Yeah, I used to love min maxing. I wrote an addon for wow back in the day that would compare theoretical dps from switching an item you looked at by comparing all stats from your other gear and how it would affect frostbolt spam because I didn’t want to roll on stuff I didn’t need but also didn’t want to have to pull up a spreadsheet or something for any gear that dropped to be sure it wasn’t an upgrade before passing (for figuring out if it’s better to have 1% hit or 1.2% crit or whatever).

These days, I don’t have the patience to even figure out how all the different stats affect each other (in a different game) but realized that my character killed pretty much just as effectively when I switched to my resist gear even though the dps dropped by a lot and that min maxing was a waste of time and I shouldn’t worry so much about small differences.

But it did use to bring me joy (and tbf wow had dps meters where it’s essential to be at or near the top).
