Well, some patches make other chars stronger, while decreasing other char strenth, such as the amazon like you pointed out before. In 1.09, Amazons would shoot 1 Guided Arrow and (If they had Pierce Skill, or pierce item) the arrow with hit 1 person multiple times, doing 3-4x the damage that one would normally do.
Now the Zon in 1.11b Is Far more Weaker (bow wise), only able to hit the enemy once, even with pierce.
Light sorc: Nova sorcs, remember them back then? Cow ownage? You know it! But thats been nuked down quite a bit in 1.10 and 1.11b, that u do a measly 1-2k dmg MAX (with skillers).
Some characters improved with the patch from 1.09-1.10-1.11b, such as the hammerdin (who even had a hammerdin back in 1.09? No one, because there was no synergies back then) hmmm i actually cant remember any at the moment.
But you're forgetting the items that come with every patch. There was no such thing as an "enigma" back then, much less a barb or pally that could teleport(unless they had tele. charges), there was no "call to arms" so you couldn't witness a sorceress Battle Ordering.
So items come into consideration to judge if a character has been improved, or nuked. IMO, the patch of 1.11b is best, mark of fresh Ladder 3 season, dupes all fixed, etc.
Did i drag this post too long? = P
