NateD: "Trading" article is up

==Welcome==
Feel free to leave a message =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 21 August 2008 (CEST)

==Signing posts==
Hi Leord: I got your message but I am not sure about the best way to answer to you. In fact, editing this post is the only way I could think of. How do you make sure there is a new message tag that pops up on your account when I send you a message? Anyways, yes I am currently trying to update the prefixes and suffixes data on diabloII wiki. I am not that experienced with Wiki (I work trial and error mostly) but I have been playing Diablo for 5 years so I know the game pretty well now. (unsigned: 08:33, 26 August 2008 [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]])

: Cool! Well, take a look at this talk page, this is basically how to do it. Just remember to sign your posts on talk pages, to make it easier to see who posted =) Just make any edit on my talk page, and I'll get a small notification next time I log in to the wiki. To reply, just use ":" in front of the text, like I did here, and make a new headline for new topics. Make new headlines on top. We can keep discussions on one page, instead of flip-flopping here and there, and I assume my talk page will become quite busy, so lots of interesting things will be dealt with here ^^ I must say that you seem to be doing fine, and the prefixes and suffixes are important parts of Diablo, so great Kudos to you! Feel free to come back here and ask me for anything, small or big, I'm here to help =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

:: Great. Thanks! [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]] (11:51, 28 August 2008)

==Question about signatures and Diablo III fact page==

Hello Leord!

Should I sign every page I edit? I understand signing the user pages and so on, but lots of times the edit can be only a small one and I don't want to take credit for it by signing the whole page. Could you clear this one up for me? When should I use signatures?

Also, is there a Diablo III fact page yet? The kind of page which collects all the interesting facts about the game: release date, number of acts, playable character classes, game engine and so on. Not an in-depth article, just a quick "fact sheet" so people won't have to search all those little pieces of information all by themselves across the wiki. As the [http://www.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=16571 recent boomtown article] tells us there's going to be four acts and confirmes once again that there's five character classes, it might be enough to start such a "fact page", especially when the news are that the barbarian is the only recurring character class. --[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 08:41, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Hi Mouseman. You should only sign talk page edits. As for any other page, they would be cluttered with signs everywhere, and we're doing this as a communal project, so everyone's edits (that are not vandalism) are welcome and appreciated.

: The fact sheet is a great idea, and while we don't have one, I'd post it in the news even if you did something out of the [[Fact Sheet]]. I think we have the official sheet laying about, I know Flux mentioned it in the news recently, might be in the [http://www.diii.net/articles/ Diii.net articles section]... Something to start from, and add to. Probably not that advanced, and the Boomtown article might be some cheat sheet help as well. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Minor Edits? ==

Hi Leord, 
Question for you: does flagging an edit as minor yield some advantage when dealing with the revision history? What is the threshold for determining whether an edit is a minor change (i.e. is there a convention or is it mostly for typos)? 
--[[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 08:29, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Good question! We currently do not have a convention for it, and the main reasoning is to be able to hide it in the [[Special:Recent Changes|Recent Changes]]. So, for right now, please do check it if it's minor, but if you don't, it's no biggie. I'd say that typo changes, or changing a word in a sentence to make it easier to understand is placed as "minor". =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Horodric Cube ==

Hi Leord. You left a coment on [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/index.php?title=User_talk:Nickshanks my talk page] but I can't recall what changes i made (they are not listed in the page history!). I wrote a Mac OS X editor for D2 characters. And sometimes actually play the game. Is there anything you specifically need help with? [[User:Nickshanks|Nickshanks]] 12:00, 17 September 2008 (CEST)

== Class and Skill formats ==

Hi Leord, good to see you on the liveblog the other day. About the character/skill pages: now that we have a bit more info on characters and skills, I was thinking to rewrite the character screens and skill lists so they're more consistent, and hopefully present the data we have now a little better. I figured I'd wait a few weeks for all the new info to trickle in before doing this, but wanted to run it by you to see if that approach is too drastic or if you (or Flux or Elly) have a strong idea of how you want them laid out. I planned to make some temporary pages for preview purposes. Thoughts? -- [[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 05:16, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

: That sounds awesome! I know they need reworking, and never be afraid of playing a bit with the wiki. I recommend making test pages on your profile page. Just do it like this: [[User:Azymn/Barbarian_skills]], and we can discuss it there as well. Make sure to poke me, in case I miss the updates in the recent changes page. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:07, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==Message==
Hi, Leord. You left me a message somehow. I'm still getting used to using this here wikithing. I'm glad you liked my edit in the jewels section. Some of that looked like it was written by a 7-year-old, but I felt like it'd have been too much effort to fix up properly. --[[User:Doctorjorts|Doctorjorts]] 17:51, 3 October 2008 (CST)
: Ok, do you mean it's too much mess to fix at all, or just that it was a bit bad? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:18, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==NPCs page linkup and greetings==

Hi again Leord! The NPCs page isn't linked properly in the main page pull-down menu. I don't know how to forward pages so I was wondering if you could do it? So the category:Npcs page should be forwarded to category:NPCs.

I was kind of bummed that you didn't mention me in the main page news when you thanked people's effor on the wiki ;) Did you forget me so soon? :) Well, anyway, I try to polish the [[NPCs]] page yet again and do an edit about Adria the witch today. Probably will be inactive after that for a while, though. Keep up the good work!!--[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 09:41, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

: Thanks Mouseman! I fixed that, and you can look in the [[Help:Redirect]] page for help on how to do that in the future. I'm really more interested in fixing the actual menu links than making redirects, but they are usually good as well, so thanks for being so astute! =)

: I blame the wiki for not crediting you, as it only shows some 500 edits max in the recent changes. ;) I only said thanks to the last week or so worth of contribs, but I added you to a "friends" list of mine, so I haven't forgotten about you! You're still one of the best contribs ;)

: Even if you don't have time to bring in contributions, try to take the time to check your messages (or mine), and post suggestions and opinions on the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal talk page]]. Even if you don't personally do big things all the time, it does help others to feel the wiki is alive =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:53, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Message==
Hola Leord! How's it going? I hope that everything is well :D

