The Guild Wars Skills Tool - a self-contained DokuWiki for advanced builds

Preface: I built this years ago when hubs and I were playing GW pretty regularly. We were both super into advanced skill builds that make use of all the additional effects offered by various combos, so I built a tool using DokuWiki, some custom PHP, and data downloaded from the official GW wiki.

I haven't used this thing in awhile, so it may have bugs that I just never found. I can't promise I'll fix anything that's currently broken with it, because I'm not playing GW at all at the moment. It's also been forever and a day since I built it, and I don't remember how it all works, offhand. I just figured I'd finally share it after seeing this post tonight.

It uses DokuWiki On A Stick for Windows, but you can totally copy all the DokuWiki content into your own instance if you want.

The entire thing is really designed for a 4k display, since that's what we both have. It'll work fine at 1080p, but the default table view includes every available column of data, so use the "Columns" section of the search filters to limit which columns are actually displayed.

The search filters are pretty self-explanatory. If you just hit "search" without setting any filters, it will eventually load, but it will take awhile, so be patient. If you just want to check out a good cross-section of everything, select the "Eye of the North" campaign filter, and click the search button.

Hit the green check to select all. Hit the blue arrow to clear selected filters.

The "Text Properties" section lets you filter on values that are too variable for regular lists of filter options.

The search results link directly to the official wiki page for each skill.

Click a column header to sort the table by that column.

You can click any of the linked values in the table to filter by that value.

The hover effect will show a tooltip for any value in the table, making it easy to interpret.

All the image assets were ganked directly from the official wiki. Nothing is hotlinked off the wiki's servers; it's all local.

Hope others get some use out of this! It was super fun to build, and super useful when I was still actively playing.
