Sorry, could you explain to me how this can be useful in team PvE?

I mean, I think it would be great for me to look up what skills other people use and take a look at how they spread they're attributes, but I can't see what use it has in team PvE. Usually I just get the people with the profession I seek and the highest level and then I just go for it.

But again, I don't have any experience in PvP so if this was meant for PvP I'm not the person you should be listening to.

This would be useful for PvP. i.e. - No more "Sure I'll bring skill x!" and then get in there and call for that skill only to hear "I didn't bring it." In an 8-man team, you are NOT a one-man wonder. You are part of a 64-skill design. If you didn't bring a skill you were told to bring, you are screwing up 63 other skills.

Nice idea!

Maybe, however, you don't want anyone seeing your skill set, att point distribution, etc, for whatever reason. An option for that too?

One thing I like about this idea, if everyone on your party/team is able to see each other, is whether someone has Rez sig or spell.
I hate quitters in general, but a team with that one guy who has no sig can make all the difference between winning and being pwnt!
Yes! I'd leave that team in a NY minute!

Most people would want it so they could tell what kinds of builds are used by the people they're bringing into PUGs. I think it should also come with a 'lock' bit that says a person has finalized their skill selection and cannot change it without leaving the group and coming back.

Great idea. Would make it really easy to put together complimentary skills/builds and could help people to understand certain things like why the Smiting monk doesn't particularly want to fuxor their build into some generico Healer (not that there's anything wrong with a Healer build, mind you).

Sooner the better on this, I say!

Dude... that's the most ghetto photoshop/paint work I have seen in months... I love it.

The idea is iffy, but everyone needs a chance.

Sure go with it, not only is it nice to see what your friends have, if you can graph what your enemy has and actually fight against him, more power to you to be honest, not sure why they didn't include the ability to inspect already, I remember how much I asked about weapons like the chaos axe, mursaat hammer, that wierd spiral mace, etc., just simplifies it.

And hey, inspection would give a reason to make 15k armor Green!

I like this idea. I don't care about fame or rank, but I'd like to know the skills/attributes used by my group mates. This would speed up the final tuning of a group, and this would ensure the team build is consistent.

how are we acually going to make this real like will they notice this thread or whatever becuase e realy do need this, i was aso thinking there could be a option for the team leader to be able to re-arrange the team formation and also make other people party leaders.

the man reason i thought up this idea was with the big problem with peple not bring rez + liying about rank.

this better happen

Thread rated 5.

I also would like to see the same dialog for a /check command, and again, as I said in another post, there needs to be an /anon if people dont want to show this information.

Rather than people being able to "inspect" me, I'd prefer being able to ctrl-h "announce" my build to the chat window. Perhaps have a few buttons in the character info window that you could click instead.

As long as i get no extra windows automatically popping up when i select an ally. Monks constantly select allies you see.
There would need to be a special button to press to see that page.

(But no, i will not change my skills. If you don't like it, find another monk )