This wiki is very nice/informative and should be the bible for the Diablo series. I'll be checking stuff out and correct spelling/add info or fix stuff...I like to lurk :p I think that this wiki is headed the right way and people are helping out a lot to fill it in.
--[[User:Shayagor|Shayagor]] 17:19, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

:"Like to lurk" huh? =) I understand if you don't have time to do bigger things, but just crawling around pages and adding your opinions to discussions like the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]], messages here, or on individual pages for pages. It really helps to make the wiki feel more alive, even if you mainly help with the polish, such as spelling and numbers. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:06, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Tal Rasha==
Leord, thank you for your compliments on my Tal Rasha article. I am new at this so thanks for editing it with links and categories. I appreciate it. I am quite interested in Diablo lore. I will probably do a few more of the pages that the main page of the wiki lists as wanted. Thanks for the help. --[[User:Centipede_t|Centipede_t]] 11:18, 10 November 2008
: Made the reply on your page, just in case you missed it =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 17:12, 11 November 2008 (CET)

==RE: Diablo Droughts==
Hey Leord, I got your message. It is my first time editing this wiki (I edit various work related ones, but they're much different) so if I did something wrong, or forgot to include something let me know. I did see the editing help page, but it was blank, so I figured I didn't have many constraints to work within. In regards to [[Diablo Drought]]s, I was extremely bored while studying so I decided to coin a term for the [frustrating] lack of news we've seen the past couple months. I find myself refreshing diii.net about 10-15 times a day :(

Cheers, and thanks for the corrections.
--[[User_talk:D3nick|D3nick]] 22:46, 08 December 2008 (EST)

==Hi!==
Hey, yeah that was me that you messaged a few days ago. I'm kind of new to this whole thing, but I've been a big Diablo fan for awhile, and thought I might as well fix a typo while I'm reading stuff on here. :)--[[User:Nithix|Nithix]] 22:08, 20 December 2008 (CET)

:: Hey! Moved your comment down, for the chronology =) I also replied on your talk page instead of mine =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:15, 22 December 2008 (CET)

== Linkies ==
Just skimmed your page and noticed you used external links to everything, like so:
:<pre><nowiki>[http://diablowiki.net/User:Azymn Azymn]</nowiki></pre>
You could cut down the size, and remove the blue arrow+box thingy by changing it to
:<pre><nowiki>[[User:Azymn|Azymn]]</nowiki></pre>
Or, you could leave anything beyond the pipe empty, like so:
:<pre><nowiki>[[User:Azymn|]]</nowiki></pre>
Either way, it will produce [[User:Azymn|Azymn]], rather than [http://diablowiki.net/User:Azymn Azymn]. --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 15:12, 25 December 2008 (CET)

: Hehe, indeed, right you are! I just did that as it's easier with copy+paste. In the Hellfire wiki I kept forgetting who came and made smaller contributions, so I don't want to do that same mistake again, that's all. =) If you dislike the external linkies, you're more than free to update my user page for me, but you can probably find lots of things that are more interesting to the community instead. ;)

: I'm quite flattered that you were interested enough in the wiki to notice this, keep up the good work, I'll be back with more time on my hands in a little bit more than a week. I have almost never even the possibility to connect here, and everyone here at home wants to see me since I haven't seen them in over a year, many of them...--[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:18, 27 December 2008 (CET)

== Username on forum ==
I'm actually SlechtWeerBeer on the fora.. :P Saw you had a link to Vipermagi on your page (I have much too little to do >.>" ) --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 15:31, 9 January 2009 (CET)
: Thanks =) I was sure I had found you! =P So you don't know the other Vipermagi, I take it? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:41, 12 January 2009 (CET)

::Eh, no, I don't think so. Besides, his latest activity was in 2005 ^^" --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 21:57, 13 January 2009 (CET)

::: True that. You are most perceptive, young padawan! =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:07, 14 January 2009 (CET)

==Worldstone article/page==
Hey man! First I want to say thank you for all the little tips and directions you gave me about wiking lately ;). Now, I was looking for the [[Worldstone]] article and it says "Temporary Removed" dated by you on november 8. Any chance it will be up and running again soon? I would love to refresh memory on it's story. --[[User:Mizantrop|Mizantrop]] 18:25, 16 January 2009 (CET)
: Yes, that would be very cool! The situation is that some contribs just copy+pasted material from the Wikia DiabloWiki, and we want the material over here to be original to us, at most copying official text (and then mostly for the [[manual]]s etc). In order to update the article with fresh, DiabloWiki-lore, you can go to the "history" section of it, and see the text of the older version. Don't copy+paste it back, but use it for inspiration. Meaning, the facts themselves are ok to use, but you need to use your own language when making the article.

:A few other articles have a similar "Temp deleted". The few of us that contrib lore haven't gotten around to adding them yet, but they are sorely needed. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 19:40, 16 January 2009 (CET)

::I noticed your need for a [[Worldstone]] page, so I decided to create it as my first real article contribution. I added an image for it, also. Hope you like it! --[[User:Delowyn|Delowyn]] 10:27, 24 January 2009 (CET)

::: Hey man. That's awesome, dude! =) It's a superb start for any Wiki editor, and I only have one thing I think you should look at. Please try to keep links to other pages at a lower count. Lots of different links are good, but you only need one link to a specified page per section of the article. Basically, link only [[Sanctuary]] once in the top section, and once in the bottom section. If the page has 5 sections, link up to 5 times to Sanctuary. ;) Same with any link, ofc. Also, good you added the "red" links. It will make them show up [[Special:Wantedpages|here]], so people can find what's needed to make. Make sure to check out my home-grown [[Help]] section, or just ask me if you have a question. PM or e-mail works fine as well! =) Leord 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)

== Thanks ==
Hey man, just wanted to say I got your wiki message today, and thank you for the tips! Of course I don't mind the updates, bring them anytime. Mi casa es su casa. First time using a wiki and I'm still wrapping my head around the rules.
--[[User:Delowyn|Delowyn]] 00:05, 24 January 2009 (CET)
:Cool. Basically, the norm is to reply to messages on teh same page it was made, so you reply on your page if I cam to you with questions, and I reply here, if you ask me =) Sometimes it's good to leave a little "poke" on the other person's page, so they get a message from the wiki they got a new "PM". --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)

