I seriously disagree with the animate dead changes that blizzard made last patch. Invincable units are crap the enem just ignors them. Animate dead was the easiest ultimate and the best nd blizzard just screwed it up because you people didn't know how to use it. There's only 3 problems I had with animate dead is that it could be dispellable, you run out of mana from the other spells that you can't use it and they always seem to animate the spellcasters.

Other than that it's perfect I hope blizzard reconsider's the animate dead changes.

At last, I was about to stop playing the beta, that
tome bug ****ed up my ladder result... Goddamnit!
Hopefully Blizzard will be more careful next time :////

Yeah, bout time that stupid tome bug got fixed... I had lost to a lvl one DH with 300+ in every stat the night before, and he actually asked me how using the tome bug was considered cheating...


Thank you blizzard!

Strange, noone's complaining about their strats having been washed out in the tides of patching yet.

Anyways, I think it's nice that the armor type names have been changed, didn't really make much sense with flying units having "heavy" armor.
