Martini: thank you note ;)

Hiya Onderduiker!

I noticed that you reverted a few of my pages that I had deleted. I had deleted them at the time due to being somewhat unwelcome in the Basin, regarding that most basiners would rather do without my help or assistance in anything. That was not actually a vandalism, but if you feel that the pages were wanted, then do please keep them. It would probably do a lot for my self-esteem if someone finds the pages useful and enjoys them. Thanks for taking the time and effort in saving the work done here ... I greatly appreciate the things you do to keep this wiki going. [[User:Skie|Skie of Marduke]] 22:31, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

:I think you're giving me too much credit: a few months ago I went through our Wiki just adding category tags to all content pages (including yours) so that it would be clear(er) to which game they belonged, but I don't remember reverting any blanked or deleted pages. As far as I know, your only potentially controversial contributions are your [[CD_Rom]] emulation guide and [[A Guide to Rushing]], both of which I've seen linked for as long as I can remember (although I may have moved around those links over the years: just a few days ago I moved the link to the guide to rushing from the [[Basic]] to the new [[Hardcore]] page).

:Thanks for your contributions to our Wiki: you don't always get the same feedback you do from our forums, but judging by the number of views your guides must have been appreciated (certainly, no one has taken enough offence to remove internal links to them, let alone blank or delete the pages themselves). [[User:Onderduiker|Onderduiker]] 07:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

::I was, of course, referring to the Guildwars guide pages... I had never removed the D2 guides. I do think, though, that I should convert my Diablo Clone guide to wiki markup and put it in here... but I basically stopped playing Guildwars a long while ago. I have no idea how to even check how often a page gets viewed in here, lol! [[User:Skie|Skie of Marduke]] 09:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

:::Ah, I see: I don't play Guild Wars so I don't visit those forums or Wiki pages (except to add category tags), so I was unaware of any controversy or friction there. However, looking at the revision history of [[A Guide to Bows and Modifiers]] and [[A Guide to Combat in Guild Wars]], I notice that you first blanked the pages and then reverted those yourself (my recent edits were simply to add them to the Guild Wars category).

:::If you decide to add your Diablo Clone guide to our Wiki, you can add a link to it to the [[World Event]] and [[Diablo (World Event)]] pages (or add the information directly to those pages if you prefer: I won't get around to adding any information myself until late this year or early next year).

:::There's a bar at the bottom of each page which tells you when it was last modified and how many times it's been accessed/viewed (easy to overlook on long pages unless you scroll right down to the bottom).

:::I noticed you blanked some pages added by vandals, but this isn't necessary: I regularly check recent changes and as an administrator I can delete those pages entirely and block the users (now that I've categorised all legitimate pages, I can use [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] to double-check in case I miss any). Unfortunately the vandalism is most likely the product of bots rather than actual people, but I can deal with it quite quickly and easily as long as I don't let it build up (a minute or two a day is no problem, 15-20 minutes once a week would be tedious).

Just a quick thanks for the formatting help on the D3 pages. I did look at the tables you had set up before, but didn't know how to make that formatting work with the spreadsheet that I was using for the skills info. Much thanks for the formatting and standardizing help! - martini

{{Intro}}
Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], the Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced June 28 2008 that Diablo III was in development. Beta was announced [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3542796/The_Diablo_III_Beta_Is_Now_Live-9_20_2011#blog 20 September 2011], and it was announced [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4612389/Diablo_III_Launching_May_15_%E2%80%93_Digital_Pre-Sales_NOW_OPEN-3_15_2012#blog 15 March 2012] that Diablo III would finally be released {{Ub|=15 May 2012}}.

{{Warn|=Any content which has not been edited after that date (view history) is likely to be outdated.}}

==General==
*[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/whats-new What's New in Diablo III]
**Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
**[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog Shared Stash] There is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold.
**[http://battle.net/d3/services/auction-house/ Auction House] Items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions.
**Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them.
**[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml Health] Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters.
**[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/pvp.xml PvP] Blizzard Poster Bashiok has indicated that PvP will be consensual in Diablo III:

<blockquote>{{M|=We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.
<br>
<br>
I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?
<br>
<br>
We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.
<br>
<br>
That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.}}</blockquote>

===Runestones===
Blizzard changed the way that runestones work with skills in Feb 2012: [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4475014/Skill_and_Rune_Changes-2_15_2012#blog Skill and Rune Changes Blog]

Runestones are no longer items that drop, rather they are skill modifications that will unlock at specific levels. See the skill sections of the class information for more details.

*[http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/crafting.xml Crafting]

Artisans can be 'leveled up' through Tome of Training (made from Page of Training, a dropped item) and Plans that are dropped items. They are account-wide (in beta). Artisans will be able to specialize in order to get better results with a specific weapon/armor type, but the information so far is that specializations are not exclusive, so that it should be possible to specialize in all of the types you would like.

==Followers==
*[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/followers.xml Followers]

Followers are similar to Diablo II [[Mercenary|mercenaries]]. Followers are only used in solo games. They will have storyline elements, but are designed not to 'outshine' the main characters.

Initially, Blizzard intended followers to be used in Normal difficulty only, but after feedback, they will be available for solo play in all difficulties.

{{Diablo III nav|Templar=}}
{{Intro}}
One of three available followers in the game as of the Diablo 3 Beta (patch 9), Kormac is a warrior of the templar order that wields a melee javelin and shield while fighting alongside the hero.