==Contest Links==
Hey Leo, on my wiki page I added two images for contest art that I had done, I was wondering if you or anyone else were going to add the contest pages to the community section. I can build them if needed just wanted to come to you here first. The two pages I have the two images linked in their descriptions are: [[Swords Fanart Contest]] and [[Halloween 2008 Contest]] the sub-section on my page for them is [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Holyknight3000#Contest_Artwork Contest Artwork]]. Get back with me later or reply to this wiki post when you can ill check the page daily. Thanks --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 01:52, 26 January 2009 (CET)
 

: Hey HK. The contest pages are definitely going to be added at one point or another. At the moment, I think lore pages will have my full attention though, so I definitely encourage you to carry it on. I did make [[Diii.net contests]] some time ago, but is not sufficiently updated. Also, if you wish to make specific articles for each contest, just make one like this: [[Diii.net contests: Swords Fanart Contest]]. Or whatever name the contest had. If there was different names mentioned on different places, use your own judgement. =) I'm more than happy to come with pointers and help for making the pages, and don't feel like you need to update the [[Diii.net contests]]. Just leave a link from there to your pages. 

: The reason for having "Diii.net contests:" in front of the names is ofc that other fansites might join in to help the wiki, and they can use their own pages for contests ;) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)
 

:: An update for you, you can change the wording if you like but the [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Diii.net_contests#Second_Chance_Readers.27_Vote_Fan_Art_Contest Second Chance Readers' Vote Fan Art Contest] wasn't really updated so i added the winners and the fact that the contest rewarded 3 books instead and added the text about it anf a link to Flux's post about it on the second page of the post. Let me know what ya think and any ideas for later. Thanks Leo, --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 04:18, 28 January 2009 (CET)

::: Another great update, good one. It's obviously not a major one, but it's good to get your head around the code, so any update is good, and it's actually better to start with the ones that are not of critical importance. Myself or Flux will get around to updating the competitions page further later on. Well, if it's already done by then, that's awesome, so we can dedicate time to other things, such as new articles or larger projects =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 17:40, 28 January 2009 (CET)

:::: Anythime, just noticed it wasn't updated with links and other things. I'll leave it to you guys there. I'll do what delo does, and help on other websites, since ive helped the community with wallpapers, think ill do my best and help on the wiki as well.

::::Also this has been eating at me, i wonder if i could make a Fiery Runes Series page, reason im asking is because i can make the page show how the series was built, the changes done to the series, a behind the scenes thing i dunno, i almost made the page 4 times but i restrained myself, thought i'd come talk to the boss over the wiki about it. If not ill add it to my wiki page, either way i think it'll be a nice add to the wiki. Thanks Leo, --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 04:40, 29 January 2009 (CET)

:::::This is the Diablo Wiki. Everything related to Diablo, the game, lore and the community will eventually be included! =) Basically, anything you think might be of slight interest is worthy of an article. The only thing you need to think of is naming policy, and structure of the page. It needs to NOT be an advertisement, it's to be informative. I know this isn't a problem with you, but that's the guideline.

:::::So, when making a new article, you need to think ahad a bit, so the name will not clash with future ingame items, quests or the like. Since you are "just" a contrib still (you're more than welcome as a sysop later on, if you have you get time/skill for it), you don't really have to make a great analysis. Just make an article with appropriate name, and if I come along and think that's a name that we might use for something else, I'll just move the page, and leave a redirect. The content is still there, so there is never a reason NOT to make an article if you have the idea, inspiration and time to do so. =) I hope that answered your question...

:::::Yeah, so [[Fiery Runes Series]] is an ok name for now, can't think of any reason to have it different. Perhaps we'll make it like [[Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]] or so in the future, for coherence with other fan artists. But go with [[Fiery Runes Series]] for now, that's cool. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 13:17, 30 January 2009 (CET)

::::::Give me some time to gather all the data, and type it all; out images also, but if you want my honest opinion leo, this stuff should be like you said at the latter [[Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]], Need to get with Delo and see if he wants to name his 3d art series and make a similar page so he can show how he made all his images. Worst case scenario I could just add how i did the series as a subsection on my page as the rest of the series posts are there too. I might do that for now and when we get the data all situated ill move it to the new page. Let me know what you think. --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 03:43, 31 January 2009 (CET)

::::::: With this structure, it does not have to be a "series". Just any project. He could do a [[Fanart:Mistress of Pain]] with pics. In this case, it's plenty of room on his [[Delowyn]] page, so no need to think of it right now, but as time goes on, there might be too much clutter, so splicing the page up into other articles is just natural. Just like any wiki page! Point is, any article that's related DIRECTLY to fan art, we'll from now on decide to add in a "Fanart:" prefix, just like "[[User:Holyknight3000]]" or "[[Boilerplate:Monster]]. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 15:13, 3 February 2009 (CET)

:::::::: Sounds like a plan to me leo, in the future let me know when you want me to move my stuff to a new page or whatever. Until then ill build the behind the runes sup-section in the meantime!--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 21:59, 3 February 2009 (CET)

I really liked how it all turned out. I may take it easy from a wallpaper this week i dunno I might make a new non fiery wall. See ya soon!--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 02:24, 16 February 2009 (CET)

:Aw, man, this is exactly what I was thinking of when I was encouraging you to make a HK3K page! I fixed some oddity you made with the titles, but that's about it.

== "Trading" article is up ==

I've started an article on '''[[Trading|item trading in DIII]]'''. It's not much to look at yet, but the basics are there. Let me know what you think! --[[User:NateD|NateD]] 21:10, 18 February 2009 (CET)

Trade

2009-02-18T01:51:48Z

NateD:

[[Image:GoodLootButWrongClass.jpg|320px|thumb|right|This [[Siegebreaker Assault Beast|Siegebreaker]] boss just dropped a high-quality staff, but [[Barbarian]]s obviously prefer other weapons. You ''could'' sell it, but perhaps there's a [[Wizard]] who just got a really nice Barbarian item...]]

