I appreciate you for doing this for all the new players comming in.

However, I don't think you should be linking to specific posts/builds for each of the classes, since the great thing about PoE is that there is no one "correct" way to play each class, and everyone can play the classes differently.

I think new players should really instead be looking at a variety of builds, especially the more unusual ones, to get an idea of how the various bits of a PoE build fits together. Linking to the class forums should be sufficient for this list.

Also, another good resource for new players is the build-of-the-week videos on GGG's youtube channel. I think they really do a good job of showcasing the build possibilities in PoE. http://www.youtube.com/user/grindinggear/videos?query=build+of+the+week

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

I have to mention though, your attitude (which is common) about posting links to builds is annoying. Not everyone likes floundering around wasting time before they figure out what actually works and what doesn't in a game. Some of us (like me) have families, school, and jobs all at once and don't have 8 hours a day to roll new characters with, like the many annoying kids I see in global chat.

PS: linking to the class forums is useless. They are full of terrible builds from kids that have no idea what they are doing asking for "critiques". This is why I couldn't find a link to Shadow / Witch / Duelist builds that didn't seem idiotic yet.

Agree with it being ok to post builds

But I suggest posting builds with the least gear requirements... being this is for new players, those would be the most suitable for them. Once they've gained some items and experience they can then start experimenting with other unique builds.