==Gameplay==
The Templar follower is acquired in the Catacombs level 3 as part of the Reign of the Black King quest in Act 1. Kormac follows the hero or party through the end of the level, where part of his backstory is resolved and he afterwards offers to join the player as a permanent follower.
As with other followers, the Templar is only available as a companion during solo gameplay.
<br>
<br>
==Skills==
The templar has eight skills arranged in exclusive pairs. The player gains the option to choose one skill from each pair for the Templar to use when the Templar reaches levels 5, 10, 15 and 20. The skill descriptions are based on a level 60 follower.

Diablo III

2012-04-07T06:15:43Z

Martini: /* Runestones */ updated with new rune system, link to blog

{{Diablo III nav}}
{{Intro}}
Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], the Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced June 28 2008 that Diablo III was in development. Beta was announced [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3542796/The_Diablo_III_Beta_Is_Now_Live-9_20_2011#blog 20 September 2011], and it was announced [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4612389/Diablo_III_Launching_May_15_%E2%80%93_Digital_Pre-Sales_NOW_OPEN-3_15_2012#blog 15 March 2012] that Diablo III would finally be released {{Ub|=15 May 2012}}.

{{Warn|=Any content which has not been edited after that date (view history) is likely to be outdated.}}

==General==
*[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/whats-new What's New in Diablo III]
**Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
**[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog Shared Stash] There is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold.
**[http://battle.net/d3/services/auction-house/ Auction House] Items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions.
**Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them.
**[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml Health] Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters.
**[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/pvp.xml PvP] Blizzard Poster Bashiok has indicated that PvP will be consensual in Diablo III:

<blockquote>{{M|=We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.
<br>
<br>
I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?
<br>
<br>
We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.
<br>
<br>
That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.}}</blockquote>

===Runestones===
Blizzard changed the way that runestones work with skills in Feb 2012: [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4475014/Skill_and_Rune_Changes-2_15_2012#blog]

Runestones are no longer items that drop, rather they are skill modifications that will unlock at specific levels. See the skill sections of the class information for more details.

Prior system: [http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/runestones.xml Runestones]

===Crafting (Artisans)===
*[http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/crafting.xml Crafting]
*[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3123249164 Crafting Thus Far]

Artisans can be 'leveled up' through Tome of Training (made from Page of Training, a dropped item) and Plans that are dropped items. They are account-wide (in beta). Artisans will be able to specialize in order to get better results with a specific weapon/armor type, but the information so far is that specializations are not exclusive, so that it should be possible to specialize in all of the types you would like.

*Blacksmith (repairs)
*Jeweler
*Mystic
<br>

==Followers==
*[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/followers.xml Followers]

Followers are similar to Diablo II [[Mercenary|mercenaries]]. However, Blizzard has stated that they will have limited utility later in the game, and will only be used in Normal difficulty. Followers are also only used in solo games. They will have storyline elements, but are designed not to 'outshine' the main characters.

*[[Templar (Diablo III)|Templar]]

==Quests==
From the FAQ, it appears that there will be storyline quests and class-based quests.

Wizard

The Wizard is the third character confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard. Wizards appear to have a very similar gameplay style to Diablo II's [[Sorceress]]: they are pure spellcasters. Wizards use Arcane Power, which is a fast-regenerating resource. Also, their "Signature" skills decrease in cost as the Wizard levels, eventually being free to cast.

Please use our [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/10-wizard/ Wizard] forum to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

==Theorycraft==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similar to the build section, use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

The Witch Doctor is one of the first two characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the second character in the [http://battle.net/d3/media/videos/?view#/gameplay gameplay] video. The Witch Doctor appears to have a similar gameplay style to Diablo II's [[Necromancer]], with some key differences. The Witch Doctor summons, casts spells, and can beef up the summoned pets with spells. Witch Doctors use mana.

The Monk is the fourth character confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, described as a combination of Diablo II's [[Assassin]] and World of Warcraft's [[Rogue]]. They use fast hand-to-hand combat, plus weaponry such as staffs and claw weapons. Fragile, yet very fast melee action. Monks use Spirit, which is generated by doing melee damage and the "Spirit Generation" skills. Spirit does not degrade like Fury, and is not generated by taking damage.

Hatred regenerates quickly and is used for damage skills. Discipline regenerates slowly and is used for the more tactical skills.

The Barbarian is one of the first two characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and he is the first character in the [http://battle.net/d3/media/videos/?view#/gameplay gameplay] video. The voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen. Barbarians use Fury as their resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time.

The Barbarian is one of the first two characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and he is the first character in the [http://battle.net/d3/media/videos/?view#/gameplay gameplay] video. The voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen. Barbarians use Fury as their resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time.

{{Intro}}
Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], The Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced on June 28, 2008 that they were developing Diablo III. There is currently no release date for this game. Please note, as no game has been released or is even in testing, none of this is known fact. But only semi-confirmed information should be included here.

If there is a conflict with the title of an existing page, choose a different title or add (Diablo III) to the end: <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo II)|]]</nowiki> will link to Diablo II's [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]], <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo III)|]]</nowiki> links to Diablo III's [[Barbarian (Diablo III)|Barbarian]].

Diablo III

2011-10-26T22:19:20Z

Martini: added link to blizz what's new page

{{Diablo III nav}}
{{Intro}}
Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], The Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced on June 28, 2008 that they were developing Diablo III. There is currently no release date for this game. Please note, as no game has been released or is even in testing, none of this is known fact. But only semi-confirmed information should be included here.

If there is a conflict with the title of an existing page, choose a different title or add (Diablo III) to the end: <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo II)|]]</nowiki> will link to Diablo II's [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]], <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo III)|]]</nowiki> links to Diablo III's [[Barbarian (Diablo III)|Barbarian]].