In ''Diablo III'', [[Items#Individual_Drops|any dropped items you see are yours to keep]]. This prevents others from hoarding valuable drops upon the death of a particularly powerful foe (especially Act Bosses). However, many high-quality dropped items will still be unusable by your character class; you may, for instance, have a powerful [[Wizard]]-only item drop when you are playing as a [[Barbarian]]. You could always sell it for a large amount of [[gold]], which is a perfectly acceptable thing to do; however, perhaps you could get a nice item for your own class. Maybe someone just found something really nice for your character...

'''Item trading''' was an integral component of ''Diablo II'', allowing players to securely exchange multiple goods by placing them into an inventory-like screen before verifying the trade. For ''Diablo III'', [[Blizzard]] wants to place a much higher emphasis on item trading. Since players can now see the damage-per-second (DPS) and sell value of each item, players can also make more informed decisions about trading.

It is currently unknown how (or if) item trading will differ from ''Diablo II'', or if there will be any added incentives to trade with others.

NateD: Started article

[[Image:GoodLootButWrongClass.jpg|300px|thumb|right|This [[Siegebreaker Assault Beast|Siegebreaker]] boss just dropped a high-quality staff, but [[Barbarian]]s prefer axes and swords! You could sell it, but perhaps there's a [[Wizard]] who just got a really nice Barbarian item...]]

In ''Diablo III'', [[Items#Individual_Drops|any dropped items you see are yours to keep]]. This prevents others from hoarding valuable drops upon the death of a particularly powerful foe (especially Act Bosses). However, many high-quality dropped items will still be unusable by your character class; you may, for instance, have a powerful [[Wizard]]-only item drop when you are playing as a [[Barbarian]]. You could always sell it for a large amount of [[gold]], which is a perfectly acceptable thing to do; however, perhaps you could get a nice item for your own class. Maybe someone just found something really nice for your character...

'''Item trading''' was a handy component of ''Diablo II'', allowing players to securely exchange multiple goods by placing them into an inventory-like screen before verifying the trade. For ''Diablo III'', [[Blizzard]] wants to place a much higher emphasis on item trading. Since players can now see the damage-per-second (DPS) and sell value of each item, players can also make more informed decisions about trading.

It is currently unknown how (or if) item trading will differ from ''Diablo II'', or if there will be any added incentives to trade with others.

Skill Runes

2009-02-17T09:03:48Z

NateD: a few minor typo/grammar corrections

'''Runes''' in [[Diablo 3]] are small items that are socketed into [[skill]]s, not [[item]]s. The runes grant special bonuses to the skill. There are many types of runes, all found in various quality levels, and they work across skills; each rune will (in theory) work in every skill, adding something similar to the skills.

==D3 Runes vs. D2 Runes==

Runes in Diablo III are nothing like the Runes found in Diablo II. In D2 there were 33 kinds of {{iw|Runes Runes}}, which were small items that had no use on their own, but that could be placed in item sockets to add various bonuses to the item. Certain combinations of runes could also be used to create {{iw|Runeword RuneWords}}, very powerful items with pre-set stats.

In Diablo III, Runes are still small objects that must be placed in sockets to take effect, but in D3 the sockets are in skills, not items. (Items may also have sockets, but runes won't be used in them if they do.) Active skills have sockets in the skill tree interface, and when a valid rune is placed into the socket, the skill gains an appropriate bonus, depending on the type and quality of rune used. Bonuses vary greatly, depending on the skill and the type of rune used, and include such things as extra hits, extra damage, increased spell duration, and many more.

==Rune Function==
[[Image:runeskill.jpg|thumb|Rune Socket]]Skill Runes in Diablo III improve a character's active skills in various creative ways. Runes don't just add damage; they modify the skill in some way, making it more powerful and fun to use, as well as allowing for character customization. Runes can be used very strategically; different runes in the same spell will do things. For example: the Wizard skill, Blizzard, would gain different benefits from different runes. A few hypothetical Blizzard bonuses: more falling projectiles, longer duration, more damage per projectile, longer chill time, better to/hit, better chance of critical hit, and so forth. Also, each of those types of bonuses would be increased in power by the quality of the rune used, allowing for a huge variety of potential bonuses and play styles.

As of the BlizzCon demo (October 2008), only some Active Skills had sockets for runes; none of the Passive skills did. Furthermore, no skill had more than one socket. It is not known if any of this will remain that way in the final game.

Runes can be removed from sockets at any time and without any penalty. Theoretically, players could juggle their runes around constantly, sticking in a multi-strike rune to deal with big mobs, changing to a power rune to up the single target damage before a boss battle, and so forth. It's likely that Blizzard will take steps to limit this "rune juggling", perhaps forcing players to return to town before they can change the rune socketed in a spell, putting a cool down time on resocketing the same skill, limiting the number of times a particular rune can be socketed, or even causing runes to lose quality when unsocketed.

===Function Examples===
The D3 Team gave several examples of rune functions during a panel at Blizzcon (October 2008) when Skill Runes were first revealed as a game feature. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouYP1zGfd0s Watch the demonstration] on YouTube.)

====Wizard's Mirror Image====
* '''Mirror Image Skill:''' This skill, from the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]], creates a duplicate of the [[wizard]], which is capable of moving around and using spells to attack monsters. (It's not just a decoy or an illusion.)
** '''Multistrike Rune: '''Socketing this rune would increase the number of duplicates. Higher quality levels of the multi-strike rune would presumably add more duplicates.
** '''Power Rune: '''Socketing this rune would increase the hit points of each duplicate, and increase the spell's duration.

====Wizard's Teleport Skill====
* '''Teleport skill:''' This skill, from the [[Arcane Skill Tree]], teleports the Wizard to the targeted location. The spell isn't quite as quick as it was in Diablo or Diablo 2, since the Wizard leaps up into the air before vanishing, and appears in the air, then falls down to earth.

* With '''Striking Rune:''' Adds damage to targets near where the Wizard appears, functioning something like the Barbarian's Leap Attack skill.

[[Image:teleport_striking.jpg|center]]

* With '''Multistrike Rune:''' Creates a temporary duplicate of the Wizard that will attract enemy fire and will fight and deal damage as well. (This seems to be basically a free way to cast Mirror Image when you Teleport.)

