Now that his name has been invoked, he'll show up. It's like saying "Beetlejuice" 3 times, I think.


Beetlejuice or Candyman depending on his mood

Here is where you try to squeeze any drop of validity out your own guide, before admitting it was yours. But hey, it takes a man to admit when they're wrong. Kudos...

but still...


Thankfully I don't have that shame. Just admitted I had moments of unoptimal/dumb player building.

This is why GLB should have came out with a guide a long time ago, have a guide, let users decide if they want to use it.

Just fwiw, this guide was released after the original outline of GLB's BT/player building system a long time ago. It was done (correctly) for player efficiency and simplicity. Unfortunately shortly after the "official this is how training will work" they double-backed and changed things, making this entire guide wrong, as 4x multi was buffed significantly and in multiple ways (more BTs along with a bigger training bonus, etc).

While you can laugh at this guide because its been awful advice since those changes, understand that it was made with the goal of helping other users (whom I do not even know) be better at this game. I don't regret making this guide, though I do regret being discouraged by the changes to the build system (multiple changes at this point) and not re-doing to make it current/helpful along the way.

Also worth noting there has never been a point in GLB where I haven't had at least 1 dot that if put in FA (and most were) got WL offers. I'm not known as one of the best player builders because I do not have shittons of dots and I tend to make some counter-meta dots, but don't mistake that for me being inept by any stretch.

Anyhow, if anyone ever wants build advice or discussion feel free to send a PM. Maybe I'll redo a guide at some point, though I'm not sure there are enough non-dpride multi's still playing to warrant the effort.

Actually as I have explained before, your guide was always completely wrong. Rage Kinard already had his guide before you made yours and I've made a really simplistic starter-guide since then, so you could have just copied or linked ours.

Wow Novus was right. Say JD's name and he shows up.

McBriar. He made it a mission to keep getting me banned for posting in FAQ because he considers this his playground and would get annoyed when I'd correct his bad advice. So I, the most helpful poster in FAQ history (McBriar has the most posts by far, but I'm second most and my advice is much better) don't post in FAQ anymore. GG McBriar & GLB moderation.

edit:
I only posted in this one because Wise linked it from the WL forum.
