Rework the Skills Advisor to include Community-made builds

The purpose of the Skills Advisor is to suggest builds for players to help them get acquainted with their Class. However, these builds haven't changed since their introduction, and many of the abilities have been changed or outright given different functionality. That's not to mention that Subclassing is now here, giving players even more skill options to navigate. Some players don't want to look online for builds to follow, so here's the pitch:

Make something akin to the Home Tours feature, but instead let players share their custom builds in-game that the Skills Advisor will help other players reconstruct.

This would allow new players to browse for interesting builds, and the Skills Advisor will guide them in the process of unlocking those skills. Players can also search for the intended role (Stamina DD, Magicka DD, Tank, Healer) or other tags (such as Roleplay, PvP, Infinite Archive, Arenas, etc) to further refine their search. Bonus points if this also suggests the appropriate Skill Styles used to help the color palette or theme of the skills match. Scribing abilities would be described by the Grimoire+Focus+Signature+Affix combination used.


Any thoughts?

Werewolf Should be Allowed to Sneak
Please give us Werewolf Skill Styles (for customizing our fur color), Grimoires/Scribing skills (to fill in the holes in our builds), and Companions (to transform with).

    Very good idea, I support this.

    Would also be nice to have a way to link your build in-game, some add-ons allow that.
    @MorvanClaude on PC/NA, don't try to trap me with lore subjects, it will work

    It would be nice to get the existing skill advisor suggestions adjusted for all the changes that have been made. Were they changed at all with the unification thing for mag/stam resource pools?

    Even if they didn't want to house a database of builds, I would at least like to have a customizable skill advisor. Being able to pre-select wanted skills is a great reminder of what to work on while leveling.