[[Image:teleport_multistrike.jpg|center]]

====Witch Doctor's Skull of Flame====
* '''Skull of Flame skill:''' The Witch Doctor lobs a flaming skull, grenade style, which explodes on impact, dealing substantial fire damage to nearby targets.

* With '''Multistrike Rune:''' Socketing this rune causes the flaming skull to skip along the ground, like a stone over water, creating multiple explosions. Higher quality runes would allow additional bounces.

[[Image:skullofflame_multistrike.jpg|center]]

* With '''Power Rune:''' Socketing this rune adds a firefield property to the Skull of Flame, creating a small patch of flame on the ground that persists after the skull's explosion and damages any monsters that cross over it.

[[Image:skullofflame_power.jpg|center]]

====Wizard's Electrocute====
* '''Electrocute skill:''' This skill, from the [[Storm Skill Tree]] creates a strand of lightning that locks onto an enemy like a beam weapon, dealing steady lightning damage. It will chain to a second enemy if one is in range, dealing damage to both.

* With '''Multistrike Rune:''' Socketing this rune allows the lightning to chain to multiple targets.

[[Image:electrocute_multistrike.jpg|center]]

* With '''Lethality Rune:''' Socketing this rune causes some of the monsters killed by Electrocute to explode in a nova, dealing damage to other nearby enemies.

[[Image:electrocute_lethality.jpg|center]]

==Rune Types==
Skill Runes will be found in a variety of types. Known runes:

* Energy Rune
* Lethality Rune
* Multistrike Rune
* Power Rune
* Striking Rune

(Players have spent a lot of time [http://forums.diii.net/showthread.php?p=6871952 thinking up other types of runes], and discussing their potential benefits.)

More runes will almost certainly be added during development as the team thinks of useful types to include in the game. The team won't be adding a lot of odd types of runes, though; D3 Lead Designer Jay Wilson has stressed that runes must add a useful function to multiple types of skills. The D3 Team wants all the runes to be useful to all characters, so they won't add runes that just boost one type of skill, or one character's skills. They have to think up rune bonus properties that work across the board, so there are probably not going to be 50 types of runes. (Utility doesn't equal equality, since not every skill can receive exactly the same level of improvement from every rune.)

==Rune Quality Levels==

It's been stated that runes will have various levels of quality, in a fashion somewhat akin to the different quality levels of {{iw|Gem gems}} in Diablo II. At BlizzCon 2008, [[Jay Wilson]] said there were 5 or 6 quality levels of runes, but that the number could go up or down during development. Higher qualities of runes will (of course) be dropped by higher level monsters, and the higher qualities will be much rarer. The function of each type of rune will not change at higher quality; instead the bonuses will be increased.

The D3 team hasn't yet revealed much information about how item crafting will work in D3, other than to say that they won't have any {{iw|Horadric_Cube Horadric Cube-style}} converting items. We therefore know nothing about the potential for runes to be upgraded by type, though it's certainly possible that something along those lines could be implemented.

==Rune Storage==
At the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo, runes were stored in an inventory grid on the skill tree menu; not in the normal inventory. There were 10 rune slots below the skill trees. It's not known if they will still be stored there in the final game, if there will be ways to increase the number of slots, or if they can be stored in the inventory instead.

==Trivia (Rune History)==
What do you really know about runes? The ones from our world come from the ancient Vikings, and their "futhark" (equivalence of our 'Alpha Bet(a)'). They allegedly hold magic powers, and the magicks of the 'runa' are still practiced today. These practices, called "Seden", are of course done mostly as a pastime, but some forms of the old runes were used in proper form as late as early 20th century in the 'Dalarna' area of Sweden...

[[Image:Runes.jpg|center]]

In [[Sanctuary]], however, runes are magically inscribed symbols. Though their use has changed slightly in the last 20 years, they used to grant (sufficiently prepared) [[items]] magical properties. For sages of these runes, magical {{iw|Runeword RuneWords}} would be created to remake a mundane item into a Runic Item, with powers competing with magical artefacts.

Besides the fact that these supposedly ancient runes hold great and mystic powers, we know little about them. Who created them or how they are created is unknown. They seem to attract [[demon]]s of different kinds, as they are often found on their corpses. If the runes are of demonic origin is not known either. They could have been the simple writing language of the first inhabitants of Sanctuary, who themselves were more powerful than Demons or [[Angel]]s. Whatever the origin, they are of great use to heroes wishing to dethrone [[Diablo]] or [[Baal]].

NateD: Re: Grammar Fixes

==Welcome==
Feel free to leave a message =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 21 August 2008 (CEST)

==Signing posts==
Hi Leord: I got your message but I am not sure about the best way to answer to you. In fact, editing this post is the only way I could think of. How do you make sure there is a new message tag that pops up on your account when I send you a message? Anyways, yes I am currently trying to update the prefixes and suffixes data on diabloII wiki. I am not that experienced with Wiki (I work trial and error mostly) but I have been playing Diablo for 5 years so I know the game pretty well now. (unsigned: 08:33, 26 August 2008 [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]])

: Cool! Well, take a look at this talk page, this is basically how to do it. Just remember to sign your posts on talk pages, to make it easier to see who posted =) Just make any edit on my talk page, and I'll get a small notification next time I log in to the wiki. To reply, just use ":" in front of the text, like I did here, and make a new headline for new topics. Make new headlines on top. We can keep discussions on one page, instead of flip-flopping here and there, and I assume my talk page will become quite busy, so lots of interesting things will be dealt with here ^^ I must say that you seem to be doing fine, and the prefixes and suffixes are important parts of Diablo, so great Kudos to you! Feel free to come back here and ask me for anything, small or big, I'm here to help =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

:: Great. Thanks! [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]] (11:51, 28 August 2008)

==Question about signatures and Diablo III fact page==

Hello Leord!

Should I sign every page I edit? I understand signing the user pages and so on, but lots of times the edit can be only a small one and I don't want to take credit for it by signing the whole page. Could you clear this one up for me? When should I use signatures?

