More Customize Skill

[Shurrikhan]

Sorry, but this would be a waste for PVE. Customization never works. Someone will always find the optimal loadout and everyone will roll it. Suddenly there's no customization, just people being kicked for yet another way they can be bads.

I seriously have to wonder how many of the people saying this have actually done any fight by fight theory-crafting for themselves. I've consistently outperformed others at equal or higher item/gear levels when using so-called "non-optimal" or "shit" specs.

EDIT: (And I don't just mean that I was a better player than them. In fact, that was rarely the case. But by crafting a slightly more personally attuned spec, I had more control over how I could react to mechanics, could better stretch my ability to capitalize on opportunities or be less disadvantaged by deadzones, etc., generating greater total dps over the length of a fight or putting out higher dps on key targets than my higher theoretical dps contemporaries (each playing about as best as theoretically possible). Moreover, by crafting that spec myself, I knew what adaptations I'd have to make, at what points, in what compositions or conditions, and to what degree.)

The issue with PvE customization isn't even necessarily the effort to balance it. It's primarily the distance for the majority of the community between those choices and the actual maths behind them, and/or the adaptations possible to support them for a higher total raid dps.
It's not the "elitist jerks" that make customization all for naught. It's the ones who cannot so much as imagine an adaptation of playstyle that's not detailed out step by step, priority by priority, on a forum page written by someone seemingly authoritative.
