"This is a guide that sticks to the point and delivers the strategy crisply and neatly. It lists the kill order of adds and the boss and the roles of the different classes. Also, there is a diagram that is not highly stylised, but good enough to understand how the five groups are to be positioned."

Mannas pointed this out a few weeks ago heh
