Okay, think I got everything that I wanted down. Sorry it is so long, just a bunch of stuff I've considered for a while that I am now able to post.
My thoughts on lightning: Even with my general lack of success with variares I'll take 20% with a risk of self KO over a flat 0% any day. It's dated and needs to go.
Frankly, if you can't master Variares, use Blitz and/or an MF-H :\
The track/tip thing: The problem with not telling them this is that it creates more issues for the moderation staff when people misinterpret that/don't think about it and then go and spread this through the Q&A Threads, the rest of us report them, blah blah blah.
Secondly, I feel our first and foremost job really is to inform, once we do that properly, then we can focus on making people think. I do actually want to see everyone succeed at tournaments, even if it means they need to be babied to do so. Maybe I'm overly altruistic, but I really like strong competition, even if they haven't worked as hard as me to get there. That's just my thoughts though, and I acknowledge the validity of your stance, though
For Stamina, I still strongly suggest we add Cancer as an option, at the very least to Phantom. It really is an excellent clear wheel, and there is a good reason it has become so widely accepted. I'm not fussed if we leave Bull there at all, though I dislike it on basalt, it's still a perfectly serviceable clear wheel.
Do check out the Duo thread (spoiler: it's probably the best wheel out at the moment) but I'm fine with it waiting, I just wanted to test the waters, and at least give it a mention. It will be on this list eventually anyway, of that I have no doubt.
Libra is well past it's prime, to be honest. Death is the final nail in its coffin, really. That said, I haven't got to the Libra v Earth v Death for stamina idea yet. But, considering its main benefit was that it was significantly heavier than everything else, a title it lost long ago, and the fact it hasn't really won anything for a long time now, I think we can safely remove it.
As for which has the better stamina of those three, I think it's Death, but I will try and test it tomorrow or the day after, just to make 100% certain.
I would very much like to see RDF added for defense, but I am aware of Arupaeo's request for comparative tests. I haven't had time to do them, but it's near the top of the "to do" list.
Other smaller updates for the draft list: 85 should probably be added to Blitz, and MF-H should certainly be listed as an option for both it and Variares, it goes a long way to controlling the recoil of both wheels that some people seem to find difficult to work with.
Kerbecs should be added to the MF-H Basalt TH170CS combination, when oriented correctly it is roughly the best clear wheel for that combo.
That said, I am perfectly happy with that draft being put up in the interim, because the current list in the OP is badly out of date, and it's kind of awkward to direct people here when they ask for combo advice
Arupaeo: Which two wheels are you referring to? Just because, if we remove it from stamina, we're left with Phantom and Scythe, and Scythe vs Basalt seems to be somewhat situational. Not that I don't think it should be removed (it should), I'm just curious, in case we should be discussing another addition to the stamina list.

), and it's not that important right now because of how formulaic most combo's are at the moment, but it's just something I think we could be mindful of in future, I guess? I mean, I understand asking for more testing and tournament results, but we should consider the fact that people tend to stick with what they are comfortable with, so these combo's are mainly used by their creators and the limited people who test them, as most people tend to test more formulaic combo's.
