PvXwiki:Equipment Templates

Equipment Templates
Equipment templates are fundamentally a great idea. In PvP, many people are able to create a new PvP character, pick a build, and jump in PvP in less than five minutes. While PvX's true intent is to preserve builds, and record them according to their usage, a primary function off a build is derived from the equipment the player uses. Without a standard in equipment the effectiveness, for the individual, of the build can be diminished. While it won't outright trash the build, the equipment template can mitigate people whining and complaining about build usage. In the end, the effort of putting these on the build is worth it.

The Old Template
This template is very archaic. Part of the idea of putting up the template is something that can smoothly integrate the page and thus not distracting the viewer with the awful limegreen color of this background. It functions well, but part of this project is also meant to implement the a new equipment template with ease. This will require someone who is good at wikicode.

The New Template
The objective of it is took much more transparent and to be able to fulfill the needs of the equipment section in one template. The new template is here.

Example:

Overall Focus

 * Create a new and easier-to-look at equipment template that is more new.
 * Add the equipment template to every current and future PvP build.

New Template Design
What should be done is that the whole equipment section can be done by implementing a name of the item and below it, the code. Although this may seem similar to the current one, the purpose of this template is to make it so that you can copy and paste each item. So, when someone wants to load a new equipment template, they can pick and choose each part to load.

The Issue With Defensive Sets
Because there is just so many sources of damage, it would be best to just make a slashing damage the normal type of shield. It's the most widely used form of physical damage.

Equipment Project Members
These are people that will decide to place the equipment templates on the builds. When the time the new template is finished, it shall be applied by these people. Anyone is allowed to place their own names below.
