personally, i like to build to a concept.

I love to build characters and then flesh them out as i play, using my dialog choices and playstyles evolve the character as i go.


That said, i'm not a minmaxer or a rotations guy, so while it's more fun and i get some amazing characters out of it, my dps is crap, compared to the one million damage per second kind of builds that seem to be speed running all of the normal dungeons these days.
