    Regarding the job overview template...

    Any chance of adding durations and recasts to the job abilities listing please?
    I think that information is at least as pertinent as the (rather ugly) element icons next to the spell listings on the same pages.

    Also might look neater if the fields were fixed width, the resizing that occurs when viewing on a widescreen resolution looks kinda clumsy.

    Hey, can't the concept art from Elmer's job descriptions be used on the job pages instead of sceenshots? Would look nicer IMO.

    That's not exactly fair to Blue Mages, Corsairs, Puppetmasters, and Dancers, is it?

    Could easily compromise with a link on the overview to a concept art section, or even Elmer's section on the forums?

    They still have other SE concept art, like:

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../425/425_7.jpg

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../424/424_7.jpg

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../426/426_7.jpg

    So... in other words, it's only unfair to Puppetmaster.

    Re: Regarding the job overview template...

    we will have a discussion on this tonight to see if we go this route

    we might instead ask for artists of the community to donate custom artwork exclusive to bg-wiki

    If the concept art idea falls through, perhaps all the job page images can be replaced with pics of people in the best epeen gear for the job, rather than AF. Ridill/ebody WARs, bahamut staff/dalm/Nashira/AF2 SMNs, etc.

    Re: Regarding the job overview template...

    Just a thought:

    I noticed the Blue Mage job page has a section detailing all the job specific merits and what the bonus is for higher merit levels. Would it be out-of-the-question to add this for all the jobs?

    Re: Regarding the job overview template...

    I put this on the discussion page as well, but can we get all the summoner BPs by summoner level on the summoner page? It's just as useful as having all the white mage spells by level on the white mage page. They can go on each individual avatar's page also, but they should also be on the summoner's main page.
