All the credit for the blog part of the guide goes to Sunfyre, i copypasta'd the blogs after Qieth bugged me.

Enjoy guys, i claim no credit for the creation of any of these posts or guides, just putting them together in a druid super guide.

Cheers,
Autturg.

You are generally just listing mostly EJ stuff - which is fine, since there is a lot of useful stuff there. But you might want to moderate the amount of stuff putting in. The Cat WWS thread might be good, but is it relevant? Outdated stuff might be a fun read, but it isn't nessecarely relevant, seeing as there are other topics around.

I think the idea of a quick reference guide is fine, as long as we dont scare people off from posting questions. I'd rather not see every question with answered with "Lul, just go check the resource thread and read whats linked under your category!" responses :P

Finally, as a blog owner myself, i sort of detest simply linking two blogs, when there is a perfectly good (comprehensive) blog list stickied. Clean it up, and maybe we can swap this for the blog list (sorry Sunfyre :P).

[Autturg]

Thanks for the little hints there Qieth, i'll do some updating now as i did it in a bit of a rush last night. I would like to invite everyone to reply with there own links they have found useful, and i'll chuck it in the main body of the post.

You should also check to make sure you have current/relevant links too....that one you linked for "Feral Tanking Discussion" on EJ is 100% about Ulduar bosses and Ulduar gear...might be a touch outdated

Not to be rude but it's for the most part a conglomeration of outdated material from Ulduar on back, and has outdated blog listings except for the two that were recently added with very little description. There's much more relevant information to be gained by reading the current stickied posts and keeping track of the current conversations on the forums.

I'd appriciate it if you could name some of the outdated links? I've ran through them and i don't see anything that has been pre-3.3. I would like to see some evidence, rather than blindly accusing with incorrect statements just to keep your post a sticky. Let me know if you find anything outdated.

Quieth's Quips (Moonkin) - http://qieths-quips.com/

So, a guildie downloaded this addon "Namescore" the other day, and he said that i scored a 95.2/100. The reason for not scoring 100 was because my name included a Q without a U afterwards, and that would have given me a 100 score. That made me think that this is probably why people keep writing my name "Quieth", because most words with Q are followed by a U.

Still, my name is Qieth, not Quieth :P

Wasn't that what i said too? :P I do agree, a lot of the EJ posts are, by now, merged into one, at least where its relevant. Question is, is this new thread, this reference post, any real benefit. I do think that there is merit for some quick access to EJ and other forums that has relevant information.

I sort of wonder why you didn't just take the listing from the blog sticky on the boards, and then build on to that..