==General==
*Updated: [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/whats-new Blizzard what's new in D3 page] has a lot of the basic game details as listed below.
*Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
*[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog Shared Stash] There is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold.
*[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435571#blog Salvaging Items] Characters will be able to convert items in the field to gold or crafting mats via the Cauldron of Jordan or Nephalem Cube.
*[http://battle.net/d3/services/auction-house/ Auction House] Items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions.
*[http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=85046&view=findpost&p=941373 Stone of Recall] The new town portals, will be a space on the inventory screen, but other players cannot use your portal, only the player who cast. Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them.
*[http://blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml Health] Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters.

Barbarian (Diablo III)

2011-09-24T15:17:08Z

Martini: /* Skills */ formatting

The Barbarian is one of the first 2 characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the first character in the gameplay video.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The gameplay video voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen.

Barbarians use Fury as their Resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Barbarian forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/6-barbarian/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
The Barbarian character is apparantly the same character as the D2 Barbarian, so he likely comes from the Mount Arreat region originally. No word yet on what he's been doing for the last 20 years.

''In my journey to catalogue the various denizens, civilizations, and fauna of our world, I have traveled far and wide, but never before have I been struck with such dismay as when standing upon the ramparts of the ancient fortress of Bastion's Keep. I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.''

''Instead, I stand here looking at a mountain that has been torn asunder by some extraordinary force. The sight, I must confess, is incomprehensible. Yet what I see before me cannot be denied.''

''What truly happened here? Where are those majestic warriors of old?''

''Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honor for all eternity.''

''If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumors of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Martini: added item site link

{{Intro}}
Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], The Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced on June 28, 2008 that they were developing Diablo III. There is currently no release date for this game. Please note, as no game has been released or is even in testing, none of this is known fact. But only semi-confirmed information should be included here.

*All new pages should be put in the [[:Category:Diablo III|Diablo III]] category by typing <nowiki>[[Category:Diablo III]]</nowiki>.
*If there is a conflict with the title of an existing page, choose a different title or add (Diablo III) to the end: <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo II)|]]</nowiki> will link to Diablo II's [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]], <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo III)|]]</nowiki> links to Diablo III's [[Barbarian (Diablo III)|Barbarian]].

*[[Demon Hunter]]
*[[Monk]]
*[[Witch Doctor]]
*[[Wizard]]
<br>

Skill Calculator for all classes: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/

==Followers==
Followers are similar to D2 Mercenaries. However, Blizzard has stated that they will have limited utility later in the game, and will only be used in Normal difficulty. Followers are also only used in solo games. They will have storyline elements, but are designed not to 'outshine' the main characters.

*[[Enchantress]]
*[[Scoundrel]]
*[[Templar (Diablo III)|Templar]]

==General Gameplay==
Some general information about gameplay:

*Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
*Shared Stash: there is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog
*Item selling: characters will be able to convert items in the field to gold or crafting mats via the Cauldron of Jordan or Nephalem Cube: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435571#blog
*Auction House: items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/auction-house/
*Stone of Recall: the new town portals, will be a space on the inventory screen, but other players cannot use your portal, only the player who cast. Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=85046&view=findpost&p=941373
*Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters: http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml

==Items==
Note: we'll likely only be keeping info about general item information, rather than individual items.

Blizzard's item page: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/

===Runes===
Runes come in 5 colours, and each colour will come in multiple ranks. The ranks are shown by the small diamonds around the edge of the rune. Runes are 'socketed' into a character's spells, and each rune has a different effect on each spell. See the Class pages for more details on the rune effects.

===Crafting (Artisans)===

Artisans can be 'leveled up' through Tome of Training (made from Page of Training, a dropped item) and Plans that are dropped items. They are account-wide (in beta). Artisans will be able to specialize in order to get better results with a specific weapon/armor type, but the information so far is that specializations are not exclusive, so that it should be possible to specialize in all of the types you would like.

==PvP/Player Killing==

Blizzard Poster Bashiok has indicated that PvP will be consensual in D3. As posted in the official D3 forums:

<blockquote><span style=color:steelblue>We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.</span></blockquote>

==PvP/Player Killing==

Blizzard Poster Bashiok has indicated that PvP will be consensual in D3. As posted in the official D3 forums:

<blockquote><span style=color:steelblue>We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.</span></blockquote>

Monk

2011-09-19T05:18:43Z

Martini: typo

The Monk is the 4th character confirmed to be in the game D3 by Blizzard.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Monk was described by Blizzard as a combination of the D2 Assassin and the WoW Rogue. It uses fast hand to hand combat, plus weaponry such as staffs and claw weapons. Fragile, yet very fast melee action.

Resource system: Monks use Spirit, which is generated by doing melee damage and the "Spirit Generation" skills. Spirit does not degrade like Fury, and is not generated by taking damage. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Monk forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/8-monk/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Witch Doctor

2011-09-19T05:18:22Z

Martini: moved build section, added theorycrafting section

The Witch Doctor is one of the first 2 characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the second character in the gameplay video.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Witch Doctor appears to follow a similar gameplay style as Diablo II's [[Necromancer]], with some key differences. The Witch Doctor summons, casts spells, and can beef up the summoned pets with spells.

Resource system: Witch Doctors use mana. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Witch Doctor forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/9-witch-doctor/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
''Most believe the fearsome witch doctor of the umbaru race a legend, but I have seen one in battle with my own eyes. And it was difficult to believe, even then. He dispatched his opponent with terrifying precision, assaulting his victim's mind and body with elixirs and powders that evoked fires, explosions, and poisonous spirits. As if these assaults were not enough, the witch doctor also had at his command the ability to summon undead creatures from the netherworld to rend the flesh from his enemy's body.''

