I wonder if the blog software could figure out how to get Google Docs info automatically?
I'll fill in the remaining classes between Barbarian and Cleric, and give an updated date for one of the Cleric guides. CAUTION: If a Google Docs document is split into several parts, I only got the date of the main part.

Just leaving an open thank you to everyone who puts star ratings (e.g. "acute senses****" in blue) in addition to color coding in their guides. As someone with colorblindness which makes all the oranges, yellows, reds, and greens blur together, it's really really handy!

This is where I submit my guide, right?
I made one for the Cleric subdomains available via faith traits.
I also made a thread for discussion.
Bodhi's Guide to the Optimal Paladin & Antipaladin was last updated January 2015. Comprehensive (and pretty).
If you think there's something missing from this guide and it's sorely in need of an update, let me know what is needed.
Best wishes!

Some new archetypes have come out since then that deserve mention, especially the ones that allow branching into other alignments (Grey Paladin isn't a very good archetype, but Tortured Martyr Paladin and Insinuator and Tyrant Antipaladin certainly have potential, despite a couple of annoying bugs).

Could use some help here, folks.
Since you ask...
Occultist
September 2015: Of Wands, Cups, and Blades: A Guide to the Pathfinder Occultist, by Mack Martin. Comprehensive to that date.
September 2015: One Man's Junk is Another Man's Power, by CockroachTeaParty. Comprehensive to that date.
April 2016: Implementing Magic: VampByDay's guide to the Occultist. Comprehensive to that date.
Oracle
October 2014, Channeling the Cosmos: A Guide to the Oracle, by Clay Buchanan. Comprehensive to that date. Star ratings as well as colours.
July 2013 (creation date; likely not updated much if at all since), Brewer's Guide to the Jargonaut (Words of Power Oracle), A specific build guide (reach oracle with necromantic minions via Words of Power), probably comprehensive within that area even to this date.
August 2014: Oradin Mini-Guide, or How to be a Healbot minus the 'bot', by Grarrrg. A specific build guide (oracle / paladin), comprehensive within that area to that date.

Occultist{. . .}
September 2015: One Man's Junk is Another Man's Power, by CockroachTeaParty. Comprehensive to that date.
{. . .}
It's real easy to read that title wrong . . .
Oracle
{. . .}
No date? Is there a trick to finding one out in OneDrive? Brewer's Guide to the Jargonaut (Words of Power Oracle), A specific build guide (reach oracle with necromantic minions via Words of Power), probably comprehensive within that area even to this date.
{. . .}
Seems awfully short even for a micro-guide, almost as if pieces are missing. I wonder if in the process of finding the date, we can find the missing pieces.
Words of Power got no support post release as far as I know. Fifteen pages on one specific build based on it is probably all that's necessary. It looks like it was made July 2013 and the writer stopped posting in these forums in November 2013 - I'll put July in as the date for now.
The title confusion might well be intentional on CTP's part. It doesn't seem out of character.
^Actually managed to load the whole Words of Power Oracle document this time. Looks like OneDrive does something weird with JavaScript that causes partial document loading with no error message if it doesn't execute right.
I'll go thru the Paladin guides later tonight (NZ time). That'll leave us with only 14-16 base classes (depending if you count unchained classes separately) to go.
I'd count the Unchained classes separately -- the Guide to the Guide does, but Unchained class guides don't exist for all of the Unchained classes.

Dates added!
To avoid cluttering things up too much, I've just added the years, not the months (or the days). That should be sufficient to determine approximately how updated the guide is, particularly because we are just guessing with some of these dates.
However, I would advise people against judging a guide entirely by its date. For most of these classes, there are older guides which are far more helpful than newer ones.
In that vein: If anybody wants to PM me a guide or two which they find to be entirely unhelpful (incorrect, poorly written, and eclipsed by other guides), please let me know! I may may an "archived" section at the end.
|
|
Hi Zenith, your guide to the guides appears to be unsorted. Could you please sort it within each class, with the most recent one on top? That would be very helpful! Thanks!
I'm hesitant to sort it by date, as there are older guides which are far more useful than newer guides. In fact, for many of the classes the older guides provide a better overview and the newer ones are more niche. If you want to send me a PM with any recommended sorting for any classes, I'd be happy to see it.
I think the only working non-aphabetical sorting would require a rating. I agree that sorted by date is worse than alphabetically.

I'm hesitant to sort it by date, as there are older guides which are far more useful than newer guides. In fact, for many of the classes the older guides provide a better overview and the newer ones are more niche.
Absolutely. And that is in part because a number of newer guides aren't actually guides to the entire class (because that already existed) but specialized guides to a build.
For example, "The Hangover Cleric Build" is not written as a class guide, but as a build guide: it has "build" right in the title, and also has your tag "(Build)" at the end. Since this is not actually a class guide, why not move this to the Guide To The Builds instead?
The same goes for The Brewer's Guide and Ia Chtulhu in the cleric list. Both are new(ish) and neither is intended as a full class guide. I suggest moving these to the Guide To The Builds as well, that'll make the list much cleaner.

So this isn't exactly in the same vein as some of the other guides on your list here, but I'll mention it to bring it to your attention.
I wrote a GM's Guide to the Kineticist, which is all about getting a basic understanding of how a kineticist works in order to be able to run them as an NPC/enemy.

Added the Kineticist and Weapon Enhancement - both sorely needed in my opinion!
I've moved the hangover cleric to the Guide to the Builds, but I think we can leave the Ia Cthulhu cleric - it's specific, but not exactly a single build.
Thanks folks!
