(24.30.39.1) Diablo II Patch 1.08 RELEASED!

Here is a bit of info though:
Why did Blizzard Entertainment decide to make gameplay changes to Diablo II?

In order to maintain Blizzard Entertainment's high standards of quality, we continue fine-tuning gameplay, when appropriate, by providing patches. Patch 1.08 was designed specifically to enhance the classic gameplay found in Diablo II by creating improvements to the balance and item generation found in the game.

Barbarian
Whirlwind now alternates between two weapons when using two-weapon style.

Paladin
Increased Holy Shock's melee damage bonus.
Decreased the power of Conviction.
Added a casting delay for Fist of Heavens and increased its damage.
Increased the blocking bonus that Holy Shield gives.
Conviction does not affect immunities.
