so for all my #guildwars2 playing fediverse friends, can you all do me a huge favor?

I'm gonna be writing snowcrows' build guides for willbender, and I would love to know what builds (on snowcrows or otherwise) you think are particularly good build guides. Do you have any that stands out to you as a good build guide, or any examples of useful features in other build guides? Links appreciated :)

@pixel the specific thing that I want in a build is to know it actually works and for the advice to be both practical and useful.

Taking the metabattle and hardstuck heal specter guides as examples, the metabattle one was useless even when it was in date because the suggested manner of healing didn't work.

Looking at the in date hardstuck one, it gives advice that clearly hasn't been tested in actual fights.

@pixel what this might mean for a DPS build is that recommendations for getting good golem numbers aren't necessarily immediately applicable to actual fights.

@Lucinellia this is one of the first things I did, recommending how to leverage the strengths of wb to perform above expectation on some fights rather than just playing for your bench rotation. I hate when GW players get way too in the weeds about theory it's real frustrating lol

@pixel yes! Completely agree! The game doesn't lend itself as readily to metrics that are pronounced in other MMOs.