''I came upon this rare display as I ventured deep into the interior of the dense Torajan jungles that cover the southern tip of the great eastern continent, in the vast area known as the Teganze, with the goal of seeking out the tribes that reside there. This area is extremely secluded, and heretofore unseen by foreign eyes. I was fortunate to befriend the witch doctor I saw in battle, and, through him, his tribe: the Tribe of the Five Hills.''

''The culture of the umbaru of the lower Teganze is fascinating and perplexing to those hailing from more civilized walks of life. For instance, the Tribe of the Five Hills frequently engages in tribal warfare with both the Clan of the Seven Stones and the Tribe of the Clouded Valley, but these are matters of ritual and not of conquest. I had heard tales that these wars are waged in order that the victors may replenish their supply of raw materials for the human sacrifices that their civilization revolves around, and when I timidly asked my hosts more about this topic, I must admit their laughter made me fear for my safety. However, through stumbled attempts at communication of such complex topics as what constitutes heroism and honor in their society, I gathered that only those taken in battle are considered worthy of the ritual sacrifice, much to my relief.''

''Upon further discussions with my hosts, I discovered that these tribes define themselves by their belief in the Mbwiru Eikura, which roughly translates to "The Unformed Land" (this is an imprecise translation, as this concept is completely foreign to our culture and language). This belief holds that the true, sacred reality is veiled behind the physical one we normally experience. Their vitally important public ceremonies are centered upon sacrifices to the life force that flows from their gods, who inhabit the Unformed Land, into this lesser physical realm.''

''The witch doctors are finely attuned to this Unformed Land and are able to train their minds to perceive this reality through a combination of rituals and the use of selected roots and herbs found in the jungles. They call the state in which they interact with this other world the Ghost Trance.''

''Alongside the primacy of the belief in the life force and the Unformed Land, the second most sacred belief of the tribes is their philosophy of self-sacrifice and non-individuality, of suppressing one's self-interest for the good of the tribe. This idea, so foreign to our culture, struck me as something I wished to delve into much more deeply.''

''Unfortunately, there was intense social upheaval among the tribes due to an incident involving their most current war (inasmuch as I could discern in the ensuing bedlam), and the charged atmosphere warranted my quick departure before I could ask anything further of my hosts.

Monk

2011-09-19T05:17:00Z

Martini: moved build section, added theorycrafting section

The Monk is the 4th character confirmed to be in the game D3 by Blizzard.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Monk was described by Blizzard as a combination of the D2 Assassin and the WoW Rogue. It uses fast hand to hand combat, plus weaponry such as staffs and claw weapons. Fragile, yet very fast melee action.

Resource system: Monks use Spirit, which is generated by doing melee damage and the "Spirit Generation" skills. Spirit does not degrade like Fury, and is not generated by taking damage. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Barbarian forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/8-monk/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Barbarian (Diablo III)

2011-09-19T05:14:42Z

Martini: delete old builds section

The Barbarian is one of the first 2 characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the first character in the gameplay video.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The gameplay video voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen.

Barbarians use Fury as their Resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Barbarian forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/6-barbarian/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
The Barbarian character is apparantly the same character as the D2 Barbarian, so he likely comes from the Mount Arreat region originally. No word yet on what he's been doing for the last 20 years.

''In my journey to catalogue the various denizens, civilizations, and fauna of our world, I have traveled far and wide, but never before have I been struck with such dismay as when standing upon the ramparts of the ancient fortress of Bastion's Keep. I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.''

''Instead, I stand here looking at a mountain that has been torn asunder by some extraordinary force. The sight, I must confess, is incomprehensible. Yet what I see before me cannot be denied.''

''What truly happened here? Where are those majestic warriors of old?''

''Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honor for all eternity.''

''If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumors of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Barbarian (Diablo III)

2011-09-19T05:14:07Z

Martini: moved build section, added theorycrafting section

The Barbarian is one of the first 2 characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the first character in the gameplay video.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The gameplay video voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen.

Barbarians use Fury as their Resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Barbarian forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/6-barbarian/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
The Barbarian character is apparantly the same character as the D2 Barbarian, so he likely comes from the Mount Arreat region originally. No word yet on what he's been doing for the last 20 years.

''In my journey to catalogue the various denizens, civilizations, and fauna of our world, I have traveled far and wide, but never before have I been struck with such dismay as when standing upon the ramparts of the ancient fortress of Bastion's Keep. I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.''

''Instead, I stand here looking at a mountain that has been torn asunder by some extraordinary force. The sight, I must confess, is incomprehensible. Yet what I see before me cannot be denied.''

''What truly happened here? Where are those majestic warriors of old?''

''Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honor for all eternity.''

''If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumors of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Wizard

2011-09-19T05:12:32Z

Martini: moved build section, added theorycrafting section

The Wizard is the 3rd character confirmed to be in the game D3 by Blizzard.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Wizard appears to follow a very similar gameplay style as Diablo II's [[Sorceress]]. It's a pure spellcaster.

Resource system: Wizards use Arcane Power, which is a fast-regenerating resource. Also, their "Signature" skills decrease in cost as the Wizard levels, eventually being free to cast. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Builds and Guides==
Please use the forums to hash out the details of any builds. Once a build is theorycrafted and tested, please feel free to post it here. Ideally, build posts would include significant commentary about the skills used, choices made, etc.

Basin Wizard forum: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d3/forums/index.php?/forum/10-wizard/

==Theorycrafting==
Please post any class-specific theory that isn't included in Blizzard's documentation. Similarly to the build section, please use the forums for the preliminary discussion, and post here once the details are known and agreed-upon.

