    Regarding the Job Trait Template

    We have the current template which doesn't address multiple jobs very well IMO. An example of this would be:

    http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Clear_Mind

    Here is what I propose:

    http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Subtle_Blow

    The colors could be changed to make things a little more obvious, but that's a formatting issue. The thing that I would like to note is that the layout is so much easier to read.

    Re: Regarding the Job Trait Template

    I'd also like to add that the template doesn't have a place to really put the actual amount per trait. I noticed that a few others had a seperate table/area for that, which I added to the page I created (http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Dual_Wield.) Do we need to put them in the first table or should that be added to the template?

    The tables added by other job traits were added after the Job Trait template was originally submitted. Unfortunately, as soon as the Job Trait template was finished, it was locked down to only SysOps being able to edit the template. It would require someone to be able to go back into it.

    I would have done this sooner, but I've been working on other templates as well.

    Also of further note, to integrate the values into the table would be creating too much complexity for what should be a simple template. The values should remain seperate from the base table, under it's own header.

    This was talked about quite a bit in the Staff forums before the general public had access to edit everything. We settled on the Clear Mind example due to the fact that it was less space taken up. Furthermore, you could argue that both are easy to read given their own formatting.

    Maybe expand the equipment table to add level and slot it fits under, or organize based on it's slot type. I think just putting a number in that table plainly is a ugly amount of white space imho

    What about something like what I have here http://wiki.bluegartr.com/User:Neuromancer? Obviously can't change the templates, but it has less white space and gives more information, although it could be seen as excessive since you can just click on the link.

    Re: Regarding the Job Trait Template

    Well at least a level, the slot it fits in can be omitted, but that's the one thing that bugged me with the wiki when it came down to just going to the trait and figuring out what improves it. The lack of level and slot was an unnecessary amount of page scrolling. Of course I have most items in the game written to memory but the average user probably doesn't have a memory as good as mine, and it's a nice way to just summarize how you can wear to maximize a specific trait.
