A Note on Build Making
Generally when making skill sets of any profession the end desired end result tends to be powerful, easy to use, and fitting the player's own personal gameplay style. Needless to say, anyone who makes their own builds has preferences that make his/her build unique. However there are some basics that must be considered for nearly every type of template.


 * Power - Does the build have enough potential to wipe out an enemy or otherwise support an assault?
 * Innate Advantage - Does your build have an 'ace-in-the-hole' to give you the edge in combat? (Knockdown, Interruption, etc.)
 * Energy Management - Does your energy level maintain steady enough to continue the attack throughout the encounter?
 * Versatility - Can your build adapt quickly to fit your immediate situation and stay effective?
 * Survivability - Can you support your own weight or otherwise not die? (Kiting, Defense, Health, etc.)
 * Style - Does this build meet your own standard of playing style?

Usually only by meeting all these can you hope to make an effective - and terrifying - build that will strike fear into the hearts for your foes and awe into your allies. Have fun.

Key:
 * Updated- Build has been retooled to fit recent version updates.
 * Variant- Different but similar build that can be used as a close (possibly better) substitute.
 * Overhaul- Completely remade in context while remaining true to original set up
