well, imo a guide writer's motivation might be different, but when it makes people play and evolve the build - that is what good guides do - this is the greatest reward you can get.
An additional reward, whatever that would be would not change anything in the guide section, imo.

Yeah, i agree with mortimer_85. A guide-writer get enough respect on the post it self. (If its a good one). I am always amazed at how people can delve into the matter and share fully calculated guides with the community.
Big up to those

changes happen so frequently right now that its hard to put out a good, lasting guide because everyone just plays meta and it gets nerfed the next season. you'd have to find a build that's been around and just underplayed. game is updating with every patch and its hard to make a solid guide for stuff til it gets more finalized / balanced apart from the builds that have lasted many years with small changes like melee necro, melee sorc, axe barb, trap rat, etc.

Isn't trap rat broken as fuck? Genuinely asking, might play one next season.

It's really tanky and can be rather strong, yea. just overall boring gameplay, I think most people would say

I remember stumbling upon a Hermanubis druid in one of Laz's median versions. This build used reanimates as a primary damage source, this was at the time of pet commands still being a thing (such as Killer instinct adding a butt load of damage). First soften them up with tremor then finish off with reanimate herd.

Shortly after a complete rework of druids happened, those pet command trees got removed from the game entirely in favor of trap rat and treewarden trees.

Agreed entirely, and exactly why I enjoyed writing one. :)
