Category talk:Profession guides

I know these are guides, but what exactly convinces a newbie to read these long articles? Plus, they have information from the "secondary professions" articles. &mdash; Rapta   (talk|contribs) 23:50, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * Personally I would like to scrap most of these and just start over with a good standard template. After reading many of them I can conclude that they are some of the worst non-stub "articles" in the Wiki. They purport to be guides, however a lot of the information/advice is subjective or just plain opinion. And a lot of tips are random, like "take class X for skill Y, which interacts with your primary attribute Z". It's understandable for obvious combos like W/N Plague Touch, but others...not so much.
 * So yeah, to sum up, I think most of these "guides" need to be rewritten and/or cleaned up quite a bit. I'm not the best person for the job, either, as the guides are referring to PvE play via human parties. And I have very little experience in that area. Entropy 01:54, 12 January 2007 (CST)
 * I don't think it'll take that much to make some of these guides better. Though the monk one is bloated and just horribly outdated.  But then again it might be easier to just start over. --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 20:51, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
