To the more experienced theorycrafters here I have a question that this post brings to mind for me. My guild's GM even does this to an extent to understand gear level (mainly as a minimum gerneric thing though).

Why is there so much importance on the main stat? I understand it is good and is usually the stat you want the most of but people seem to act like it is the end all stat to make your character better. I almost feel like power and willpower are equivalent but nobody seems to care about power. Even with the 11% willpower buff the healing bonus is still inched out by power I beleive and the willpower crit is usually very very minimal.

I know willpower inches out as our best stat but I just feel like people are willing to sacrifice a lot just to increase their willpower by an unequal amount. I just see a lot of judgement on this stat purely and I feel like its similar to judging a baseball team by their outfielders. There are other players on the field that need to be taken into account as well you know?

For me, personally, I feel as though the increase provided by stacking Power is rather minimal, and not worth the agony of crunching numbers. Plus, I confess that I like having a beastly primary stat. It just feels like more of a personal accomplishment (whether or not that is true is an entirely separate matter that I imagine we'll be discussing below).
