Changed the example scenario to be more concise.

DarkMasterMan: Blizzard fixed Sanctuary's bonuses against undead to work properly in patch 2.4, I added the relevant notes and also changed the level 1-60 stats table to 1-20, 21-40, 41-60 instead of 1-10, 11-20, etc. I also added a note that Sanctuary is bugged in D2R to ignore non-physical resists in certain scenarios (I believe Pavke discovered this, I might do more research and a forum post to get more indepth info and proper credits at some point).
