[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 4988943, member: 4720"] I think we just have to agree to disagree about what we find fun in the details of gaming. I like tactics that make a difference, not preparation trumping everything else. Also... keeping around the best weapon I've found, plus the best thing with Ghost Touch, plus the best thing with a different damage type (ignoring the fact that many "slashing" weapons were just as often "bludgeoning" weapons when used for real), plus the gods only know what else.... That's how I had to optimize my tank in WoW. And it's not fun. I need a max survivability weapon and a max threat weapon. And I have 4 pairs of pants, max Effective Health, max avoidance, max Block value for certain fights and high threat, and a dps set for farming or when I overgear so much that even the block pants are no good. Ick. And that leaves aside that I was a paladin and also needed healing pants. No wonder I actually became a happier person when I stopped raiding. I play games, video or PnP, to be a hero. Cinematic action and intermittent badassery preferred. Micromanaging inventory.... to be avoided at all costs. If I want to micromanage inventory.... well that's one of the prereqs to keeping the lab running remotely smoothly at work. I get enough of whatever that gives people (migraines, IME) IRL. [/QUOTE]
