I. INTRODUCTION AND REVISION HISTORY

Diablo is a RPG/Adventure game created by Blizzard release in 1996 for the PC
and in 1997 for the macintosh. While the one player mode is great and fun,
it can only last you maybe a week or two. The greatness of this game, is the
fact you can connect to Blizzard¹s Battle.net. Here, you can join with 3
other people to play. Instead of playing by yourself, you can build your
character to win dueling tournaments, or co-op through hell. This is where
the REAL fun is.

Revision History
v0.10 (3/??/00) : First version. Minor things about each character class,
and extra things they get in playing over battle.net.
Obviously, more to come... I might decide to do another
revision in a couple of hours.

v0.20 (3/26/00) : V0.10 was never released, as it sort of got mixed with
11:20pm PST this version, so V0.10 was never really a revision...
Basic things for warrior, rogue, and sorceror are done.
Mostly equipment advice.

v0.20A(3/27/00) : Huge problem with the text fixed. This won¹t be posted
12:39am PST since I just sent in v0.20 about a hour ago, so I will
wait till today after school. To imagine I¹m talking
about school... anyway, this is just something minor,
back to work.

v0.30 (3/27/00) : Second update of the day...Added advantages and insights
4:05pm PST to each class, as well as added the guild section. Big
update..more to come late today, I¹m writing this at 1 am.
Anyway, I don¹t believe v0.20 was posted on gamefaqs,
because of the text problem, so I¹ll send it now, and hope
it works. Anyway, later.

v0.40 (3/28/00) : 50% done on the strategy section for each class. Also
12:00am PST added a multiplayer tactics section. Its around 33.3%
done, so more and more stuff will be added.

V0.45 (3/28/00) : More of that text problem. Hmmm, the whole FAQ was messed
up and it took me a good 30 minutes, so heres V0.45. Also
decided to check the whole FAQ for errors.

V0.50 (3/28/00) : Finished the Rogue section of the strategies. At least I
think I¹m done. Maybe some minor updates on it, but
nothing major will occur on it. Thats it for today, I¹m
going to work on it tonight and tomorrow to get a rather
large update in.

V0.50a (3/29/00): V0.50 never got posted. hmmm

V0.55 (3/30/00) : Sorceror strategies done. 20% left, still have that
multiplayer section to get to, but I got a little done on
it. Still a whooping 60% left in that section. Connection
is messed up, so I cant send this in, so this will be an
unreleased revision. =)

V0.70 (3/30/00) : My own strategies for each class are done. Theres probably
some minor things I might add, but basically I¹m done with
that section. Some reader strategies would be nice, but
I can live without them. Anyway, connection is down, again,
so this will be a huge update. Also added dueling section.

V0.80 (4/01/00) : Worked on the multiplayer tactics section, as well as edited
until my eyes hurt, so theres bound to be a couple of mistakes
I missesd. Point them out to me, if you want.

V0.90 (4/04/00) : Added more to the dueling section. Starting to get to the
last version of the guide. I might take a long break so that
people can send in strategies of their own, and that will be
the final version, because I rather not go past 1.00, because
1.00 should be the final version, with only minor things and
contributions to add. Added more in the Multiplayer Tactics
Section.

V1.00 (4/13/00) : Everything is done. Maybe a minor updated version, but I
highly doubt it.
V1.01 (4/19/00) : Fixed huge disclaimer problem. Updated lay-out.

In Future Revisions:
--------------------
*Reader strategies - like what Ken Lawler sent it

* - This isnt a priorty with me and if no one sends anything in, then none
will be added, so its up for you, my readers to continue on this guide. Email
me your strategies at cnick_1@hotmail.com.

II. WARRIOR

The warrior is the foot-soldier of diablo. Instead of attacking from long
range, or using a magic spell, warriors grab a nice sword, or an axe, or a
mace, and walk straight up to the enemies of hell. Great armor, and lots
of health is required.

=================
=Characteristics=
=================

STR: 250
DEX: 60
MAG: 45
VIT: 100

Look above and you get the general idea of what a warrior does. High
strength allows warriors to grab any kind of armor and any kind of weapon.
Full Plate Mail is the necessary armor for a warrior. Find one of these
are cherish it. Below are some armor and weapons you should look for.
Remember, unique weapons and armor basically suck, unless you get them
early on.
