Bashiok on Glowing Skeletal Shields

[Jed K]

Some nice tidbits:

Bashiok Wrote:The glow on the shields of Skeletal Shieldmen actually serves a couple purposes. First it's an easy and quick way to identify them from other skeletons, that's a given, but the second function is that it's actually a status indicator. Obviously as you hit them they'll block the hits with their shield, but they can only block so much damage. As they block damage the glow dims. It's a useful tool that visually indicates how close their shields are to breaking.

Yea, I've seen a video about gameplay and they showed these skeletons, you can use different skills to push them off a cliff or things like that or jump over them and kill the archers first ^_^ its quite fun and the glowing fx is great ^_^
I want more fx !
hope its full of interesting new things !

I think its a good idea, will definatly help in identifying who you want to fight first to make things easyer...
