Significant nerfs are applied to the lightning skills. Some Passiva will benefit from Status Points.
Slightly enhanced are Magical and Immolation Arrows, which are hardly appealing in unmodified Diablo II. Damage synergy for Impale via Status Points in strength is a kind of role-play addition, similar to enhanced chance of durability loss hereby. Damage synergy of defense rating to Fend is a rather crude hint to force changing your mind about whiffles (we'll see if that's too unbalanced in combination with defense enhancing skills). The energy bonus to Penetrate should improve Chance to Hit of Magezones focussing entirely on elemental damage. Unfortunately we can't do anything about the bug concerning ineffectual percentage Attack Rating on bowskills. At least we could eliminate the bug concerning a friendly Blessed Aim aura negating Penetrate.
