    Weapon Skill Template

    Hello everyone,

    I got distracted by our WS pages, so I'm working through them at the moment with a new template. There are still about a hundred to go, but I'm done the Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and Merit WSs along with the rest of H2H/Dagger/Sword (and some other random ones).

    Here are some examples:
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/King%27s_Justice
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Evisceration
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Realmrazer
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Viper_Bite



    If you check at the bottom of the page, you'll notice that weaponskills are now automatically put into categories based on their skillchain properties. This should (when complete) make it easier for you to find WSs to pair with your own. Like:
    1) Search WS you want to use (say Dragon Kick because you're trying to unlock Asuran Fists).
    2) Click the highest skillchain property below (maximize WS points - Fragmentation in this case)
    3) Oh! Fragmentation closes Light if someone opens for me with Fusion!
    4) Click Fusion to see what WSs give Fusion.
    5) What is this?! It appears that my handy-dandy White Mage friend can open for me with Realmrazer.
    6) Complete the trial in record time, etc.


    Anyway, that's the plan. The transition should be done in a week or two. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/feedback.

    - Byrth

    As far as I know, the normal WS pages are now complete and so are the Skillchain category pages. The list of WSs at the bottom of Skillchain category pages are sorted alphabetically by weapon type, so Archery -> Axe -> Club, etc. I've tried to sort it out and really can't seem to figure out how to make it actually display the titles yet, but perhaps some day I will. You should be able to navigate these pages to figure out how to/whether you can make certain skillchains within a few clicks.

    Example:
    1) I unlocked Asuran Fists last weekend and now I want to unlock Ascetic's Fury duoing with my WHM mule, preferably with Tier 3 skillchains.
    2) I can either use Asuran Fists (Gravitation) or Dragon Kick (Fragmentation) to make a higher tier skillchain because they have Tier 2 properties.
    3) I search "Asuran Fists" then click "Gravitation" and then "Distortion" (because it leads to Darkness) and scan for Club WSs. It hops straight from Axe to Dagger, so no luck.
    4) I search "Dragon Kick" then click "Fragmentation" and then "Fusion" (because it leads to Light) and scan for club WSs. I see Hexa Strike and Realmrazer, so I know that I can open Light skillchains with those and close with Dragon Kick. Mission Accomplished.

    For Skillchain properties, we still need:
    * Blue Magic
    * Automaton WSs
    * <Level 50 Rage BPs <--- Finished

    I have updated the BP template to accommodate skillchain properties but haven't implemented them yet on most of the appropriate pages. That may be my next project.

    Edit: Nevermind, went through and did the BPs immediately after posting this. Just BLU spells and Auto WSs left.
