[QUOTE="Tigris, post: 9571672, member: 7043270"] One thing I did forget to mention: In D&D you want to minimize damage taken. In WoW you normally wanted to minimize time (so number of turns). Sometimes you might want to burst things down, but its often not the case. Since healers cant really do damage, its often better to not focus enemies, and instead just do area attacks, or spread dots (damage over time) of several enemies, since this minimizes the total time you need to take all those enemies. Even if you might take much more damage this way. Of course focusing down also sometimes was important but it is not the only / the default strategy. Also cooldowns in WoW are not "cool attacks" there are temporary passive bonuses. Like "I deal x more damage for 10 seconds". Some attacks also had some cooldowns, but only short ones. How long did you play MMOs? Because in the 5000 hours I played WoW this was not the feeling I got. [/QUOTE]
