[QUOTE="giore, post: 8472952, member: 7033411"] i think the mania for builds is not inherently a bad thing. It can become a powerful mean to enhance player immersion. I recently tried some super cool ttrpg with amazing atmosphere and setting that were etremely light on rules (like Morkborg) and, to my surprise, i felt like they were way too light on rules! I ended up caring way less for my character and the suspension of disbelief took way more effort to kick in, even though i was really enjoying the rest of the game. Builds are one of the main ways through which players emotionally invest in their characters, a little build optimization mania i suppose can help rise the intensity up a notch. It's also one of the main reason people like me get so angry when some class or interactions get changed or doesn't live up to expectations...
