It essentially amounts to a checklist. Either you breeze through the difficult part of the fight, or you get horribly maimed.Furthermore (and I realize this is all a taste thing, so keep in mind that this is all IMO type stuff) it furthers a very dull, checklist type of gameplay. Do you have tool X to negate monster ID Y? If yes, continue, if no, game over. Hell, at high levels in 3.X, it gets particularly obnoxious and basically requires arms racing unless you are specifically ignoring a very prominent part in the game.</blockquote>
