It's good, but I would suggest using less acronyms. Not only would it make your article seem more impressive, but many players may not know all of those acronyms, and since the Wiki is designed for anyone to learn from, that writing style, in my opinion, is not conducive to learning.
Personally, I think it could use heaps of more text. I mean, if you're writing a guide, you're doing it for someone who doesn't know everything about the game (otherwise they wouldn't need to read it).
More text for god sake. Why the auras? Why the items? Why are they better than other items? How about development? When does the character become fluent, and when does it start to shine? Is it gear dependant? Can it run on sub-par gear? What is it good at ? What are its weaknesses? Those are all questions a solid guide answer in my opinion.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

agreed your guide needs more detailed info and explanations. Even the title for example... some noobs will ask what is pvm?, pvp? what the hell is an hdin?
Basically whenever you write a guide to something, you want to write it as if your reading audience will be mostly autistic children.
Otherwise, the title should read "advanced guide" somewhere.
It needs everything it can get. We want it to become the most authoritative compendium of Diablo information next to Blizzard, itself. If it isn't already there, put it there. Just make sure to format your information nicely, explain all acronyms well, use good grammar and spelling, and include images and links where appropriate
well i though it would just lay out the basics for a sexy pvm hdin, i guess ima have to add all the noob stuff 2 :P, kk ima fix soon, i would apreciated if u guys added some of the stuff that my guide is missing

So HnK, you made that page eh? Kinda kewl I've tried to fix up the formattin but still need some help on two words I've marked with a (??) in the article.
Otherwise, HnK's given us a good format for future build pages. Equipment, skills, stats and the merc Now if only someone could come up with an intro or sommin Maybe some opinions on the items and skills, why they're chosen and not others. Stupid stuff but will help set an example And don't forget that hearing about d3, many n00bs have sprung up (including me lol :D) who don't know shit about a pally bo. Hey, does BotD stand for the Breath of the Dying runeword?? Or is it some unique or magic item??
Oh, and DGK, that Bone Necro guide would be dandy my friend. Whenever I play a necro, always end up with a zookeeper lol Or maybe it's just me

thx for help dude, u made it look a lot nicer lol :D, btw i meant eth as in ethereal not eth rune lol.:P
Terrible guide....ok its not THAT bad...but if your gona post it up on wiki you should include much more detail IMO like break points you wanna achieve and shit.....theres a few different hdin builds and you should mention there are replacements for gear you have listed and many other superior choices to what you have listed.
Come on, give the guy a break people, atleast he's tried to set something up. Agreed, the english isn't anything to talk home about and the format was, to put it lightly, hilarious but he's already said that it's just a rough setup. And he's also asked for help on the page.
It's not like the page was made by him so he should be the only one to make any edit on it. A normal wiki always has more than one person working on a single page simultaneously. Share your wisdom, it's a huge free-for-all ... That's what a wiki is.
THIS GUY SHOULDN'T BE ALONE!!!

Just trying to give him some advice on how to improve

the setup hits the fcr breakpoint, didnt add stuff like that cause i was 2 lazy 2 reasearch it and shit, plus this is not a pvp guide so theres no real need for fhr because u get max block, and what are teh superior choices? if u think there are superior choices add them in the page
Ok ... Sorry bout being brash (should put up a note in my sig about me temper eh??? :D) Sometimes it just makes me sad
But I agree with HnK on this, if ya want to advise him, please show him how it's done. Nobody's perfect. Don't tell him to do it, I'm sure he'll be a good boi and listen to y'all that way. Why ... anyone would. And this goes for all of ya, not just Kefka
And HnK. please understand that n00bs have NO idea what a fcr or a fhr is ... Makes them regret their n00biness and they leave the place

Im not against class builds being on the wiki but I rekon these class builds should be renamed
For example - the Article "Hammerdin" should be renamed too "HnK's Hammerdin Build" or "HnK's Hammerdin Guide" if you add more infomation. And within that article there should be a link to your userpage or something. There is no universal Hammerdin class build
And when the builds are complete, you could request that a mod of the wiki lock it
And all these articles could be linked into the main "Class Builds" article. With the names of the author in the link
So and Sos Hammerdin
Another dudes Hammerdin
Mc Spammy Hammydin
Gregory the buttmonkey's Light Trapper
So on and so forth
And here's the link:

It's under builds under Diablo II characters on the main page of the Wiki.
