Please speak for yourself and not others Zathris.

A person giving useful feedback stated a criteria.

They said:

"Step 1: Don't overlap with other guides
Step 2: Make reasonable choices within your chosen Balliwick
Step 3: Defend those choices with some form of reliable and acceptable math. You can't base your choices solely on an opinion (Yours or otherwise).
Step 4: Edit what you have when it doesn't line up with the reliable and acceptable math given by others.
Step 5: Wait until the community has had a small amount of time to evaluate it for completeness

Edit:
Step 6: Drop the bad habits of continually editting yourself (without noting that it was an edit) and reporting everyone who doesn't agree with you."


And regarding the subjectivity, nearly every guide states why people subjectively assigned values along with the counterpoints that they weighed.

You misunderstand my intention. He does not speak for me.
I will take the blame for not being more concise, sorry.
You don't have to agree with me that those guides are subjective even though they state counter points, and it is up to any user how they want to optimize arbitrarily.

However, Zathris can grow up and accept that people can have different opinions without calling them jerks or saying they have "psychological problems".

And this thread was origionally for collecting links to character builds and handbooks for building 4e characters. When did this thread suddenly turn into a pointless argument? *long sigh*

In short, take it elsewhere. This is not the thread for such an arugment. I agree with Zathris's opinion fully.

I would like to recommend Armisael's Stand and Bang Guide be included in the Complete Collection. Maybe not as an official  handbook but as a reference guide. I might suggest LDB's Barb guide be moved to outdated if this were to replace it but LDB's is still the most complete.

Stand and Bang is more a build than a guide. It should be there under barbarian builds (even though it is hybrid fighter) but it is in no way a replacement for Appetite for Destruction (LDB's barb guide) which is still very useful for a player new to the class.

Thus my commentary on "might" and LDB's being the "most complete". Listed with the Barb builds would probably be the best place for it. Perhaps a link in with the Striker|Defender Hybrids to be complete, even though it's all striker.
