I'm happy to admit I take bits and pieces and change other peoples specs and guides around, I did that with Ahovs Inquisitor spec, I make all sorts of class video guides from Muspel, Geryons, Thegrinnz, Yobirian and other well known guide writers written guides, but I will always be sure to credit them and make people aware that I am not the font of all knowledge and credit these individuals. RIFT souls are pretty complicated after all and there are always people that know better than myself.
Now onto my point, the fact that you've quoted the dark water spec and other various aspects of endgame Inquisitor gameplay means that you most likely do read the forums. Which then makes your point invalid.
If the above statement isn't true and you don't read the forums and other peoples work, then I'd consider your guide writing method quite foolish to presume you can just dive in and know all you can about clerics without hearing everyone elses justification and variants of different specs.
I'm more than welcoming of new guide writers on the scene, but when I see something like this which feels like you've ripped a load from different peoples guides, then put them onto some monetized website and then to come charging into the cleric guides section like your the next cleric jesus, does hack me and a lot of the other guide writers off, as you may of already noticed.
Yes, I monetize my youtube videos, the larger majority of it is my original content, if I'm turning a written guide from someone into a video guide, I'll be sure to link it in the description and sing them songs of praise during the video.
I don't really have anything more to say to you bud apart from to have a bit of respect for the guide writing community itself.
