It's beautifully written for the most part. Could have lived without the swearing.
I would love to know where you can get revives for 20k now. I would buy a bunch.
Here is my main issues with it. You are a forum assistant, therefore your colored named lends credence to the guide.
I can't tell you how many times I have people argue with me that I
HAVE to take iron when I tank because Omni's guide says so. It is like Omni's guide was LAW. Now it will be this one, and Heaven help you if you decide to do it another way. People will be saying "but you can't do this or you have to do that because Aryvane's guide says so!"
So if you are one of the people who tells your crew anyone below 11 please take meat, or assigns knife now...our lives will be living hell again.
I may as well stop tanking for people because it won't be worth the hassle.
sad
But I never told anyone they HAD to take iron. I recommended the tanker take it because it's non-raging and one of the buffs that will ruin a run if it falls and stays off if whoever has iron doesn't rebuff.
The people who think you HAVE to take iron as a tank are more the likely people who heard about it word-of-mouth.
As for this guide, it's ok generally speaking for YM, though it lacks nuance to account for level differences and doesn't really differentiate between areas.
I could see a crew of very low level people running into trouble. Also the tone of the guide is too dogmatic for my tastes.
There's a difference in telling people one way to do things that works and telling them that you do it this way or you're an idiot.
Oh I know you didn't say they had to, but human beings have long had the mind set of if it's in print it must be so!
xd I used to take Div just to make sure it didn't fall. Since then I have gone to iron because it's the path of least resistance. I actually did have someone tell me the other day though that I HAD to take iron because Omni said the tank has to!
I also wholeheartedly agree with what you said that I put in bold. Everyone does things a bit differently...something I tell people I crew with who are confused about why I do this or so and so did that. I would never tell anyone their style is right or wrong as long as they are gettin the job done and no one is dyin.
I may not be supa pr0, but I must be doin something right because every time I log into Meebo people instantly pounce on me to tank or kite.
