User talk:Queen Schmuck/Hero Inv

This is GREAT! Thanks! Will be using this at User:Gem/Heroes when I have the time to update it. -- (talk) 17:22, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * Glad to see someone else might get some use for this also. The idea first came to me when I was trying to remember which charactor needed the shiney new Kepkhet's Refuge I had just bought.  After 10 minutes of relogging, I finally found the one that needed it, only to find I had used a collector staff to roll my own.  Now to bigger things, like the Storage Mule template...

 * Please let my know on my talk page when you have that one ready, or anything else as great as this. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:37, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Though not 100% filled in (or even close), this page was very helpful while leveling up my heroes, as I could immediately spot which characters needed to work on what heroes. Now that Wintersday is over, and the mad rush to have all 7 PvE characters do all available holiday quests (even Greatest Snowman for non-Tyrian chars!), I might have some more time to get more information filled in. If people are actually watching this page (doubtful, this would be boring for anyone else, unless they want to see how a non-Pro outfits heroes), they might even see, just by how I equip them, how my heroes are used and could even go as far as to safely speculate on which general builds I might be using.

 * * stalker emerges from shadows* I'm watching you. You might want to look at User:Gem/Lists/Heroes. I'm going to present the builds for all of my hero professions above and then I'm going to have all of the heroes of all of my characters use the same builds. Just to make things easier. *hides in shadows* --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:40, 5 January 2007 (CST)


 * I've already been sharing my hero builds with all heroes, and updating the heroes with new mods to the builds as needed (and when I remember). In the templates (oh Thank GOD FOR THEM!), I use the filename style "Hero [hero name] (elite skill + build type)", as in: Hero Koss (Charge + Wild Blow + Savage Slash + party def) This makes it TONS easier to keep your builds current on all your heroes, and at a glance know which template to load. Some day I might get around to putting all my hero builds up on here.  I currently have 81 hero skill templates, probably half of which are monk builds with various elites and variations.  Some (10?) are early builds, and probably just need thrown away (like my early MM builds).  Altogether, I have 148 build templates.  Someday I should go through the builds on this wiki and see if my line of thinking is like anyone else's.  LOL  So far, the only builds I have grabbed from here are the Invincimentalist (works!) and the Critical Barrager. I see you have made my hero template and made it more, how should I put this, easier to work with and more appealing to the eye?  BTW, Goren likes hammers.

 * PS - Dunkoro prefers it when Zenmai uses a bow!


 * I didn't actually use your template at all, except for possibly copying the wiki code for tables. (Slower to write than copy. Not sure if I copied it from your or my page :D ) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * I've created an initial template for hero equipment (still working on it). See it in use here: User:Aberrant80/Storyline_Characters/Heroes. Feel free to take a look and/or comment/improve on it. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 20:35, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * Nice. I might change the upgraded armor to have just 2 cells like yours.  The only reason I might keep the table as it is would be so I can remember where to get the armor upgrades without looking it up all the time.  :P  Queen Schmuck 21:12, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * Aberrants table looks nicer and is easier to read :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2007 (CST)


 * Glad people are taking the idea and running with it. Personally, I am a stickler for details, which might explain the depth of description in my table.  Much like one person saying "A car burns gasoline to move" and another person having a 2 hour discussion with you on exactly how everything works to make the car burn the gasoline and go.  A boring conversation to most, an interesting one to few.  Aberrants' table gets the job done, that is for sure.  I believe most people will want to use his cliff note version, as it would be much easier to work with and read.  Mine seems to work best full-screen at 1600x1200 resolutoin.  ;P  (btw, working on an "intelligent" table that fills in itself and only shows detail level you want, much like a web based excel spreadsheet)  Queen Schmuck 01:01, 17 January 2007 (CST)


 * Acutally Aberrants version can hold the same stuff in it. (Okay, it's missing pet info) What makes it easier and nicer to read is the fact that the weapon info isn't divided into multiple cells. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:59, 17 January 2007 (CST)
