KILL'EM ALL
- Thank you for rescue Anya, stranger! I have an old scroll somewhere... Ah, there it is. It will permanently add + 10 to all your resistances.
- But wats happens if I die? Resists from the scroll are displayed, but not working. I have to rejoin the game to activate bonus again.
- Dont worry, this bug was fixed long time ago.
- Oh, thats good. Because of resist penalty on Hell dificulty.
- There is a lot of penalties on Hell
- Realy?
- You're not in Kansas anymore, Doroty! I have an old scroll somewhere... Ah, there it is. Complete list of changes in Hell difficulty:
Increased monster levels, stats, hp, damage, defence, AR. Their AI improves as well, allowing them to react more quickly and attack more ferociously.
Some even gain new abilities, such as adding elemental damage to their attacks. Monsters that can cast skills gain 7 levels to their magical attacks.
Most Superuniques gain a second random modifier to add to their preset properties. Random boss monsters gain a third random Monster Modifiers.
Nearly all monsters have at least one Immunity and additional resistances.
Player and Hireling resistances are reduced by 100 in the expansion. PLR included.
Death results in a loss of 10% of the experience required to reach the next level. Retrieving your corpse restores 75% of the lost experience. The experience loss will never drop you down a level, your experience won't drop any lower than the minimum for a given level.
Hirelings and Summons deal 25% damage to Act bosses.
Duration of Freezing and Chilling effects are reduced by 3/4.
Duration of AI-affecting curses (Confuse, Attract, Dim Vision) is reduced by 3/4.
Life/Mana Stealing are cut to 2/3. Many hell monsters, especially Superuniques, have additional penalties to leech.
Static Field cannot reduce a monster's health below 50%.
Many area maps are increased in size. (Tower cellar, Durance of hate etc)
Act V has additional "Guest Monsters" from other acts to increase the difficulty.
Hell difficulty is the only difficulty level in which the two Battle.net only quests, the Pandemonium Event and the Uber Diablo Quest can be obtained.
