<blockquote>any change in the range of damage types to include holy, shadow, voodoo or anything else to match the classes? —Scyberdragon<br>
Damage types will likely change some but are currently [[Physical]], [[Fire]], [[Lightning]], [[Cold]], [[Poison]], [[Disease]], [[Arcane]], and [[Holy]]. —Diablo
<br><br>
Whats the difference between poison and disease damage?—WickedBubba<br>
Disease has a damage debuff (both intake and output), and poison has a health debuff (regen/heal). Subject to change of course.—Diablo

Is there much difference between poison and disease? They’re both internal maladies that hurt over a period of time.—Grug<br>
Fairly significant in their difference, but both countered with a single resistance. Damage/resists aren’t design complete though.—Diablo</blockquote>
