You don't risk misleading people because if you write nonsense people will tell you honestly and you can fix it.

Well if you make a guide on armlet battlefury crystal maiden then at some point you will have some feedback that's my point. So you can't mislead anyone.

I'm not flaming you I'm saying that you should write without fear of saying ******** because if you do people will tell you in the feedback and you can fix it.

I try to write my guide as slow as possible so I can absorb more information before the guide is published.

Just don't write ******** and give out some logical explanation and I think that's fine.

The only way to get better at making guides is to keep making them.

If you want your guide to be the best, consider what small snippets of information you have that no one else seems to have put into a guide. I don't know about others, but the more useful information I find in a guide, including little tips and tricks to the Heroes Abilties, makes me more likely to upvote it.
