LOL you didn’t make me hungry but you made me want to watch Great Teacher Onizuka again for his wonderful horror story related to “siu mai.” I assumed this was pronounced “shu mai.” If not, oh well still want to watch GTO lol thanks.

I’d like to think I’m at a happy medium somewhere between the two… but realistically I know I’m more of a Perfectionist.

I’m definitely a perfectionist. I have multiple sets of healing gear for all three of my healers. While, I do agree with Matt about passing gear to the player who will receive the bigger upgrade, I don’t see how healers can attain a cap. With current content as easy as it is, isn’t the only reason to raid to get the best available gear and min/max in order to make Ulduar easier. All three of my healers are decked out in 213/226 gear, but when I take them to PTR, I still have quite a difficult time healing the hard mode of many bosses, or even the easy mode of a boss like Hodir. What I’m trying to say is that no matter how easy current content is, even healers could always use better gear. If you don’t believe me, try solo healing 2 drake 8-man Sarth.

Dude, I’ve been following your blog for some time but this topic just made me LOL epicly! I guess I fall somewhere in between. By no means do I have the best stuff but I have decent sets healing/regen/haste etc etc. I guess different guilds need different sort of people. If your roster is big, then you would need more slackers so more loot can float around; whereas, if you have a tight-knit raiding roster, it’s fine to deck out each one of them.

Tanks with multiple sets? Yes please. As a GM and also MT I do request my tanks to have multiple sets.

It’s interesting to me that you consider gearpassing as slacking. Even though it holds back your own gearprogression it does help the guild more.

But I found it amusing because I’ve also noted that healers are indeed the only class that often pass gear to others:P

Your slacker sounds a lot like a ’satisficer’: http://www.adamduvander.com/simple/are-you-a-maximizer-or-satisficer

Once you’ve got something that’s good enough, you’re happy, rather than needing to get the absolute best in slot, even if only a marginal upgrade. Satisficing is the route to sanity and hapiness IMO!
