A Guide to Mages comment thread

[LochnarITB]

As a priest player, I'd go into a rant about how mages never cast remove curse, but that's just my pet peeve.

That would be a generalization. Not all mages party that way. As long as my little squishy guy isn't being pounded on, removing curses is second only to sheeping adds in my list of priorities. Silencing a caster is third with dealing damage coming in fourth in the list.

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.

While I'm sure that the guide can be cut some, I would suggest that the tool be a scalpel and not a machete. I think the reader that would more likely fit the Lurker model would be the one that would read through a long guide pulling out every bit of info they can. I don't believe that a Lurker Guide™ should be dumbed down to meet some internet lowest common denominator. I would imagine players referring the guide to others would comment, "It's a long read but well worth it."
