Q: Which of the following terms best be defined as: “Foolish, rude, or contemptible persons who believe they deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority”?
A) Arrogant pricks.
B) Pompous asses.
C) Elitist jerks.
A: The terms are synonymous so as long as you picked one, you are a winner. Extra credit to those who picked C as the above definition is a fustion of the dictionary.com entries for ‘elitist’ and ‘jerk’.
Freshly eighty, looking to raid, and inexpert with my class, I discovered the Theorycrafting Think Tank at Elitist Jerks. It was gospel. I carried a papercopy with me from home to work and back everyday. When I had a new idea or discovery about my class, I would make an annotation in the margin. Frequently I found myself reprinting and transcribing my notes when they had overtaken the page. As my expertise grew, I found that there was less I could reconcile between what I found to be most effective and what the TTT declared correct. As the mechanics and formulae of the game changed and the TTT wasn’t keep current or lagged significantly behind, my bible was tucked in a drawer to gather dust.

That's interesting, because as far as I'm aware you've never made any comments, references, or update suggestions about the Elemental entry in the TTT at all (this is assuming that your "work" on an Elemental Best-In-Slot list means that you are indeed referring to the Elemental article).
