0Athene has managed to defeat Diablo on Monster Power 10 with his naked Demon Hunter (only weapon and off-hand equipped). This is likely a world first and is a great achievement indeed! Warning: The video is very long.
Life on Kill
A player on the forums was curious if Life on Kill returns hit points to the player if he only damaged a monsters, but at the end a party member killed it.

On a larger scale, this is something we've been discussing how to improve. We definitely realize the way Life on Kill works right now isn't very co-op friendly. When you're playing with a group of people and sharing your killing blows, the affix just doesn't have as much value as it does in solo games, and that can be a really poor user experience. We also recognize the same applies to various skills, such as the wizard's Archon ability.
We still want players to feel like they can gear/build their characters differently for solo vs. co-op, of course, and we think there will always be some affixes and skills that are better in one more or the other. But, at the moment, the degree of advantage seems like too much of a swing (I imagine a lot of players would agree). We've been discussing possible solutions for how we can bring LoK/Archon/etc into better balance between the two game types, but haven't settled on the best course of action just yet. This issue is absolutely on our radar, though, and we're certainly open to your feedback in the meantime.

Enemy Hit Points Bug
There is currently a bug going around, that spawns monsters with less than maximum hit points.

We found there was a bug (mostly with Monster Power) where monster hit points were not always scaling correctly when they spawned and resulted in creatures running around with less than maximum health without anyone or anything having damaged them. We plan to fix this issue in a future patch, but since it’s not a critical bug we don’t have an ETA to share just yet.

Boss don't enrage, don't have hp regen. Are Paragon lvl100 naked kill that much of a event? No, you can kill diablo mp10 inferno even with level 1 character with lvl 1 ranged weapon, you just need few days of clicking non-stop. Zero perfomance here.
ps. oh forgot - no character skills matter on this, you can do that with just basic attack (which DoucheA not done)
pps. he actually said that he Practicied using sentries, what a m*
[/quote]
Go do it. More than 99% of people will not be able to pull that off for that long.
Point is he spent 2.5 hours ACTUALLY running around clicking and preventing deaths, not just typing one post on a forum saying how easy it is.
You must also think driving in a NASCAR race is easy since you just have to make a left turn.
At 200 MPH.
For 3.5 hours.

[/quote] 2.5 hours ? Dedication??? Bosses in FFXI that required 12-20+ hours to kill - that are dedication, running in circles for 2.5 hours ? Not really, you can just jerk off and run in circles with one other hand, 2.5 hours are just meh, people spend twice more on various HC\Heroic instances in WoW, and that require them using a lot more then 2 buttons\clicks.
ps. also diablo was never the most hardest boss in game, he's even not in top4, all his attacks are too easy to evade, with any kind of ranged attacks - he just some XX time spent. Skill involved? - No. - Not worthy of mentioning. (Or even more - praising)

People hating athene are all retarded and can't figure out that he is actually "in character" when he is Athene - it's not how he is in real life. It's just a character in a show.
God the internet gets dumber and dumber every year
[/quote]
Only someone who acts like his "character" could come up with such a stupid idea for said character. So, no, he's like that in real life.
Of course only someone stupid enough to think Athene is pretending would put a smiley face at the end of a sentence where it doesn't make any sense.
