Slot Ghosting

Basically this would be the ability to overlay the slotting arrangement of another character onto a current one during respecification and enhancement leveling. This will allow for faster respecs as well as easier replication of an optimum build.

I'm sorry but I don't see this being very useful except on the rare occasion that a player has duplicate AT's on different servers. Most players I know make alts that are different from each other so overlaying an elec/energy blaster over a dark/dark scrapper is going to be pretty much useless.

Unless you have a SS tank whose primary is slotted very well and would want to be applied to another SS tank, regardless of the secondary.

I don't get the name, but with build saves Mids could be modified to output a respec file the game understands and then you would have a much better interface to work in.

The name comes from the idea of having a "Ghost" image of the slotting you wish to have over your current. I haven worked with Mids, but the main reason would be to accomplish the same thing without havint to go out-of-game to do it.

Yeah...the use of third party planners isn't going to be reduced any without a whole new interface.

Okay, I can see something like that happening a lot more often than what I was originally thinking of.

Basically, it would be useful to me if I saw my old build when I was making the new one, so I know I'm not neglecting something.

Exactly that. There would be a ghost image of your old build over th new one no fuss, no muss.
