If you allow Kali to drop packets to speed up game then Diablo is great. 
My brother and I had 600ms ping times and still found Diablo over Kali a
hell of a lot better than Battle.net.  If real hectic it can get a little
jumpy but it's better than timing out all over the place and getting locked
out of Battle.net

I'm using 1.1H2 which might make a little difference as well.
