The Best

Introduction

"The best" is a very subjective phrase and people typically use it when they're looking for a quick and easy answer for what to choose without doing proper research or figuring it out for themselves. Needless to say, just because there are multiple options or choices when it comes to setting or decision does not necessarily infer that there is a best way to go about it.

Main Examples

What is...


...the best Window Layout?
...the best resolution to play at?
...the best CPU Strategy to choose?
...the best way to go about setting up VideoFX?
...the best DPS rotation?
...the best class to play?
...the best game to multibox?
...the best way to heal my party?

The answers to any of the above questions can only be answered by the person asking them because only they know what they like the best. Instead of "the best," people may want to, instead, ask for which method is the "most efficient" way to do something; but even this doesn't cover everything.

What is the...

...most efficient Window Layout?
...most efficient resolution to play at?
...most efficient CPU Strategy to choose?
...most efficient way to go about setting up VideoFX?
...most efficient DPS rotation?
...most efficient class to play?
...most efficient game to multibox?
...most efficient way to heal my party?

The examples listed in red don't make sense when interchanging the two phrases because their answers are still entirely dependent on the user/player; but the examples listed in green make much more sense and can most likely be answered.