Also, is there a Diablo III fact page yet? The kind of page which collects all the interesting facts about the game: release date, number of acts, playable character classes, game engine and so on. Not an in-depth article, just a quick "fact sheet" so people won't have to search all those little pieces of information all by themselves across the wiki. As the [http://www.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=16571 recent boomtown article] tells us there's going to be four acts and confirmes once again that there's five character classes, it might be enough to start such a "fact page", especially when the news are that the barbarian is the only recurring character class. --[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 08:41, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Hi Mouseman. You should only sign talk page edits. As for any other page, they would be cluttered with signs everywhere, and we're doing this as a communal project, so everyone's edits (that are not vandalism) are welcome and appreciated.

: The fact sheet is a great idea, and while we don't have one, I'd post it in the news even if you did something out of the [[Fact Sheet]]. I think we have the official sheet laying about, I know Flux mentioned it in the news recently, might be in the [http://www.diii.net/articles/ Diii.net articles section]... Something to start from, and add to. Probably not that advanced, and the Boomtown article might be some cheat sheet help as well. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Minor Edits? ==

Hi Leord, 
Question for you: does flagging an edit as minor yield some advantage when dealing with the revision history? What is the threshold for determining whether an edit is a minor change (i.e. is there a convention or is it mostly for typos)? 
--[[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 08:29, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Good question! We currently do not have a convention for it, and the main reasoning is to be able to hide it in the [[Special:Recent Changes|Recent Changes]]. So, for right now, please do check it if it's minor, but if you don't, it's no biggie. I'd say that typo changes, or changing a word in a sentence to make it easier to understand is placed as "minor". =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Horodric Cube ==

Hi Leord. You left a coment on [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/index.php?title=User_talk:Nickshanks my talk page] but I can't recall what changes i made (they are not listed in the page history!). I wrote a Mac OS X editor for D2 characters. And sometimes actually play the game. Is there anything you specifically need help with? [[User:Nickshanks|Nickshanks]] 12:00, 17 September 2008 (CEST)

== Class and Skill formats ==

Hi Leord, good to see you on the liveblog the other day. About the character/skill pages: now that we have a bit more info on characters and skills, I was thinking to rewrite the character screens and skill lists so they're more consistent, and hopefully present the data we have now a little better. I figured I'd wait a few weeks for all the new info to trickle in before doing this, but wanted to run it by you to see if that approach is too drastic or if you (or Flux or Elly) have a strong idea of how you want them laid out. I planned to make some temporary pages for preview purposes. Thoughts? -- [[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 05:16, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

: That sounds awesome! I know they need reworking, and never be afraid of playing a bit with the wiki. I recommend making test pages on your profile page. Just do it like this: [[User:Azymn/Barbarian_skills]], and we can discuss it there as well. Make sure to poke me, in case I miss the updates in the recent changes page. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:07, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==Message==
Hi, Leord. You left me a message somehow. I'm still getting used to using this here wikithing. I'm glad you liked my edit in the jewels section. Some of that looked like it was written by a 7-year-old, but I felt like it'd have been too much effort to fix up properly. --[[User:Doctorjorts|Doctorjorts]] 17:51, 3 October 2008 (CST)
: Ok, do you mean it's too much mess to fix at all, or just that it was a bit bad? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:18, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==NPCs page linkup and greetings==

Hi again Leord! The NPCs page isn't linked properly in the main page pull-down menu. I don't know how to forward pages so I was wondering if you could do it? So the category:Npcs page should be forwarded to category:NPCs.

I was kind of bummed that you didn't mention me in the main page news when you thanked people's effor on the wiki ;) Did you forget me so soon? :) Well, anyway, I try to polish the [[NPCs]] page yet again and do an edit about Adria the witch today. Probably will be inactive after that for a while, though. Keep up the good work!!--[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 09:41, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

: Thanks Mouseman! I fixed that, and you can look in the [[Help:Redirect]] page for help on how to do that in the future. I'm really more interested in fixing the actual menu links than making redirects, but they are usually good as well, so thanks for being so astute! =)

: I blame the wiki for not crediting you, as it only shows some 500 edits max in the recent changes. ;) I only said thanks to the last week or so worth of contribs, but I added you to a "friends" list of mine, so I haven't forgotten about you! You're still one of the best contribs ;)

: Even if you don't have time to bring in contributions, try to take the time to check your messages (or mine), and post suggestions and opinions on the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal talk page]]. Even if you don't personally do big things all the time, it does help others to feel the wiki is alive =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:53, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Message==
Hola Leord! How's it going? I hope that everything is well :D

This wiki is very nice/informative and should be the bible for the Diablo series. I'll be checking stuff out and correct spelling/add info or fix stuff...I like to lurk :p I think that this wiki is headed the right way and people are helping out a lot to fill it in.
--[[User:Shayagor|Shayagor]] 17:19, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

:"Like to lurk" huh? =) I understand if you don't have time to do bigger things, but just crawling around pages and adding your opinions to discussions like the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]], messages here, or on individual pages for pages. It really helps to make the wiki feel more alive, even if you mainly help with the polish, such as spelling and numbers. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:06, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Tal Rasha==
Leord, thank you for your compliments on my Tal Rasha article. I am new at this so thanks for editing it with links and categories. I appreciate it. I am quite interested in Diablo lore.

==RE: Diablo Droughts==
Hey Leord, I got your message. It is my first time editing this wiki (I edit various work related ones, but they're much different) so if I did something wrong, or forgot to include something let me know. I did see the editing help page, but it was blank, so I figured I didn't have many constraints to work within. In regards to [[Diablo Drought]]s, I was extremely bored while studying so I decided to coin a term for the [frustrating] lack of news we've seen the past couple months. I find myself refreshing diii.net about 10-15 times a day :(

Cheers, and thanks for the corrections.