==Lore==
''Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.''

''Recently the youth of Caldeum have fallen prey to the overblown stories of just such a delinquent wizard. That is correct: I used the uncouth term wizard, not sorcerer. It seems that even the title of a civilized magic wielder is too restrictive for this young upstart. Through my contacts at the Yshari Sanctum of the mage clans, I am one of the few who actually know the truth behind the rumors now sweeping our streets regarding this hellion who flaunts her magic irresponsibly.''

''This wizard was sent here to spend her formative years under the tutelage of the best mages in the world. Well, it seems they neglected to teach our wizard manners on her native island of Xiansai, for she was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning. Originally under the guidance of the Zann Esu mage clan, she was eventually handed over to the Vizjerei in the hopes that their strict and unbending discipline would break her anarchic spirit. Yet even the esteemed Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in. She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics, heedless of the consequences to herself or anyone around her.''

''Although there is no truth to the tales that she actually ventured into the infamous Bitter Depths below the Sanctum, she was caught in the Ancient Repositories, where the most dangerous incantations are housed for the safety of the public. When confronted by the great Vizjerei mage Valthek and demanded to account for herself, she brazenly attacked him rather than face the punishment merited by her acts. Exaggerated stories of the battle are already being inflated to mythic proportions by the more rebellious of our city's youth, but suffice it to say that she did not actually best Yshari's most powerful mage in single, honorable combat. The details of the encounter remain unclear, as Valthek has yet to regain consciousness, but it has been verified by reliable sources that she relied on trickery and deceit to bring the great man low. I have also been assured that the extensive property damage was chiefly the result of Valthek's magical prowess, not the upstart wizard's. As to where she is now, no one rightly knows, for she fled the city immediately after the encounter.''

''It is not my goal to alarm, but I find this situation disturbing. We now have a rebellious wizard, young and inexperienced, wandering the world, dabbling in powerful magics she does not understand. Those wiser than you or I determined long ago that certain schools of magic were too dangerous and forbade their practice. It is those magics that this wizard seems determined to explore – magics centered on manipulating the primal forces from which reality is constructed. Imagine, a headstrong nineteen-year-old youth, able to warp time itself to her will! The thought is truly terrifying. It is my honest hope that this self-styled wizard chooses never to return to Caldeum.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

==Lore==
''Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.''

''Recently the youth of Caldeum have fallen prey to the overblown stories of just such a delinquent wizard. That is correct: I used the uncouth term wizard, not sorcerer. It seems that even the title of a civilized magic wielder is too restrictive for this young upstart. Through my contacts at the Yshari Sanctum of the mage clans, I am one of the few who actually know the truth behind the rumors now sweeping our streets regarding this hellion who flaunts her magic irresponsibly.''

''This wizard was sent here to spend her formative years under the tutelage of the best mages in the world. Well, it seems they neglected to teach our wizard manners on her native island of Xiansai, for she was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning. Originally under the guidance of the Zann Esu mage clan, she was eventually handed over to the Vizjerei in the hopes that their strict and unbending discipline would break her anarchic spirit. Yet even the esteemed Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in. She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics, heedless of the consequences to herself or anyone around her.''

''Although there is no truth to the tales that she actually ventured into the infamous Bitter Depths below the Sanctum, she was caught in the Ancient Repositories, where the most dangerous incantations are housed for the safety of the public. When confronted by the great Vizjerei mage Valthek and demanded to account for herself, she brazenly attacked him rather than face the punishment merited by her acts. Exaggerated stories of the battle are already being inflated to mythic proportions by the more rebellious of our city's youth, but suffice it to say that she did not actually best Yshari's most powerful mage in single, honorable combat. The details of the encounter remain unclear, as Valthek has yet to regain consciousness, but it has been verified by reliable sources that she relied on trickery and deceit to bring the great man low. I have also been assured that the extensive property damage was chiefly the result of Valthek's magical prowess, not the upstart wizard's. As to where she is now, no one rightly knows, for she fled the city immediately after the encounter.''

''It is not my goal to alarm, but I find this situation disturbing. We now have a rebellious wizard, young and inexperienced, wandering the world, dabbling in powerful magics she does not understand. Those wiser than you or I determined long ago that certain schools of magic were too dangerous and forbade their practice. It is those magics that this wizard seems determined to explore – magics centered on manipulating the primal forces from which reality is constructed. Imagine, a headstrong nineteen-year-old youth, able to warp time itself to her will! The thought is truly terrifying. It is my honest hope that this self-styled wizard chooses never to return to Caldeum.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

The Wizard is the 3rd character confirmed to be in the game D3 by Blizzard.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Wizard appears to follow a very similar gameplay style as Diablo II's [[Sorceress]]. It's a pure spellcaster.

Resource system: Wizards use Arcane Power, which is a fast-regenerating resource. Also, their "Signature" skills decrease in cost as the Wizard levels, eventually being free to cast. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

''Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.''

''Recently the youth of Caldeum have fallen prey to the overblown stories of just such a delinquent wizard. That is correct: I used the uncouth term wizard, not sorcerer. It seems that even the title of a civilized magic wielder is too restrictive for this young upstart. Through my contacts at the Yshari Sanctum of the mage clans, I am one of the few who actually know the truth behind the rumors now sweeping our streets regarding this hellion who flaunts her magic irresponsibly.''

''This wizard was sent here to spend her formative years under the tutelage of the best mages in the world. Well, it seems they neglected to teach our wizard manners on her native island of Xiansai, for she was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning. Originally under the guidance of the Zann Esu mage clan, she was eventually handed over to the Vizjerei in the hopes that their strict and unbending discipline would break her anarchic spirit. Yet even the esteemed Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in. She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics, heedless of the consequences to herself or anyone around her.''

