Greetings all!
For those of you who have been paying attention, we're just about to go ahead with adding some generic rune builds to monster pages. In case anyone is wondering, when we say "Generic Builds" we are referring to cookie cutter builds that can be used by a wide variety of monsters. Before we start, I think it would be a good idea to gauge community feedback regarding how we would go about that. We currently have two approaches:
- The first one is a simple free-for-all system where users will simply go about the various monster pages, and add builds they think are commonly used by the monster, as well as stats needed for that build. Everything is left up to the editor's discretion on what to set up the generic build.
- The second approach is a more standardized one. Instead of a simple free-for-all, we would compile a list of generic builds together, along with the stats what would be good for that build. Once we have a list of builds, we would then simply go around the monster pages, and add builds based on the list we've created. There is room to add additional stats for the build on the actual monster page, but there would be some initial stats for the build at first.
Either approach has it advantages and disadvantages. I think it would be good to get feedback from more members of the community, since ultimately it's community members who will be doing a lot of the work. Please let us know which approach you'd be in favor of. If there is another approach that you think could work, please feel free to let us know. It may even be better then the approaches outlined here!
