	We will have to coordinate some common time on a semi-regular bassis
and hold sunhelp games :)
	I'm a level 27 paladin, I hope thats not too far off from you guys
given that you are working on defeating Hephasto on nightmare... I'm going to
go join a game called sunhelp/sunhelp for a few minutes to unwind :)

	I'm not sure if I want to go through the game on Nightmare difficulty
again. After Duriel, all of the plot related bosses (Mephisto,Izual,Hephasto
and Diablo) was a matter of standing there and whacking them for a few minutes,
running back to town to recharge on potions and stuff occasionally. Once you 
clear out the minions, it becomes very tedious and boring.
	I'm not sure I can ever kill Duriel w/o dying... she has such a 
tactical advantage over anyone entering her room given bnet's laggy attitude.

	Who gives a rats ass about sets? From what I gather on the FAQs, most
of the sets are useless for any character that has any veteran level.
	On the other hand, most of my equipment is one shade of yellow or 
another, and I'd like to get the final few pieces yellow too :)

	I damn well hope its improved... 

	Did anyone notice Act IV was too damn short? The only fun was the 
maze before the cathedral... that required some tactics :)
	Diablo I had a better ending when you had to fight him and a fleet of
mages :)
