Poll: Gear progression, horizontal or vertical?

[SDaemon]

If they put in elemental, weapon resistances again, horizontal will be viable. But we players are apparently too dumb to handle that.

I'd rather not have to farm sets of resist gear of every element/weapon just to be viable. Especially having to do it each time a new tier of content came out. (Unless those same element/weapon resist gear sets were relevant forever, in which case we would be left with utter stagnation of character growth.)
