What's New?
First off, the area pages mentioned in the previous edition are underway, albeit slowly (in essense, the overworld and hell levels of Act V have been completed in these two weeks). Now, being the efficient editor that I am, I usually do pages like these in batches. So a few days ago I worked on all the ice cave pages simultaneously. Now sitting on Firefox, this means having a lot of tabs open at the same time, and I developed a false sense of security. You start to think "hey, no worries if I accidentally close a tab, I can just undo it and retrieve all of the information I'd added before saving the page!"
Not so however when you accidentally close the entire program. Which happened just after saving the
Crystalline Passage, but unfortunately before any other were saved. But fear not, for I shall ardently remake those pages again, even though they were almost done the first time around.Other than my own meager contributions this week, we've had some other advancements. Our own Don Guillotine of the News Team has been very active in all fields these last few weeks, including a little in the wiki. He did some structural and factual edits on the Diablo III Monster pages as well as the
Barbarian and Witch Doctor pages, adding extensive new trait lists to the latter two..gif)
Fangskin. I agree, not the most massive contribution to data, but at the very least it means no one else will have to do it later on, which is always a positive thing. Hopefully it will also make him feel terribly bad about himself and jump straight back into the wiki regardless of any other work he has to do in the so-called "real life" 
I'd also like to take this time to showcase the latest bot we've had in the wiki. Say hello to Omotesoni, which seems to have uploaded an image that strangely enough redirects you to some loans site. I continue to wonder why these things keep popping up when our stalwart defender Zhuge always slams down on them within the hour. It probably just goes to show you how cheap it is to screw with people over the Internet nowadays.
Article Spotlight
Breakpoints (Diablo II) as well. It includes comprehensive lists of Faster Block Rate, Faster Hit Recovery and Faster Cast Rate for all classes and mercenaries, and allows you to easily see how much of each stat one needs in order to shave off that extra frame from the character animation. Priceless when optimizing gear setups, and for realizing that you cannot actually reach a Faster Hit Recovery time of 3 frames for the amazon, as it requires a staggering 600% of FHR.Unfortunately it does not have lists of Increased Attack Speed, mostly due to the fact that this specific stat is much harder to easily condense into one table.
What's Next?
I'd like to put something else here from last week, but truth be told we still have to finish up the same things since then. So in short areas, superuniques, Diablo I images and quests for Diablo I still need doing.
