Hey all! This is my first post here on the forums but I've been playing since the US Beta.

My Linkshell suggested that I post this idea on the forums. So here it is...

Me and some of my buddies like to occasionally play a game called Guild Wars. Guild Wars revolves around "builds" which contains 8 skills and a characters stat's. One neat thing Guild Wars lets you do with your build is save it as a template. With this you are able to freely load up new builds to match a new playing style.

I can't say for certain this idea is entirely practical for FFXIV. But it seems like most players would probably have a preferred set of skills for both playing in a party and playing solo. Of course it mostly comes in to play when switching jobs. The system as it is now definitely makes switching jobs a tad cumbersome... even with macros. So essentially what I'm saying is I think the ability to save you set of skills and stats(Attributes) and load a new set would be kind of useful.

Finally, Guild Wars also has the ability to post your "build" to the chat allowing anyone to see what skills you're using. This is probably not really necessarily but I thought I'd just throw it out there.

Not an original idea by any means... but as a game developer myself I always look to other games for ideas! Let me know what you all think!
