|
Act I

- Combat (Hell): Holy Shock
- Defense (Hell): Cleansing

Act III

- Skills: Fists of Thunder*/Dragon Flight
- Equipment: Armor, Helms, and 2h Staff

- Can tell you unique stats about your character; such as the amount of times you've killed a boss, or the amount of time you've spent playing, or the amount of Tal runes you've found.
Add a Monk, Demon Hunter, and Witch Doctor NPC to Act 3
