so, on the druid forums, i check out the stickies, and there i see (drums):
3 guides that are up to date (3.0.2 or later).
all the rest is just waaaaay out of date.
so i check the mage stickies:
even worse: as far as i can tell, there are NO guides that are really up to date (apart from some gimmick guides, but most things in there are outdated (like downranking))
so i check out the other stickies for the 7 other classes (DK's are obviously up to date(at least for 3.0.2), so did not bother for them) and these are my results:
- hunter: 1 guide, about survival raiding.
- paladin: 2 guides for protection, 1 for retribution, but external. some guides even talk about separate spell and melee crit ratings... talking about old.
- priest: as far as i can see, no really useful guides that are up to date. some talk about downranking, one even talks about the priest racials, weren't those removed?
- rogue: 1 guide up to date. there is one guide that does not even mention blood elves as capable to be rogues. and i thought the guide i mentioned at the paladin was old!!
- shaman: one guide, for elemental shamans. for example, there is a guide at enhancement that does not mention the feral spirits (ghost wolves) you can summon at 60(talented).
- warlock: as far as i can see, yet again no guides that are up to date.
- finally, warrior: 2 guides, one for fury, 1 for protection. one guide even refers to crushing blows. those were effectively removed from tanking, or so i thought...
now i have 2 pieces of advice, 1 to the community and 1 to blizzard:
to the community:
please, either update your guides, or bring out new ones. the lowbies will really thank you for the effort.
to Blizzard:
please, update the list of stickies. we don't want to know about separate crit and hit ratings for melee/spells, we don't want priest racials, we don't want blood elves to be unmentioned as rogues, please, just update these lists, but wait till 3.1.0 comes out.
edit: spelling and punctuation.
