GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Professions

Someone should go over the current pages and see if they're really -missing- any information, anything that might conceivably need to be regularly added/updated. If not.. do we need a style guide for this? New professions will just be added with expansion packs (probably) and they're not very complicated as-is. Nunix 06:50, 22 Jun 2005 (EST)

Profession Combinations
Do we really need the Profession Combinations section on each of the profession pages. As far as I can tell most all of these link to either empty pages, or to pages with one line saying that combination x/y is a charater who's primary class is x and who's secondary class is y. Everyone knows that. A few of these have slightly more detailed discussions of one or two small ways x and y's skills could benefit one another.

Obviously, there are a large number of ways that the total number of skills between two classes can be combined. Different combinations suit different purposes and playstyles. It's quite a lot to expect one article to cover all of these details. I think the topic would be more suitably discussed through categories and smaller build specific articles. Many of these already exist. Something like builds -> necromancer primary builds -> necromancer mesmer builds -> Condition Spreader: a condition spreader focuses on .... and uses skills from both classes ...

There are already several articles about PvP builds and these would fit nicely under such a system. We could then link the profession pages not to the "builds -> monk primary" category instead of an empty or nearly empty professions combination page. Otherwise, more rudimentary discussions of the most basic strengths/weaknesses of general profession combo's could take place within the professions article itself, fleshing it out.--Squeg 03:37, 19 October 2005 (EST)
