Let me start by saying that I’m not a min/max player. I will occasionally run the numbers to help me make tricky decisions but I don’t have to be the best in order to enjoy a class. I won’t intentionally gimp myself but being at the top of someone’s damage meter doesn’t factor into the equation but I do need to kill things effeciently. If killing, which a major part of what we do in MMO quests is too slow or painful I won't have much fun.
