The game also greatly expanded the Diablo world. It expanded the available characters to five (Barbarian, Amazon, Necromancer, Sorceress, and Paladin) and introduced many new features, including: a skill tree which gave players the ability to tailor their character(s) toward certain power schemes the ability to add jewels and runes to weapons and armor to increase their abilities the ability to craft items new levels of weapon and armor rarity and quality and many others. Increased the Experience attached to most Act V monsters in Normal, Nightmare, & Hell difficulties.Diablo II is the first sequel to the massively popular Diablo.Added randomized (especially ranged-attack) monsters to Nightmare and Hell Act V - e.g., Burning Dead, Imps, etc.Reduced the effectiveness of Experience runs, power-leveling, and leeching.In Nightmare and Hell difficulties monster damages have generally been increased - dramatically in some cases. This was accomplished by improving monster stats (hp, ac, etc.) and by boosting their AI/behavior in NM and Hell difficulties (that is, by making decisions more often and by simply moving faster). Beefed up monster difficulty in Act V, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties.Increased difficulty for high-level players to reduce future exploitation of the game system.The collision detection system has been sped up significantly.The player stats and inventory system has been completely redone to run more efficiently, improving server performance and stability.A skill now may have synergy Bonuses (similar to masteries) applied by putting points into other skills.A major result is that nearly any skill can be used by any character class. Although done for our needs, mod-makers should like these changes, too. Monster control/populating/creation is simpler.

The skill and monster systems are now completely data-driven.Be prepared to execute a hasty Save and Exit, if your situation seems too dangerous. Players of Hardcore characters should be even more wary when encountering superunique monsters during an active world event. Mysterious World-event: Players of Hell difficulty Realm games are hereby warned that a new, challenging world-event has been added to Diablo II version 1.10.
