Well, this thread has completely devolved into something completely unintended. I was gonna chill out and redo the guide at a lazy hour at work but boy now it is almost completely unnecessary.
I’d like to completely overlook the unnecessary name calling about how certain build/guide writers go to other builds/guides and criticize them, because the inherent problem lies with the fact there is a difference between a build and a guide.
A build is a package of gear, attributes, skills, and devotions to make a certain type of gameplay viable and/or fun. A guy posting a build can just say [BUILD] on the title and not explain why and what he did to make the build. Because that’s the point of his post, he’s not there to help you how to find out how he got there and why he made certain choices.
A guide on the other hand is a reasonably well reasoned explanation of a build. It has to provide pertinent information on the build, and the reasons why it works and/or why the author considers it fun. On the other hand, there are a lot of questions asked about basic information because, let’s face it, guide writers and the rest of the population that has completed the game on Ultimate at least once are a very small minority.
If your guide allows a player to do better at the game, i.e say complete Elite and face Ultimate, then more people are going to play this game longer and they’re going to get their friends to play too. I’m not saying “help the devs by helping the newbies”, but let’s make the game more popular. It is already popular, and I can understand that there are people who ask for a step by step per 10levels leveling guide, which honestly seems a bit extreme for me, but a brief reasonable explanation should be okay right?
To someone who said a WoW guide doesn’t need to have videos and therefore shouldn’t be needed for GD either - sorry but I don’t see why a WoW guide needs a video for explaining rotations. In the end there are maybe 1 or 2 optimized rotation priority lists for a character like say Fury Warrior. But there are dozens of builds for, say a Commando, and the builds have a lot more complexity than a WoW guide, so yes a video is more relevantly important for a GD guide than for a WoW guide. Whether it’s mandatory or not it’s up to you, and I apologize if my guide implied that.
That’s all I’m going to say on the subject. I’ll come up with a v2.0 guide based on some of the reasonable suggestions made by posters in this thread.
To be fair, if the namecalling goes on and on I’d like for this thread to be closed and further, hopefully a more reasonable discussion to be made in another thread.
And yes, no more drunk posting for me 
Just hope to see more hc related builds in the future, like phy. warder or cadence witchblade
