Weapons' Reach and Elites in NM
#1
Two odd things I observed today. In Tristram, NM Difficulty, two people in a game, bnet West.

1. My merc, Jemali, was jabbing Griswold. Griswold kept swinging and missing. I watched him swing and miss 11 times. Eventually, Jemali killed him. I was watching my ravens fight the carvers as well, such fun.

Has this effect of weapons' reach always been present? The ability to hold some monsters off with a long reach? I recall Pikes being weapons length 5, the longest possible.

2. Griswold dropped an ELITE blue voulge, a Colossus Voulge of the Locust. I had not seen elites drop in Act I NM before. Is this a function of Griswold's TC, or was this a fluke? The only other activity in the game was Dr Disaster killing Baal in Act V, which should not have influenced the TC of Griswold in Act I.

Thoughts on either point? On the weapons' reach issue, I may just never have noticed, on the drop, the TC seems too high.
