@eisprinzessin got me thinking by using just link instead of

I mean using

https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/beginner-build-guides-compendium-for-aom-fg-expansions/106137/124

instead of

[Beginner build guides Compendium (for AoM + FG expansions)](https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/beginner-build-guides-compendium-for-aom-fg-expansions/106137)

For example letā€™s look at @Neryā€™s build entry using the 2nd type of link:

Looks alright? Yes but click on it. You get:

[1.1.2.5-1.1.9.1] Beginnerā€™s Lightning Vindicator caster

because @Nery changed build type (a long time ago), the ranged one is out-dated and in the wrong category.

[edit] No, itā€™s ok. I now understand. Nery has 2 build entries in the compendium that lead to the same thread / have the same link. I thought incorrectly thereā€™s should be only one build entry.

What do you all think? Should I change all links to be dynamic / of the first type?
The drawback is that the titles might be longer and also constain [version] tags.

I think itā€™s alright as it is right now.
The title might be different, but itā€™s descriptive enough.

Though if it saves you time in the future, versus the time it would take you to change the existing ones to this format, you might as well do it. IMO they are both fine.

I can use regex in Notepad++ to quickly change showcase how this would look:

Now we have

Cooldown caster

After change

Cooldown caster

[edit] I was for changing it but now after some thinking Iā€™m for leaving it as it is. Let me know if you prefer one form over the other.

I would go for the ā€œnow we haveā€ version - as it is a list - shorter elements are imho better readable - and following the link should not be too hard

Thanks for adding my Ritualist, didnā€™t notice youā€™re still active :slightly_smiling_face:

Also I seems to miss some of the other builds, including your one Infiltrator with Chillstrifes, which is obviously cool.

I wasnā€™t active for a few months.

Tell me which are missing and Iā€™ll add them. Instead of your Chillstrifeā€™s guide thereā€™s leveling for it in the Compendium: [1.1.2.5] DW cold Infiltrator for beginners-build diary so I think Iā€™ll change it to your Chillstrife guide and players will be able to find leveling from there

Or maybe Iā€™ll check your compendium. [edit] Nah, all your builds are in compendium.

Maybe you meant my Spectral Longsword caster Infi ā†’ itā€™s in the compendium. I put it in Melee Hybrid but after remembering what this category is about (melee AA + other things), I moved it to Cooldown Caster. Although itā€™s Cooldown Caster (Roh) + Melee (Shadow Strike and fight in melee range) + Spam Caster (Chillspikes) hybrid because all these skills deal good damage but RoH is the focus and most damage I suppose.

No, no I just meant that Iā€™ve missed the builds you added in last update. For instance I havenā€™t saw before your Infiltrator guide and it serves better purpose than my own, which is pretty old.

After watching half of Shadowstrike Skip Guide - Grim Dawn ZIPPING - YouTube by @RektbyProtoss and Eluminator
Iā€™d love to make some build guide with hard to get MIs and use this technique to farm them.

Hello Nery, thank you so much for all your work. It is possible for you to reshare the " [Advanced mechanics guide by Nery et. al. ]? Itā€™s seems to me that itā€™s down, maybe Iā€™m mistaken.

Check THIS link if itā€™s working for you. Mind that the guide wasnā€™t completed and itā€™s pretty old.

Sounds like it needs to be completed then.

What do you think of this format of build entries: Build Compendium for Mods ?
For me itā€™s more readable but it is a bit rough and lacks the flow the current one has.

  • Keep current format
  • Move to new format

Usually, old ways are complex to break due to habits but by the looks of it, I prefer the new style.

I skip the vote as I can live with both - and you would have the work to do for the change :slight_smile:

The poll is closed. Since 5 were for the changes and 3 against, I reformatted the OP.
I also changed the color of links from the default one as itā€™s not very readable and blends with the background.
Also colors of damage types because Iā€™ve never liked those chosen by Ulvar.
Beginnerā€™s/budget acid Sentinel Acid Sentinel Nery
Beginnerā€™s/budget PRM Mage Hunter Elemental Mage Hunter Nery
Beginnerā€™s Nephrite Spellbinder Aether Spellbinder Stupid_Dragon

Also wanted to change usernames to links to their profiles but
