"Reviveless CE necro"
 
   I have made a CE necro that uses blood golem as the only minion. With a current skill lvl of 17, i use in conjunction with amplify or decrep (depending on situations) to great effect to melee areas (mostly outter steppes and urders/grotesque rivers) I have heard much about the CE nerfing blizzard has done with the patch and would like to know how different the skill was back then. Did it have enhanced dmg, higher increase in radius? Any tips to lvl from 60~80 would also be appreciated.

   CE used to scale up as monster HP scaled up in multiplayer games. Thus, if a monster has 100 HP CE will deal 60 to 100 damage. Before the nerf, if another person joined, the same monster, now 200 HP, could be used to deal 120 to 200 damage. Now, it would stay at 60 to 100 damage no matter how many people are in the game.

   Also the radius was about double what it is now.

   That's not completely true. In the initial nerf Blizzard pulled the damage down so it didn't scale and halved the radius gain from skill points. But then in a later patch (1.03 or 1.04 maybe, can't remember which) the radius was pulled back up to it's original value.
