Talk:Equipment template

Template Download

 * I think we need to have a equipment template download link thing, using the same format as the skills template download. It would be very helpful for builds that need certain armor and/or weapons.

PvE characters
It would be great if PvE characters could use this as well, so that when I change from a fighting build to a running build, I could just load the running skills template and load the running equipment template. Or something like the weapon templates, but for armor. Banaticus 03:19, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh i know :c I wish it worked for PvE as well. {Dubby 13:00, 28 March 2007 (CDT)}
 * What exactly is the reason this doesn't work for PvE characters? I have so many equipment sets specifically geared towards playing all the various high-level areas, it would be immensely useful. Sometimes I wonder about ANET. Jrista 21:21, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Because the equipment template creates the equipment for you with the PvP character, and you can't save every little tiny detail that would only be useful for 1 character onto a template. Just doubleclick it on like everyone else does --Gimmethegepgun 21:30, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Thats a very uninformed point of view. When you consider that many, many PvE players have 3-5 sets of armor per character, half a dozen weapon or weapon/offhand combos, and that certain equipment combinations go with certain skill sets, being able to save and load equipment templates can be extremely useful for a PvE player.

 * The equipment template is saved as a PvP character template, which has certain pieces of armor and weapons and creates them. It does NOT equip armor that you may have in your inventory, but creates new ones, and so would be worthless for a PvE character. Plus, if you make one tiny little change to anything you have, maybe put an Attunement onto your gloves or something, then suddenly that part of the template wouldn't work any more anyway. Before this came out, I don't think anyone was complaining about having to manually put on different pieces of armor. This and the skill template were designed solely for PvP characters and allowing them to create new ones but still head back to the old ones without any trouble --Gimmethegepgun 19:02, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
