just on that note, playing a wizard and he has burning hands +17. Damage is something like 17d3+0. seems the + has been dropped from burning hands and all the ball spells. Comparing to a 1.1.1 char ball spells definately changed - my copy bugged?
btw i got precrowned with Grod. So looks like all weapons are now possible. Pity it was with a wizard!
