Official Build Best Practices

Guidelines

This is a living document and will be expanded as more functionality is implemented on the site

Each Build must have...

• Frontmatter:
  • title
  • date
  • description
  • title in the format of "name [role]. For example, "Power Chronomancer [pDPS]"
  • categories (group, solo)
  • tags (damage type, profession, specialization, expansion, lowcog/lowphys/lowrep tags, weapon)
    • note that all expansion tags should be present if an expansion is required to play any part of the build (sigils, runes, relics, specializations, weapons, etc)
  • author name(s)
  • specs
  • balance string
• Gear
• Build template chat link

Should Have

• tagline for flavour
• keywords for seo
• benchmark dps
• apm calculation
• rotation notes
• updated date
  • note: updated date should only be changed when the build is notably changed. Changing the Balance String or updating DPS only does NOT qualify for this

May Have

• Notes to optimize builds for specific raids
• Notes for alternate traits and weapons

Tips:

• use the various {{ }} shortcodes for proper skill/trait/gear/etc display
• use footnotes for "aside" style notes: [^1] & [^1]: foot note text
• use the following html snippet to force a linebreak:

<div style=‘clear:both;’>&nbsp;</div>
