Diablo 3 skills update since Blizzcon 2010

**melianor** · 26-10-2010, 11:55

Hi folks,

I noticed some really nice updates on skills on another site that tracks all the information regarding the new skill trees on all the characters. Is there any update on your side or information that you provide? I would be happy to update the wiki

regards, meli

I am interested in helping out in the wiki but I don't quite know how you guys want to handle the new skill system itself. Are there any plans or templates going around somewhere?

**Flux** · 26-10-2010, 20:18

yes, anyone is welcome to help out updating the wiki. That's the whole point in having the info in a wiki.

Spurred by your requests and willingness to assist, I've thrown together a very quick DH skills page, and created navigation for her skills as well.

http://www.diablowiki.net/Demon_Hunter_skills

Click the linked skill names, or use the nav bar at the bottom of the page to create them. I made a skeletal page for

Bolo Shot, just for use as a template. Be sure you get the templates and categories to include on any new skill pages you create.

It would be delightful if some of you guys could create and flesh out the individual skill pages, including info from longer descriptions of the skills (such as I wrote in a main page post on Friday) and info from the panels and interviews. Screenshots, from the gameplay movie or directly, are also very welcome additions.

I'd rather have too much info on the pages that can be whittled down later, rather than too little, so if you see a quote from some D3 Team guy, or a useful screenshot, please include it.

i have just updated the complete wizard skill section on the wizard's main page and added diamond skin (+screen) + familiar to her skills, but i noticed that [[Meteor]] is already reserved for the "story-meteor" in the cinematic trailer.

i decided to only add one quick line that meteor is also a wizard skill tier 6, unlocked at lvl20, but i think a separate page for the skill rather than the lore-centered one would be required. no idead how to do that, though

Just make a new page called "Meteor (Wizard Skill)", then on the Wizard page set up the link like this: [[Meteor (Wizard Skill)|Meteor]]. That will make it appear to say "Meteor", but will send you to the skill's page. Then, let an admin deal with redirects.

Sounds good, Flux. I will take a crack at it tomorrow. I haven't done anything like this before but it doesn't look very complicated.

**Risingred** · 27-10-2010, 20:12

Ok, I have a few of the demon hunter skills "done"; Bolo Shot, Entangling Shot, Grenades. Working on more. This is my first time doing this so if you see me screwing something up, feel free to give me a holler. It's addicting. >.>

Yes it is

Okay, so this page:

http://diablowiki.net/Bolo_Shot

Is dead. It lead to a humiliating thread in the demon hunter forums, though, which is always a plus.

The correct page should be:

http://diablowiki.net/Bola_Shot but I don't know how to change it. I populated it, though.

**Flux** · 28-10-2010, 05:49

making a redirect page is very easy.
http://diablowiki.net/index.php?titl...ot&action=edit

#redirect [[Bola Shot]]

that's it. Just #redirect with the page you want it to go to in [[brackets]]. Case sensitive, as always (annoyingly) in wikis. We usually make a bunch of redirects for common names, capitalization issues, etc. PvP, PVP pvp, etc.

Thanks for assistance with the DH pages; I'll get to doing some other skill stuff tomorrow, and can start redoing all the navigation for the other chars, now that skill trees are gone, adding in the new skills, etc.
