Nice Post Dhraax

I will try to update my Force Wielder guide later tonight, with info on the changes with choke and lightning (and states) pertaining to pvp and pve. Also will update force costs as well.

BTW, I posted another template....It's kinda hilarious, but it can be useful at the same time!

Yup, saw it. I was wondering if you wanted it in here. It is kinda funny, but you never know, someone might play it.

I'll update the post to include it. Maybe that will incite others to write more template guides.

• Our beloved correspondent, Baciacca's template, once we finally find out what our Jedi Master chose for himself.


• MsNil's Template: Master Healer / Master Enhancer / Lightsaber 4-0-0-4


• Our dedicated previous correspondent, SonGouki's template... if I knew what it is.


• And many more... feel free to suggest those you'd like to see added here...

OTHER USEFUL TEMPLATE GUIDES

Following some suggestions I received, I also decided to add links to the following template guides. These are not guides about a specific template, but rather generic guides about multiple template. They usually do not go in as many details but they do cover more templates and they are a great resource for people deciding on templates.

• It Is Your Destiny - Jedi Templates vs1.3, with up to 50 templates total, by DarthINSANUS (Updated to Publish 19)


• Any others out there? Let me know...

• The actual template and what skills/masteries it contains.


• Be original, give it a name! This way people can refer to them by name in-game instead of by skill description, which breaks immersion. I already called dibs on the "Great Dark Force Wielder" template name.


• Include whether or not this template leaves unused skill points and also include the force pool you'd get with it. Adding a summary of mods like armor and defenses could be interesting.


• Make sure you talk about your experiences with this template, why you chose it, how it came to be.


• Make sure you properly document the pros and cons of the complete template, not just of a single mastery. In my case, I went for "the good, the bad and the ugly".


• Include tactics on how people can effectively use this template, in PvP vs non-jedi, vs Jedi, group vs solo, and various PvE scenarios.


• Talk about which FS skills you would recommend to grind if someone is going for your template. FS skills may be mostly useless but they do have some minor perks after all.


• Provide advice on grinding it, such as which boxes should be completed first and the order.I did not include it in mine yet as I respec'd from a double mastery to my own template, so I never grinded it as it is now.


• Include all the bugs that affect this template. You can also list them at the end of the post like I did.


• Make sure you tell people "this template is for you if..." or "this template is not for you if..." by referring to the playstyle you need to enjoy this template. My template is awesome but many would hate it if they mostly play solo or want to be tanks or damage dealers with little thinking into tactics. Talk about the kind of player you need to enjoy the proposed template.


• Make sure you use proper formatting to make the template easy to read and not painful. Sections, bold, bullets, and colors help, as long as you do not overdo it. Avoid large fonts for the main text.


• If a new publish or hotfix is announced or released, make sure you keep yourtemplate guide updated with the latest changes.


• Try to avoid suggesting how the template could be changed by the devs. The purpose is to document templates as they work today, not as they should work. You can give your opinion here and there, but make the information valuable and based on facts, not wishful thinking.

Once you have written and posted your template or profession guide, make sure you come back to this thread and come post a link to it. I'll try to get it added as soon as possible. If you notice a great guide which would fit well here, make sure to post a link to it and I'll review it.

If you support this idea for a compilation of profession and template guides, make sure you say it here and Baciacca can act in the name of the community bykeeping it up asa sticky.I thinkthis is nowa great "go to" thread for people who need to decide instead of seeing 3537125362153 posts every day about "yet another template advice needed". Make sure you point people to it, whether in-game or on the forums.

Hope this help. Enjoy!

Hey Baciacca, any chance of getting this stickied yet? When you log on and have a minute, of course. I'm sure it would help a lot and encourage people to write more guides.