''Although there is no truth to the tales that she actually ventured into the infamous Bitter Depths below the Sanctum, she was caught in the Ancient Repositories, where the most dangerous incantations are housed for the safety of the public. When confronted by the great Vizjerei mage Valthek and demanded to account for herself, she brazenly attacked him rather than face the punishment merited by her acts. Exaggerated stories of the battle are already being inflated to mythic proportions by the more rebellious of our city's youth, but suffice it to say that she did not actually best Yshari's most powerful mage in single, honorable combat. The details of the encounter remain unclear, as Valthek has yet to regain consciousness, but it has been verified by reliable sources that she relied on trickery and deceit to bring the great man low. I have also been assured that the extensive property damage was chiefly the result of Valthek's magical prowess, not the upstart wizard's. As to where she is now, no one rightly knows, for she fled the city immediately after the encounter.''

''It is not my goal to alarm, but I find this situation disturbing. We now have a rebellious wizard, young and inexperienced, wandering the world, dabbling in powerful magics she does not understand. Those wiser than you or I determined long ago that certain schools of magic were too dangerous and forbade their practice. It is those magics that this wizard seems determined to explore – magics centered on manipulating the primal forces from which reality is constructed. Imagine, a headstrong nineteen-year-old youth, able to warp time itself to her will! The thought is truly terrifying. It is my honest hope that this self-styled wizard chooses never to return to Caldeum.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

==Lore==
''Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.''

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Martini: /* Gameplay */ resource info

The Monk is the 4th character confirmed to be in the game D3 by Blizzard.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The Monk was described by Blizzard as a combination of the D2 Assassin and the WoW Rogue. It uses fast hand to hand combat, plus weaponry such as staffs and claw weapons. Fragile, yet very fast melee action.

Resource system: Monks use Spirit, which is generated by doing melee damage and the "Spirit Generation" skills. Spirit does not degrade like Fury, and is not generated by taking damage. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Barbarian (Diablo III)

2011-09-19T02:18:32Z

Martini: /* Skills */ adding titles to skill section

The Barbarian is one of the first 2 characters confirmed to be in the game by Blizzard, and is the first character in the gameplay video.

__TOC__

==Gameplay==
The gameplay video voiceover states that the Barbarian "overcomes his enemies with pure brute force". He engages in melee combat mostly, but some old Barbarian skills like Leap and Whirlwind are also seen.

Barbarians use Fury as their Resource. Fury is gained when dealing or taken damage, and decays over time. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3390853

==Lore==
The Barbarian character is apparantly the same character as the D2 Barbarian, so he likely comes from the Mount Arreat region originally. No word yet on what he's been doing for the last 20 years.

''In my journey to catalogue the various denizens, civilizations, and fauna of our world, I have traveled far and wide, but never before have I been struck with such dismay as when standing upon the ramparts of the ancient fortress of Bastion's Keep. I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.''

''Instead, I stand here looking at a mountain that has been torn asunder by some extraordinary force. The sight, I must confess, is incomprehensible. Yet what I see before me cannot be denied.''

''What truly happened here? Where are those majestic warriors of old?''

''Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honor for all eternity.''

''If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumors of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

==Lore==
''Most believe the fearsome witch doctor of the umbaru race a legend, but I have seen one in battle with my own eyes. And it was difficult to believe, even then. He dispatched his opponent with terrifying precision, assaulting his victim's mind and body with elixirs and powders that evoked fires, explosions, and poisonous spirits. As if these assaults were not enough, the witch doctor also had at his command the ability to summon undead creatures from the netherworld to rend the flesh from his enemy's body.''

''I came upon this rare display as I ventured deep into the interior of the dense Torajan jungles that cover the southern tip of the great eastern continent, in the vast area known as the Teganze, with the goal of seeking out the tribes that reside there. This area is extremely secluded, and heretofore unseen by foreign eyes. I was fortunate to befriend the witch doctor I saw in battle, and, through him, his tribe: the Tribe of the Five Hills.''

''The culture of the umbaru of the lower Teganze is fascinating and perplexing to those hailing from more civilized walks of life. For instance, the Tribe of the Five Hills frequently engages in tribal warfare with both the Clan of the Seven Stones and the Tribe of the Clouded Valley, but these are matters of ritual and not of conquest. I had heard tales that these wars are waged in order that the victors may replenish their supply of raw materials for the human sacrifices that their civilization revolves around, and when I timidly asked my hosts more about this topic, I must admit their laughter made me fear for my safety. However, through stumbled attempts at communication of such complex topics as what constitutes heroism and honor in their society, I gathered that only those taken in battle are considered worthy of the ritual sacrifice, much to my relief.''

''Upon further discussions with my hosts, I discovered that these tribes define themselves by their belief in the Mbwiru Eikura, which roughly translates to "The Unformed Land" (this is an imprecise translation, as this concept is completely foreign to our culture and language). This belief holds that the true, sacred reality is veiled behind the physical one we normally experience. Their vitally important public ceremonies are centered upon sacrifices to the life force that flows from their gods, who inhabit the Unformed Land, into this lesser physical realm.''

''The witch doctors are finely attuned to this Unformed Land and are able to train their minds to perceive this reality through a combination of rituals and the use of selected roots and herbs found in the jungles. They call the state in which they interact with this other world the Ghost Trance.''