Just skimmed your page and noticed you used external links to everything, like so:
:<pre><nowiki>[http://diablowiki.net/User:Azymn Azymn]</nowiki></pre>
You could cut down the size, and remove the blue arrow+box thingy by changing it to
:<pre><nowiki>[[User:Azymn|Azymn]]</nowiki></pre>
Or, you could leave anything beyond the pipe empty, like so:
:<pre><nowiki>[[User:Azymn|]]</nowiki></pre>
Either way, it will produce [[User:Azymn|Azymn]], rather than [http://diablowiki.net/User:Azymn Azymn]. --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 15:12, 25 December 2008 (CET)

: Hehe, indeed, right you are! I just did that as it's easier with copy+paste. In the Hellfire wiki I kept forgetting who came and made smaller contributions, so I don't want to do that same mistake again, that's all. =) If you dislike the external linkies, you're more than free to update my user page for me, but you can probably find lots of things that are more interesting to the community instead. ;)

: I'm quite flattered that you were interested enough in the wiki to notice this, keep up the good work, I'll be back with more time on my hands in a little bit more than a week. I have almost never even the possibility to connect here, and everyone here at home wants to see me since I haven't seen them in over a year, many of them...--[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:18, 27 December 2008 (CET)

Hey man! First I want to say thank you for all the little tips and directions you gave me about wiking lately ;).

I would love to refresh memory on it's story. --[[User:Mizantrop|Mizantrop]] 18:25, 16 January 2009 (CET)
: Yes, that would be very cool! The situation is that some contribs just copy+pasted material from the Wikia DiabloWiki, and we want the material over here to be original to us, at most copying official text (and then mostly for the [[manual]]s etc). In order to update the article with fresh, DiabloWiki-lore, you can go to the "history" section of it, and see the text of the older version. Don't copy+paste it back, but use it for inspiration. Meaning, the facts themselves are ok to use, but you need to use your own language when making the article.

:A few other articles have a similar "Temp deleted". The few of us that contrib lore haven't gotten around to adding them yet, but they are sorely needed. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 19:40, 16 January 2009 (CET)

::I noticed your need for a [[Worldstone]] page, so I decided to create it as my first real article contribution. I added an image for it, also. Hope you like it! --[[User:Delowyn|Delowyn]] 10:27, 24 January 2009 (CET)

::: Hey man. That's awesome, dude! =) It's a superb start for any Wiki editor, and I only have one thing I think you should look at. Please try to keep links to other pages at a lower count. Lots of different links are good, but you only need one link to a specified page per section of the article. Basically, link only [[Sanctuary]] once in the top section, and once in the bottom section. If the page has 5 sections, link up to 5 times to Sanctuary. ;) Same with any link, ofc. Also, good you added the "red" links. It will make them show up [[Special:Wantedpages|here]], so people can find what's needed to make. Make sure to check out my home-grown [[Help]] section, or just ask me if you have a question. PM or e-mail works fine as well! =) Leord 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)

== Thanks ==
Hey man, just wanted to say I got your wiki message today, and thank you for the tips! Of course I don't mind the updates, bring them anytime. Mi casa es su casa. First time using a wiki and I'm still wrapping my head around the rules.
--[[User:Delowyn|Delowyn]] 00:05, 24 January 2009 (CET)
:Cool. Basically, the norm is to reply to messages on teh same page it was made, so you reply on your page if I cam to you with questions, and I reply here, if you ask me =) Sometimes it's good to leave a little "poke" on the other person's page, so they get a message from the wiki they got a new "PM". --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)

==Contest Links==
Hey Leo, on my wiki page I added two images for contest art that I had done, I was wondering if you or anyone else were going to add the contest pages to the community section. I can build them if needed just wanted to come to you here first. The two pages I have the two images linked in their descriptions are: [[Swords Fanart Contest]] and [[Halloween 2008 Contest]] the sub-section on my page for them is [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Holyknight3000#Contest_Artwork Contest Artwork]]. Get back with me later or reply to this wiki post when you can ill check the page daily. Thanks --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 01:52, 26 January 2009 (CET)
 

: Hey HK. The contest pages are definitely going to be added at one point or another. At the moment, I think lore pages will have my full attention though, so I definitely encourage you to carry it on. I did make [[Diii.net contests]] some time ago, but is not sufficiently updated. Also, if you wish to make specific articles for each contest, just make one like this: [[Diii.net contests: Swords Fanart Contest]]. Or whatever name the contest had. If there was different names mentioned on different places, use your own judgement. =) I'm more than happy to come with pointers and help for making the pages, and don't feel like you need to update the [[Diii.net contests]]. Just leave a link from there to your pages. 

: The reason for having "Diii.net contests:" in front of the names is ofc that other fansites might join in to help the wiki, and they can use their own pages for contests ;) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 26 January 2009 (CET)
 

:: An update for you, you can change the wording if you like but the [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Diii.net_contests#Second_Chance_Readers.27_Vote_Fan_Art_Contest Second Chance Readers' Vote Fan Art Contest] wasn't really updated so i added the winners and the fact that the contest rewarded 3 books instead and added the text about it anf a link to Flux's post about it on the second page of the post. Let me know what ya think and any ideas for later. Thanks Leo, --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 04:18, 28 January 2009 (CET)

::: Another great update, good one. It's obviously not a major one, but it's good to get your head around the code, so any update is good, and it's actually better to start with the ones that are not of critical importance. Myself or Flux will get around to updating the competitions page further later on. Well, if it's already done by then, that's awesome, so we can dedicate time to other things, such as new articles or larger projects =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 17:40, 28 January 2009 (CET)

:::: Anythime, just noticed it wasn't updated with links and other things. I'll leave it to you guys there. I'll do what delo does, and help on other websites, since ive helped the community with wallpapers, think ill do my best and help on the wiki as well.

::::Also this has been eating at me, i wonder if i could make a Fiery Runes Series page, reason im asking is because i can make the page show how the series was built, the changes done to the series, a behind the scenes thing i dunno, i almost made the page 4 times but i restrained myself, thought i'd come talk to the boss over the wiki about it. If not ill add it to my wiki page, either way i think it'll be a nice add to the wiki. Thanks Leo, --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 04:40, 29 January 2009 (CET)

:::::This is the Diablo Wiki. Everything related to Diablo, the game, lore and the community will eventually be included! =) Basically, anything you think might be of slight interest is worthy of an article. The only thing you need to think of is naming policy, and structure of the page. It needs to NOT be an advertisement, it's to be informative. I know this isn't a problem with you, but that's the guideline.

