Defender Guides and FAQs
I have updated my
DodgerTA's Radiation Emission/Radiation Blast V2.1: A Twink's Guide (DodgerTA) [I3]
to
DodgerTA's Rad/Rad (A Twink's Guide) 3.0 (I7)
I have updated my guide, and version 2 is posted. It is I7 compliant (not that either set was really affected in this issue).
OttercubDCs Empathy/Sonic Defender Guide (v2.0)
Marker for me: Update Completed
Didn't see Luminara's Sharp, pointy sticks and you! TA/A guide listed.
But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the madman!

Procrastination meter coming soon.
I sure would like to see a dark/sonic guide.
i highly recomend no one make a storm/archery, i mean sure great acc, but the damage is very lil and gets quite annoying when tryin to solo, i advise to stik with elec/dark/and psy, i found dat storm/psy is a rare but a very prominant combo soo i highly advise people to try it out for a quick spin. If u want to try storm/archery be my guest but the results will be wasted time and annoyance when tryin to do teams or even soloing, so i advise stik wit da good combos and dont try anyting dat will inevidibly suck or otherwize.
Not sure I'd follow the advice of anyone who can't spell "with", "that", or "stick"....

wot?
Based on the segments with proper spelling and grammar i'm guessing that the poster is writing that way as a phonetic affectation of "urban" vernacular. if you read it phonetically it sounds like several of my friends who are very "urban". (i use quotes for "urban" because the majority of my friends were raised in/live in cities and don't talk that way at all.)

I'd like to see a psycic offenders guide maybe using kinitics as a primary
I posted a new guide to Storm Summoning / Dark Blast Defenders:
CDN_Guardian's Storm Summoning / Dark Blast Guide
This is the link to my new guide. It's for Fire Control and Storm Summoning, but a good amount of the data on Storm Summoning is relevant to defenders, especially with some of the similarities between Fire Control and Dark Blast.

Here's the link to my Sonic/Sonic I'm currently playing. Like a twit I added the first to the wrong spot. C'est la vie!

DEFENDER GUIDES
This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Defenders. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Defender guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.
Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases (I1: 6/30/04, I2: 9/17/04, I3: 1/5/05, I4: 5/5/05, I5: 9/1/05, I6: 10/28/05, I7:6/6/06, I8 :11/28/06) - e.g., if it was posted in March/05, it is an I3 Guide.
If you wish to submit a Defender guide to the list, please place the link in this thread. We cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in this "Defender Guides" thread!
