Wait.
This argument doesn't make any sense.
You're saying that you're fine with abilities that are easy to switch. Okay, yes that makes sense.
Then you say, that it's disingenuous to say 0.1% or 1% if an ability isn't easy to swap. What? That literally doesn't follow. That's not a logical or rational argument. I'm sorry, this is completely proving my point about "People who can do math" vs "People who are cargo cultists/checkboxers". Either an ability gives some kind of advantage you can quantify, or it doesn't. A lot of these abilities, maybe most, are going to be quantifiable numerically in a fairly reasonable way. That means that it won't be in any way disingenuous to say "2%" (the number I've been using most), if they indeed give you a 2% DPS advantage or the like.
Now if you're back on PvP, which is harder to quantify, and full of people with very extreme opinions and almost no proof to back them up, well, I dunno, I can't really engage with that.
