My comments on amazon were not in any way meant to be a criticism of the builds/guides here, just providing feedback based on my thoughts on playing the build (and I am not very experienced). As far as i can tell the builds seem near to optimal for how the game is at this time (which does not necessarily mean they are powerful relative to other classes/builds).
I was mainly thinking about the state of the class in this patch. If it can't work better than the builds in the guides here, then it could do with being adjusted (I am assuming that the developers don't actually want different classes to be weak at different times/patches as a deliberate policy).
As Fumbles said, Chuck cannot play all these builds untwinked so he will have to provide us with his view as to best skills/gear/playstyle based on his experience. And that is always valuable.