:::::So, when making a new article, you need to think ahad a bit, so the name will not clash with future ingame items, quests or the like. Since you are "just" a contrib still (you're more than welcome as a sysop later on, if you have you get time/skill for it), you don't really have to make a great analysis. Just make an article with appropriate name, and if I come along and think that's a name that we might use for something else, I'll just move the page, and leave a redirect. The content is still there, so there is never a reason NOT to make an article if you have the idea, inspiration and time to do so. =) I hope that answered your question...

:::::Yeah, so [[Fiery Runes Series]] is an ok name for now, can't think of any reason to have it different. Perhaps we'll make it like [[Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]] or so in the future, for coherence with other fan artists. But go with [[Fiery Runes Series]] for now, that's cool. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 13:17, 30 January 2009 (CET)

::::::Give me some time to gather all the data, and type it all; out images also, but if you want my honest opinion leo, this stuff should be like you said at the latter [[Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]], Need to get with Delo and see if he wants to name his 3d art series and make a similar page so he can show how he made all his images. Worst case scenario I could just add how i did the series as a subsection on my page as the rest of the series posts are there too. I might do that for now and when we get the data all situated ill move it to the new page. Let me know what you think. --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 03:43, 31 January 2009 (CET)

::::::: With this structure, it does not have to be a "series". Just any project. He could do a [[Fanart:Mistress of Pain]] with pics. In this case, it's plenty of room on his [[Delowyn]] page, so no need to think of it right now, but as time goes on, there might be too much clutter, so splicing the page up into other articles is just natural. Just like any wiki page! Point is, any article that's related DIRECTLY to fan art, we'll from now on decide to add in a "Fanart:" prefix, just like "[[User:Holyknight3000]]" or "[[Boilerplate:Monster]]. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 15:13, 3 February 2009 (CET)

:::::::: Sounds like a plan to me leo, in the future let me know when you want me to move my stuff to a new page or whatever. Until then ill build the behind the runes sup-section in the meantime!--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 21:59, 3 February 2009 (CET)

==Replying==

Hey Leo, check my page i replied to your message! --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 22:53, 4 February 2009 (CET)

::On a side note i pray when i created pages and moved them around like you asked, that i did them right, please get back with me soon if i didn't. I have a feeling i did just still worried you know. This is THE diablowiki after all! --[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 02:37, 5 February 2009 (CET)

==Phase Two for the Behind the Fiery Runes==
Just letting you know leo if you havent seen yet that ive started adding images to the [[Fanart:Behind_the_Fiery_Runes]] and will gradually add more as time goes on. I know ill do revisions but Atleast the sections getting some images added now!--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 00:26, 15 February 2009 (CET)

==Massive Wiki Updates for my Sections==
hey leo Ive been a tad busy today, updated [[Fanart:Behind the Fiery Runes]], [[Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]], and my [[Holyknight3000]] page changing my Fiery Rune links into sub-links now that i learned the code a little better, let me know what you think. I really liked how it all turned out. I may take it easy from a wallpaper this week i dunno I might make a new non fiery wall. See ya soon!--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 02:24, 16 February 2009 (CET)

:Aw, man, this is exactly what I was thinking of when I was encouraging you to make a HK3K page! I fixed some oddity you made with the titles, but that's about it. I think you should add links to your Wiki profile, forum profile(s) and any Deviant Art account or the like. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 16:57, 16 February 2009 (CET)

::Hey Leo i also left messages on both discussions on both the wiki pages, here - [[Talk:Fanart:Behind the Fiery Runes]] and [[Talk:Fanart:Fiery Runes Series]], The Behind the fiery runes one i had an idea come about, take a look and lemme know what ya think.--[[User:Holyknight3000|holyknight3000]] 22:09, 16 February 2009 (CET)

== Re: Grammar Fixes ==

Sorry about the late reply; college has me busy at the moment :(

Anyhow, I'd love to do some more writing/grammar fixes for the Wiki when I have the time. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like me to work on. - [[User:NateD|NateD]] 09:34, 17 February 2009 (CET)

Zombie

2009-01-26T19:09:34Z

NateD:

'''Zombies''' are [[undead]] reanimated human corpses that hunger for the blood and flesh of the living.

}}Zombies return to [[Diablo III]] in much the same form as they limped around in [[Diablo I]] and [[Diablo II]]: humanoid, slow, shambling, and just generally unpleasant. Their slow speed and negligible intelligence makes them ideal targets for new characters who are just starting to practice their skills.

They are easy to outrun and outsmart, and only ever pose a threat if they appear in such large numbers that you can't kill them all in time. Even that, however, is normally not a problem, since all classes have some sort of [[AoE]] damage spell to kill more of them at once.

===Spells and Abilities===
* Zombies have no known spells or special abilities.

===Known Zombie Types===
While there are individual monsters actually called "Zombie," the term is frequently used to refer to all of the fleshy, undead, human-sized creatures in Diablo III. These include:
* [[Crawling Torso]] - A Zombie which is not dealt enough damage to continues to crawl.
* [[Walking Corpse]] - A slightly tougher Zombie.
* [[Wretched Dead]] - Other sort of zombie, that also can be female.
It's not yet known if these are different [[monster]] types, or just subtypes of the basic Zombie.



===Related Monsters===
* '''[[Ghoul]]''' - Seems to be a reanimated corpse (ie: a Zombie), but has none of the classical characteristics of the classical walking corpse. they are fast and nimble. We're not sure if this monster is related or not yet.



==Background==
Zombies can be both re-animated corpses straight out of a grave, which require very little [[magic]] energy from a [[Necromancer]] to give a basic motivation (braaaains...) of destructive power. It's motivation can also be a restless spirit of the former inhabitant of the body, awakening again after death, looking for others to inflict this pain.

Zombies are generally completely void of intelligence, and the wounds they received prior to their death often slows them down, making them dangerous primarily only in large numbers. They are the most basic sort of [[undead]], often thought of as even less troublesome than [[Skeleton]]s. The one thing they have as an advantage is usually that they can take more physical punishment before they are destroyed, and the force or spirit that drives them is removed/expelled.





==Development==
In previous games, Zombies have been pretty straight-forward.

NateD:

I'm a big fan of the first two Diablo games and am eagerly awaiting the third. I'll mostly be doing minor edits on this wiki like typo/grammar corrections, but I have the time I'll do something bigger.