''Alongside the primacy of the belief in the life force and the Unformed Land, the second most sacred belief of the tribes is their philosophy of self-sacrifice and non-individuality, of suppressing one's self-interest for the good of the tribe. This idea, so foreign to our culture, struck me as something I wished to delve into much more deeply.''

''Unfortunately, there was intense social upheaval among the tribes due to an incident involving their most current war (inasmuch as I could discern in the ensuing bedlam), and the charged atmosphere warranted my quick departure before I could ask anything further of my hosts.

==Lore==
''Most believe the fearsome witch doctor of the umbaru race a legend, but I have seen one in battle with my own eyes. And it was difficult to believe, even then. He dispatched his opponent with terrifying precision, assaulting his victim's mind and body with elixirs and powders that evoked fires, explosions, and poisonous spirits. As if these assaults were not enough, the witch doctor also had at his command the ability to summon undead creatures from the netherworld to rend the flesh from his enemy's body.''

''I came upon this rare display as I ventured deep into the interior of the dense Torajan jungles that cover the southern tip of the great eastern continent, in the vast area known as the Teganze, with the goal of seeking out the tribes that reside there. This area is extremely secluded, and heretofore unseen by foreign eyes. I was fortunate to befriend the witch doctor I saw in battle, and, through him, his tribe: the Tribe of the Five Hills.''

''The culture of the umbaru of the lower Teganze is fascinating and perplexing to those hailing from more civilized walks of life. For instance, the Tribe of the Five Hills frequently engages in tribal warfare with both the Clan of the Seven Stones and the Tribe of the Clouded Valley, but these are matters of ritual and not of conquest. I had heard tales that these wars are waged in order that the victors may replenish their supply of raw materials for the human sacrifices that their civilization revolves around, and when I timidly asked my hosts more about this topic, I must admit their laughter made me fear for my safety. However, through stumbled attempts at communication of such complex topics as what constitutes heroism and honor in their society, I gathered that only those taken in battle are considered worthy of the ritual sacrifice, much to my relief.''

''Upon further discussions with my hosts, I discovered that these tribes define themselves by their belief in the Mbwiru Eikura, which roughly translates to "The Unformed Land" (this is an imprecise translation, as this concept is completely foreign to our culture and language). This belief holds that the true, sacred reality is veiled behind the physical one we normally experience. Their vitally important public ceremonies are centered upon sacrifices to the life force that flows from their gods, who inhabit the Unformed Land, into this lesser physical realm.''

''The witch doctors are finely attuned to this Unformed Land and are able to train their minds to perceive this reality through a combination of rituals and the use of selected roots and herbs found in the jungles. They call the state in which they interact with this other world the Ghost Trance.''

''Alongside the primacy of the belief in the life force and the Unformed Land, the second most sacred belief of the tribes is their philosophy of self-sacrifice and non-individuality, of suppressing one's self-interest for the good of the tribe. This idea, so foreign to our culture, struck me as something I wished to delve into much more deeply.''

''Unfortunately, there was intense social upheaval among the tribes due to an incident involving their most current war (inasmuch as I could discern in the ensuing bedlam), and the charged atmosphere warranted my quick departure before I could ask anything further of my hosts.

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

===Mantras===

==Builds and Guides==
None yet.

==Lore==
''The last weeks of autumn had settled upon Ivgorod, and the first breath of winter had crept into the air. As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, I was all too grateful to take refuge in a tavern. As I entered, I noted a certain tension in the room. Despite the hour, it was not busy, with only scattered, small groups huddled at the tables around the edges of the room. The benches at the center of the room were empty except for one man. ''

''The man seemed ignorant of the cold. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing little more than an orange sheet wound around his body, leaving half of his chest exposed. A garland of large wooden beads hung around his thick neck. His head was completely shaved, with the exception of a wild bushy beard. Then, recognition struck me: upon his forehead he had a tattoo of two red dots, one larger than the other. As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.''

''I had heard countless fantastic stories about the monks, tales that were surely the beneficiary of significant embellishment. The monks’ skin, the accounts said, was as hard as iron, impenetrable by the blade of any sword or by the point of any arrow, and their fists could break stone as easily as you or I would snap a twig. Though the unassuming man before me seemed miles away from what I had heard and read of the monks, I approached cautiously, sliding down onto the bench across from him, eager to take his measure. He beckoned me forward with a small wave of his hand.''

''"Ah, a soul brave enough to sit with me. Come, friend."''

''Food was placed before me, but I had little hunger for it, focusing instead on recording the details of the monk's life. He told me of his belief in the existence of a thousand and one gods, gods he believed could be found in all things: the fire in the hearth, the water in the river and the air that we breathed. Pretty enough for a story, perhaps. But any reasoned individual must surely, as I did, scoff at such a view of the world as little more than superstition. He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."''

''Most unexpectedly, I would be treated to a display of this mastery.''

''A group of men approached our table, knocking my book to the floor and shoving me out of the way, producing knives and other weapons as they advanced. They were focused only on the solitary figure of the monk seated across from me. I scrabbled beneath the table, having an inkling of what was to come. I watched as at some unseen signal, they attacked.''

''Without rising from his seat, the monk met the first man's lunging slash, grabbing his wrist and tossing him carelessly over his shoulder, throwing him into a table with a loud crash. The suddenness of the monk's attack momentarily stunned the men, and as they stood there, he rose.''

''That was when chaos broke out.''

''The monk was a fluid mass of restrained energy, meeting every attack with hardly a moment's distress. He fought with hands and feet in a way I had never seen before. In my days, I have witnessed my share of drunken bar brawls, but this was something else altogether. The sound of bones crunching with each of his strikes mixed with something I could not quite believe: the monk was laughing as he fought. One by one, he dispatched his foes until only one remained.
That one picked up a chair and hurled it toward the monk. The monk swung his arm forward and struck the incoming projectile, meeting the solid oak of the chair with his closed fist. The wood broke apart, splinters filling the air as the shattered pieces of the stool fell harmlessly to the ground around him.''

