Skill template



Different from the equipment template, you can use this template on PvE characters as well as PvP characters.

This template saves your skillbar and the attribute point allocation, not the equipment. For saving equipment, see the equipment template.

You can use this template to change quickly from one build to another.

How to use the skill template option
After choosing the skills and attributes that you want to save for template, press this button:(above the attributes in skill window) and press this button: and choose name in the opened window.

To load template you choose instead of  and then choose the template you want to use.

Some builds on this site have the skill template in text form at the bottom of the build. To use this template, simply create a new text document named appropriately (.txt) in your "Guild Wars\Templates" folder and paste the encoded string into the document. Put no spaces before the string, and leave no spaces after the string. If you add a template this way while you have Guild Wars open, you must exit and rerun Guild Wars to be able to select the new template. Builds that have this option have this on their page:

Sharing
Another good use for the template is that you can share it with others.

You can send your template by entering the templates folder that is inside the guildwars main folder, then entering the skills folder and giving the text file with the template name to friends.

To add someone's build you need to put his text file into the skills template folder and you will have the template.

Tips

 * Give your templates meaningful names so that you can easily scan through them in-game.
 * If Guild Wars is running and you make changes to the text files that store the templates in the game directory itself, remember that these changes will only be reflected when you quit and restart Guild Wars.
