thanks mate! im really enjoying the support! do we need a new char for changes of 1.24 to be active?

[DeathKnight1728]

No patch requires a new char. Beta is only beta because the changes arent finalized. At least thats what i think.

Is this patch compatible with the expansion, because it seems to have removed all trace of DW from my game, not an issue, reinstalling is easy, but figured I should ask.

Ignore me, I removed all the mods and removed the expansionPresent.txt file as well, hadn't realised it was quite so important.

Old characters should work fine.

I tested it with the expansion. What are you missing?

"demon mastery now gets 4% health boost":
Very shy balance.

And I don't use this skill (just Level 1), as my Summon Chaos Lord is already taking all my skill points, and my character toon keeps being crap.

Give it at least +25% Armor, Min&Max Damage (I'll say +40%, instead of your +15%). We could try testing with this,
and make it far more expensive in Mana needed (at least 85% (95%?) of our max mana, not just flat 40 mana), as roleplay wise I dislike summoning at will: it should be far more difficult, taking almost all our mana to summon such a monster: I don't like the Diablo summon style (summonning again just to replenish the Lord hit points: so your +4% health seems useless...)

Or make the Lord less expensive in skill points.

Yeah, that file is kind of important. The game will pretty much ignore the expansion and not harass you about an expansion key if that file isn't there.

In my balance mod, the Chaos Lord is always 4 levels below you, so you don't need to constantly invest in him (actually you do somewhat if you want him to be very useful by the game's end). Try it and let me know if it works for you. It's really hard to balance chaos lord as a spell since it's only one monster -- the other pet spells just give you more of them with level.
