Greetings, dfn!
Mmm, and some of us have tried this. As far as the Mysterious Shrine goes, I can definitely report to you that if your Dexterity stat is maxxed and the Shrine is set to add to your Dex while subtracting from your other values, you indeed get the worst of both worlds -- your Dexterity remains the same while your other attributes lose one point in value.
According to Jarulf's in the chapter on Shrines:
"There exist a bug that will cause any shrine with a random effect to at times not be random and instead have a specific result. This bug is most noticeable in the first games you play without exiting Diablo completely (decreasing in probability for each dungeon level you enter, including reentering of a level)"
This would suggest that in order to "further randomize" the Shrine Set an reduce the "bug" that increases the hit to Dexterity, you should complete many dungeon levels (or exit and re-enter that shrine level a number of times) before hitting the Shrine.
This assumes I've properly interpreted the Guide, though. Jarulf?
And Jarulf, does this also work in Single Player? Enter and leave the dungeon level with the shrine on it to "randomize" the shrine's effect?
