| The Complete Elitist Guide Collection |
Long time readers of the site will notice that we're not huge fans of promoting non-gold related guides and have turned down many requests through the years. However, this time is different. Elitist Guides sparked my interest because of I had never come across a guide that approached the game in terms of your class, which was a refreshing change from the slew of gold & leveling guides that have been flooding the marketplace in recent memory.
Many players overlook the importance of their character's class and how it affects their ability the game in an improved and more enriching manner so I decided to give their class-centric WoW tutorials a quick run-through. The fact that it's written and developed by a core member of one of the most progressive guilds in the US Realms was another major factor that peaked my curiosity.
My Thoughts....
1. What is The Purpose Behind Elitist Guides?
Some pro WoW players have already learned how to combine the powers of different classes to maximum effect, and this knowledge has never been shared. Elitist Guides aims to change all this, providing every WoW player with detailed information about each class and how to maximize their effectiveness.
Each of the 10 character classes bring something different to the table, with their own distinct strengths and weaknesses and players need to adopt different strategies to make the most out of their characters.
You will learn the secrets to correctly building your character's talents, skill executions and gear, and this is exactly what you will learn in Jason's guide. This aspect of the game is just as important as learning how to level fast, make tons of gold and this is the building block towards attaining the results you want in the battlegrounds or the end-game gear in the game.
2. What Can I Expect From Elitist Guides?
By any standard, Elitist Guide is massive. There is literally hours upon hours of manuals and tutorials that will run through the whole process of learning and eventually mastering your class.
Nothing is left out, and Jason takes you by the hand, revealing the smallest details about your class from picking the right build for every situation, knowing the appropriate items and gear for your class, its respective strengths and weaknesses... literally everything is no show here. It's nearly foolproof!
In fact, I picked up a couple of pointers about my Druid and noticed an immediate improvement in my DPS in my weekly guild run the next day. In terms of presentation, the writing style is light and easy to read with many detailed diagrams, vivid pictures and a clean and crisp user interface.

At the end of the day, no amount of showboating about your countless achievements in the game can compensate for the lack of substance or a failure to convey your knowledge to your target audience. I don't care if you are teaching someone about the finer points of Auction House strategy or the little tweaks that can expedite the leveling process. The content has to be cutting-edge, accessible and practical.
In this regard, Elitist Guides that does not disappoint. True to his word, Jason is zealously focused on taking the tactics and strategies of the top players in the world and making sure that it is relevant and applicable to every player. It reminds me so much of JMTC's gold guide in that it forces you to sit back and think through your actions and not just feeding you the correct play but more importantly, why its right (or wrong.)
Final Verdict
I tried really hard but ultimately I couldn't find anything I could realistically disagree with and actually learned a thing or two myself. As a long-time player who has been present since Beta, I believe that speaks volumes about the quality of the guide. As exposed as I am to the myriad ways of earning gold in the game, Jason is vastly more experienced in the other aspects of WoW.
He managed to capture all the detail I've always looked for in a class guide, and he managed to make it simple, accessible and effective, eliminating the interminable volume of useless fluff that is present in most other guides.
I don't recommend these products often - who wants to spend more money when they pay a monthly fee already - but for the sheer amount of time you save and the understanding of the class you will gain, you could do a lot worse than giving this guide a look-see.
For a limited time only, Jason is opening the doors to the complete Elitist Guide collection which contains a copy of each and every class guide at a 68% discount. Make sure to act now to avoid disappointment.
