Overall I think the guide is quite good, but why put the melee combat before the magic combat? The melee combat doesn't seem to fit with a beginner guide for a pure profession, maybe it would be a better separate guide for playing a warpath. I think moving all of the melee references would make the guide much more beginner focused and comprehensive. [[User:VANKRASN39|VANKRASN39]] ([[User talk:VANKRASN39|talk]]) 17:22, 7 April 2015 (CDT)

:I'll try to rework the combat sections to be more beginner-friendly. I do think it's important to ''understand'' how melee works without necessarily training for it, but those two things don't need to be discussed together, especially now with Arcane Blast.

I can't find any way of making the proposed stats work. There just aren't enough points. [[User:GEHAYI|GEHAYI]] ([[User talk:GEHAYI|talk]]) 14:01, 1 February 2021 (CST)
:Stats or skills? For stats you could start with something like STR90 CON20 DEX70 AGL70 DIS70 AUR70 LOG70 INT40 WIS90 INF70 and be fine for most training plans. [[User:ZHOUY1|ZHOUY1]] ([[User talk:ZHOUY1|talk]]) 15:54, 1 February 2021 (CST)
