Why do MMO players say "best in slot" instead of just saying "best"
>Oh the Sword Of MegaDamage is best in slot
You mean best. Just say best best.

Because it probably isn't the best, but it's the best in slot.

I dunno, why do weebs say "NTR" instead of "cuckolding" or "cheating" or why do weebs say "idol" instead of "pop stars"
>>
Cause the slot uses more than swords

If you can put the Crown of Anal Devastation in the head slot or the miscellaneous slot, it might only be Best in Slot if you're using it in the Head slot.

Because MMO players are cogs in a wheel. They recognize they are slotted into their roles to crank their respective cogs to make the machine work as intended. That is why they are best in their designated role. As they cannot be the best as they only perform a piece of the whole mechanical wheel. When you play an MMO you are a Megazord. Someone gets to be the head, someone gets to be the left foot. You are the best left foot.

This.
For a more specific example, lets look at FFXI.
Some classes can dual-wield weapons, but not all the stats from the off-hand are used. A weapon that is good in the main-hand may not be as good in the off-hand, and vice-versa. For example, there is a sword (Thibron) that adds a 1000 tp bonus to weaponskills, but nothing else. It's great in the off-hand, but kind of terrible in the main hand.

As for why games with less variability still use BiS, its just a holdover from the better days of MMOs.

You are going to have to specify which slot regardless
Saying something is best in slot doesn't tell me which slot you mean, and if you tell me the slot, you don't have to me it's best "in slot"
"This sword is the best offhand" is sufficient

bro is just spouting shit

>>725986754
Instead of just saying "best helm" or "best weapon", they say "best in slot" and then you have to specify which slot unless you have every item memorized(which youre supposed to because youre supposed to just look up guides on how to do everything befofe you do it so you dont have any novel experiences)

>>725986754
I mean most people say bis they don't say best in slot in full, and bis is shorter than best

Basically MMO players are cucks consumed by collective FOMO and fear of the unknown
