Not to argue with an Implementor, but, harm was not 'ass' as much as you might think.

When I played Farnsworth recently I noticed that there is a class of mobs who were immune to demonfire, immune to dispel evil, and pretty much immune to everything I could do... except harm.

Harm work(ed?) against several things that nothing else did, for instance a whole host of hell mobs. Other mobs too, such as certain undead and of course many neutral mobs. I am sure you can figure these out yourselves without me having to list them.

So the question is, does the new Afflict work as harm did, and affect in the same way, or did shamen lose the ability to harm certain mobs now?

No, really. It was. There aren't a lot of secrets to a spell that literally has 5 or 6 lines of code.

Yup. Shamans can Afflict anything they could Harm. The echoes adjust for the target in certain scenarios, but the underlying mechanics are the same.
