What is a pillar post per class for?
It needs to be the center of the cluster.
A good pillar:
- introduces the class
- separates the specs
- organizes progression
- directs to smaller blocks
- prevents the reader from getting lost among ten separate posts
1. How to organize a pillar by class with a focus on clarity
The ideal order is usually:
- class overview
- what specs exist
- who should read what
- where to start in 80
- General progression route
- links to specific blocks
This creates clean reading for:
- beginner
- intermediate
- veteran who wants to consult quickly
2. Which blocks per spec cannot be missed
Each spec block should respond:
- what defines the spec
- when it performs best
- what type of gear do you want
- what is the progress route
- which upgrades weigh the most
3. Difference between macro view of the class and detail by spec
Macro
explains the class as a whole:
- papers
- variations
- progression overview
Details
enter:
- specific priorities
- tier timing
- pre-BiS
- critical slots
Mixing the two without hierarchy creates bloated text.
4. Reading Structure for Beginners and Veterans
The pillar must allow:
- speed reading
- quick consultation
- use as a hub
- input by spec
5. Replicable model for all classes
The great strength of the format is that it can be reapplied in:
- D.K.
- Paladin
- Warrior -Mage -Warlock -Shaman
- Druid -Hunter -Priest -Rogue
Pillar checklist
- [ ] Is the macro view of the class clear?
- [ ] specs are separate?
- [ ] does the general route exist?
- [ ] do the links for further information make sense?
- [ ] Does the text serve as a hub, not just a loose article?
Minimum recommendation
Pillar post by good class:
- centralizes
- organize
- divide by spec
- leads the reader
If the pillar is right, the rest of the series becomes much easier to publish and consume.

Always separate Pre-BiS, BiS by phase and final BiS
Separating Pre-BiS, BiS by phase and final BiS avoids confusing the reader. Learn why mixing gearing steps hurts and why the series keeps all three apart.
Include progression route for fresh 80, without assuming raid gear
A BiS series that ignores fresh 80s loses the reader from the start. This post explains why the route must begin from zero in an accessible, practical way.
Dungeons and reputations that help the most
Dungeons and reputations show where progress really comes from. This block connects both to the character's actual evolution path. See which help the most.
Emblem items that are worth priority
Well-chosen emblem items speed up progression far more than buying the first available piece. See how to prioritize purchases by impact, phase and role.
