Skill organisation

Nice skill overview updates you made! I'm planning to make each skill into an individual page in the not too distant future. We need to make a good "boilerplate" for them.

Do you know what a wiki template is? I was thinking of making one template for each spell, and then simply link them back to the main skill page, meaning we'd have:

• Class skill article
• Class Specific Skill Tree article
• Skill article (one for each skill)

...and all this without being too much work. Please help me figure out how to do this. --Leord 12:01, 19 November 2008 (CET)

I have not worked with Wiki templates yet, but i have seen such beiing used here already. This would be interesting indeed. The boilerplate concept is quite much of a must :) Sorry if i am slow in response, but work has been hard in the last days. I saw with Teleport, that you have already started with single skill pages. Now what can be done by my to help out here. I have to get a grasp of the wiki template thingy first, which should not be a problem. I am also willing to start filling those skill pages :) --Melianor 21:51, 26 November 2008 (CET)

Notes by Leord

Unlike the skill trees in Diablo II, the trees in Diablo III are not focused on just one aspect of a character. All known D3 skill trees have a wide variety of skills, with more passive than active, and all allow for a variety of play styles. --Leord 11:50, 27 August 2009 (CEST)

All active skills in the BlizzCon 2008 build were capped at 1 rank ("skill levels" in D2), while most passives went up to 15 points. This has since changed as both active and passive skills now allow 5 points, in most cases. --Leord 11:56, 27 August 2009 (CEST)

• Tier 2 Skills

These skills were available for use once a Barbarian reaches level 5. There is no requirement that he invest 5 skill points in this tree before using them, as some early Blizzcon reports erroneously stated.

• Tier 3 Skills

These skills were available for use for any Barbarian who is level 10+, and has placed at least 10 points in other skills in the Berserker skill tree.

• Tier 4 Skills

These skills are available for use once a Barbarian reaches level 15+, and has spent at least 15 points in the Berserker skill tree.

• Tier 5 Skills

There was a space for these in the Blizzcon build, but no skill icons were found on that line. There will surely be some in the final game, or else existing skills will be redistributed so some occupy higher level tiers on the skill tree. --Leord 12:11, 27 August 2009 (CEST)
