Love this idea, and came up with one to address the "you don't have the equipment anymore" flaw.

When you click the build, it loads all your weapons, armor, attributes, and skills. BUT, if you don't have a certain weapon or armor, a pop-up window would show up that says something like this:

"The build saved as 'Name' uses a "Forgerunner," however that item is not in your inventory and so will not be equipped. There will be nothing equipped in its position."

Likewise, for armor...

"The build saved as 'Name' uses an 'Ascetic's Shing Jea Leggings of Superior Divine Favor,' however that item is not in your inventory and so will not be equipped There will be nothing equipped in its position."

Together...

"The build saved as 'Name' uses a 'Fiery Fellblade of Enchanting,' an 'Eternal Shield,' and an 'Ascetic's Shing Jea Leggings of Superior Divine Favor,' however those items are not in your inventory and so will not be equipped. There will be nothing equipped in their positions."

I have no idea how hard the build saver and this idea would be to implement. It could be as simple as adding a few lines to the code and some more client-side info or as difficult as a brand new code section with tons of lines and more server info.

I think it would only complicate the build set if it switches your equipment on top of everything else.

Same as it goes with weapons, you have your weapon set allready implemented into GW, so why bother adding this to a Build Set?

This is great. I get really tired having to sort through my notepad for the build I need.

Perhaps for the armor/weapons/etc. You could access the options menu to exclude those options. Because some might just want to use it for attributes and skills.

This is something ANet really needs to put in.

Awesome awesome idea, seriously.

I think someone already suggested this a while back but it's a definite must.

It'd also be kinda cool if there were default builds built in, that you can toy around with. Like, the most popular builds for every class (A contest kind of like the weapon contest)

love it and the window looks perfect

if this was to be client based, you could maybe import other build sets from other players, perhaps using a simple .ini file.

whe.. builds on paper? oke

A build saver would be great, it could change the attributes too while it's at it, it's a pain to go from pure blood to SS or MM or whatever build I got going in my head that I wanted to try

any suggestions for improving the window?

perhaps adding it to change attributes at the same time, and that you can edit it under the build
