Didn't know. Druids are not all that common above level 20, and I've always been the curse-remover in any party I've been in. I should probably write something about that.
Quote:More substantive nit: The biggest weakness of the guide is the one you told me before you posted it -- it's so long. Readers, especially those reading internet gaming sites, tend to have short attention spans, and it doesn't take much to lose their interests. I'm not asking you to remove any content. I am asking if perhaps you can say the same things more compactly.
Yes, I'm aware. All I've done is basic proofreading work - RL prevented me from doing an all-up editing job on it, which I have significant experience in doing. What you're reading is essentially a stream-of-consciousness spew of every thought that went through my head while I was playing my mage. (Yes, I have quite the organized consciousness.) Serious editing is definitely in the works, and I think I can cut it down to size. However, there are RL demands on my time, even during the holidays, and so it may be delayed somewhat.
Quote:When you're at a point where you think you're "done," I think I'll have Occhi turn his editor's eye on the guide and see what he comes up with.
No offense, but when I'm done (and by that I mean really done), any differences that remain will be merely stylistic, and nothing that I'd care to see "edited" by anyone else.
