[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6939690"] To me, how you build your character is only my business when it becomes an unreasonable burden, or completely ineffective. Someone who is highly specialized is neither of those things. I'm certain you still threw gobs of lightning at anything and everything and when it wasn't immune or resistant, you absolutely shocked the snot out of them. Personally I prefer consistency and socialization over diversity on a character. I like knowing there is one thing I will always be good at. Having too many options often gives me choice overload. I throw monsters with all sorts of different resistances and immunities at my party. Being lightning specialized is still likely to let you blow up 3/4 things, just as much as if you were diversified and could blow up 4/4 things. 3/4 ain't bad, even 2/4 ain't bad. So, if [I]in-game[/I] your character feels that excelling in one thing is superior to being a jack-of-all trades, I think he self-optimized just fine. It's [I]self[/I] optimization after all, what the character thinks is best for themselves and for the party (if they consider the party at all). [/QUOTE]
