Talk:Running skills

Sorry for removing the tag. This is my second page and I think it is different than the speed boost page. I made this just as a quick reference for PvE players. The Speed Boost page is more based on PvP.ShardsofNarsil 03:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it is valuable for PvE players looking for running skills.
I haven't figured everything out yet. I would appreciate it if you let me keep it. and if some one is looking for running skills they will find my page whereas they might not find speed boost page.ShardsofNarsil 03:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm planning to make this even better.
If someone would tell me how to make the background colors for the skills I really could make it look a lot better.ShardsofNarsil 03:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Running Skills Page
I'm relatively new to Guildwars (Level 7). I entered a search for running skills today and I found this page. It looks simple, easy to use and very useful to me as a new player. I also saw the discussion related to this page and Speed Boost, so I looked at Speed Boost too. The Speed Boost page is very well constructed, but it's pretty detailed for me, at least for now. This page gives me what I need without having to dig for it. Can I recommend that you keep both and cross-link them? Thanks for considering this idea. WarCloud9 19:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Page Design
I also see that the author wants to improve the design of the page. That's fine, but I think this page is great because it's so simple and easy to use. I'd say keep the design simple and any changes should be cosmetic.WarCloud9 19:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally like it better than the Speed boost page. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  貢  22:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking on doing one of those shiny tables (like for List of touch skills by example), but was unable to come with a way to select these skills automatically. Maybe adding a new category to those skills, but i am too lazy to do it myself.--Fighterdoken 02:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

colour
K, i copied some stuff off of other pages and here's what I came up with, if anyone can clean it up please do. Invincible Rogue 04:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

thank you! I appreciate it I will add the asuran, norn and vanguard skills too! Hey, Invincible Rogue, if you could put the names to the side of the skill pictures, instead of below them, I think it would look cleaner. though you would have make the background size bigger. I added the skills and put the names on the sides, but now there is a weird spacing thing with the pictures and anyone who can fix that and still have the names to the side would be very helpful!ShardsofNarsil 00:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

What pages did you get the background code from?ShardsofNarsil 07:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll come look at it, and play with the spacing...but in the morning. I'm too tired now (my eyes are bleeding from killing charr with my LDOA candidate).  Until then, Happy Hunting. Scion Of Erixalimar 08:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK...I cleaned up the article quite a bit. To better understand what I did, please look into Google Search on Table Styles and CSS and Wikipedia's Table help.  That being said, since there's much more to "running" than enhancing speed, I think this page is misleading.  Honestly, I think I concur that this should be merged with speed boost skills.  If that page is too detailed or obtuse, why not make some suggestions on how to make it more friendly rather than make a new page with the same information. Scion Of Erixalimar 19:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for cleaning up the page and for the references,Scion. This page, as the page title suggests, is not a strategy guide. It's intended to be an easy access, quick reference guide for new players.ShardsofNarsil 06:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I copied some of the code from some quick link page that had colour, I'm not very adept at that kind of thing though.... Maybe making quick references similar to what GuildWiki has isn't a bad idea, I'm sort of going to fence-sit this one though. Invincible Rogue 19:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Thank you guys for all of your help. Personally I think the page looks great! again thank you!ShardsofNarsil 21:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey just want to say nice page, I like it alot and it is very helpful. The other one is great too but this one is very helpful for Noobs like me regarding running skills. Thanks much Goin&#39; On Mission 04:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Skill tables
I've rewrited the article to use the Skill table instead of self-made tables. Looks better (and more wiki-ish) imho. Also, in this case, shouldn't it be renamed to List of running skills? horsedrowner 08:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of renaming it(I started the page). and thank you for making it better.-- Shards of Narsil  20:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Primal Rage?
Should this really be listed here, or on the Speed Boosts page? An elite Frenzy would not be my first choice for running... 67.246.54.73 01:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is an automatically generated list, so yes Vili [[Image:User Vili sig.jpg|User talk:Vili]] 01:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * From the name I assumed this to be focused on PvE running, whereas it seems to be almost identical to the Speed boost page. In that case I guess I would see merging this page with Speed boosts as being a logical thing to do. 67.246.54.73 01:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what the purpose of this article is, anymore. If it's just to list all IMS in the game, Primal Rage should be there. If it's to list skills which are viable for running, then the list needs some trimming. Vili 05:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, right now it needs a description at the top, if nothing else. And as it's only IMS skills right now, it's not too much help (aka, at this point should be merged). But, if it were to be a true list of running skills (subjective) you would need to essentially include every skill from every viable running build (with some generalization like self-heal, condition removal, hex removal). And in that situation, Primal Rage should be removed. --JonTheMon 13:33, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
