneously!