''"You don't fool me, demon," the monk spat. He pulled his arms back to his sides, then extended his hands before him and began to chant. A nimbus of white light appeared around his head, growing larger and more intense until it completely encompassed the monk’s body. He roared, and the light blew outward. As it washed over the other man, his skin peeled away, revealing a red-skinned demon beneath and threw the creature through the front doors of the tavern. ''

''The monk hurtled forward, but his individual movements were too fast for my eyes to track. It seemed as though there were seven of him raining blows upon the demon from every side. Staggered, the demon stumbled. The monk grabbed the demon by the neck, grinning as he pulled his free arm back, crackling energy glowing on his open hand. He shoved his palm forward, and when it struck the demon, its body exploded: muscle, skin and bones tore apart, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. ''

''I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own two eyes. It seems the stories of these peerless warriors might not have been as exaggerated as I first thought.'' - [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3 www.blizzard.com/diablo3]

Welcome to the Unofficial Diablo III Basin Wiki!

Starting with [[Diablo II]], The Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced on June 28, 2008 that they were developing Diablo III. There is currently no release date for this game. Please note, as no game has been released or is even in testing, none of this is known fact. But only semi-confirmed information should be included here.

*All new pages should be put in the [[:Category:Diablo III|Diablo III]] category by typing <nowiki>[[Category:Diablo III]]</nowiki>.
*If there is a conflict with the title of an existing page, choose a different title or add (Diablo III) to the end: <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo II)|]]</nowiki> will link to Diablo II's [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]], <nowiki>[[Barbarian (Diablo III)|]]</nowiki> links to Diablo III's [[Barbarian (Diablo III)|Barbarian]].

==Followers==
Followers are similar to D2 Mercenaries. However, Blizzard has stated that they will have limited utility later in the game, and will only be used in Normal difficulty. Followers are also only used in solo games. They will have storyline elements, but are designed not to 'outshine' the main characters.

*[[Templar]]

http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/followers.xml

==General Gameplay==
Some general information about gameplay:

*Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
*Shared Stash: there is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog
*Item selling: characters will be able to convert items in the field to gold or crafting mats via the Cauldron of Jordan or Nephalem Cube: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435571#blog
*Auction House: items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/auction-house/
*Stone of Recall: the new town portals, will be a space on the inventory screen, but other players cannot use your portal, only the player who cast. Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=85046&view=findpost&p=941373
*Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters: http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml

==Items==
Note: we'll likely only be keeping info about general item information, rather than individual items.

===Runes===
Runes come in 5 colours, and each colour will come in multiple ranks. The ranks are shown by the small diamonds around the edge of the rune. Runes are 'socketed' into a character's spells, and each rune has a different effect on each spell. See the Class pages for more details on the rune effects.

Starting with [[Diablo II]], The Amazon Basin has built up and around the Diablo series, eventually branching out to the many guilds it supports today. With the amount of interest in the title, it seems likely that the Basin will strive to provide a safe, friendly, fun place to game with and meet other like-minded gamers in Diablo III.

Blizzard announced on June 28, 2008 that they were developing Diablo III. There is currently no release date for this game. Please note, as no game has been released or is even in testing, none of this is known fact. But only semi-confirmed information should be included here.

==Followers==
Followers are similar to D2 Mercenaries. However, Blizzard has stated that they will have limited utility later in the game, and will only be used in Normal difficulty. Followers are also only used in solo games. They will have storyline elements, but are designed not to 'outshine' the main characters.

*[[Enchantress]]
*[[Scoundrel]]
*[[Templar]]

==General Gameplay==
Some general information about gameplay:

*Four difficulty levels, with 4 acts each: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno. Inferno difficulty is for level-capped chars, the difficulty is uniform in each act in this difficulty and it's meant to give capped characters areas to play that will give good loot drops without having to resort to just boss runs.
*Shared Stash: there is a stash shared among all characters on an account, accessible in town and expandable with gold. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435570#blog
*Item selling: characters will be able to convert items in the field to gold or crafting mats via the Cauldron of Jordan or Nephalem Cube: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3435571#blog
*Auction House: items will be able to be traded between accounts on the Auction House. Softcore characters can trade items for gold or real money, whereas Hardcore characters are limited to gold transactions. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/auction-house/
*Stone of Recall: the new town portals, will be a space on the inventory screen, but other players cannot use your portal, only the player who cast. Other players in your party can port to your location via a banner in town that you can click to join them. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=85046&view=findpost&p=941373
*Health Globes are the main way of recovering health during battle, and will drop from slain monsters: http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/health.xml

==Items==
Note: we'll likely only be keeping info about general item information, rather than individual items.

===Runes===
Runes come in 5 colours, and each colour will come in multiple ranks. The ranks are shown by the small diamonds around the edge of the rune. Runes are 'socketed' into a character's spells, and each rune has a different effect on each spell. See the Class pages for more details on the rune effects.

==PvP/Player Killing==

Blizzard Poster Bashiok has indicated that PvP will be consensual in D3. As posted in the official D3 forums:

<blockquote><span style=color:steelblue>We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.</span>

<span style=color:steelblue>That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.</span></blockquote>

Martini:

I'm not sure how profitable it is to try and keep lists or pages for all mobs that you might fight in the game. Likely there will be sites that read info directly from the game for this information.--[[User:Martini|Martini]] 15:19, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
