If a variety of folks make a contribution to a group of different game elements, a team effort sort of like the Encyclopedia Britannica, then you would find a nice 1.10 Encyclopedia Diablica. Here are volumes I feel are worth presenting, consistent with Shadow's Theme.
O. Quest Tricks (Such things as Duri Mules, etc.)
I. Hard Core Guide. (OK, I am already prepping this for 1.10 inputs)
II. Class Strat Guides: (Focus on skills and not items.)
A. Amazon
B. Assassin
C. Barbarian
D. Druid
E. Necromancer
F. Paladin
G. Sorceress
III. Item Madness School:
A. Crafting and Cubing Guide (Crafts and Gem recipes)
B. Imbuing Guide (If anyone is interested)
C. Shopping Guide (Ilvl areas of interest)
D. Gambling Guide
E. Magic Finding For The Materially Obsessed (last priority)
F. Runes and other Graffitti (Start with a Link to 'Runica' and go from there to discuss odd things about various and sundry runes and rune words.)
Features Section
IV. The Merc Bible:
A. Rogues
B. Greiz' Legionaires (Town Guards to the uninitiated)
C. Iron Wolves
D. Beefcakes (Uh, Barbarians)
V. Weapon Features
A. IAS
B. ED
C. CB, OW, HCMF, PMH
D. Wereform Attacks
VI. Defensive Features
A. Blocking Frame Rates by Class
B. DR
C. FHR
D. Faster Run Walk
E. Fun with Damage and Magic Damage Reduction
VII. Minion Madness
A. The Bimbo Report (Decoy and Valkyrie)
B. Eye Shadow Junkies (Shadow Warrior and Master)
C. The Petting Zoo (Druid pets)
D. Field General's Compendium: (Quirks with golems, skeletons, revives that are not in a Necro Guide)
The very last priority:
VIII. Item Weirdness
All the weird crap that Uniques, sets, Crafts, Rares and Rune words do that one does not expect. Like, the Eth bug, etc.
OK, there is a lot of already solid baseline info out there. By breaking this field of knowledge down into sub categories, and giving each sub category a small guide, versus a bloody big phone book sized tome, and spreading out the work, a great deal can be presented to our dear host to put on his bookshelf.
Don't forget, all volumes to be bound in Black Leather with gold lettering. :)
Who is with me? I have already commited to editing 'Rahl's Hardcore Guide' with new 1.10 info once 1.10 is out.
