It was a piss poor design choice by Blizzard that was at first touted as "Grand Design" decision, only to be apologized for a year later and relinquished. Allowing players to, in a round about way, pick and choose what they wanted. You were forced into using what the best combination of Legendaries you had, offered. Then later, you were privately allowed the chance to pick your own play style under whatever build you liked the most. The thing that fascinated me was that sometimes, certain builds gave your lower skilled players a leg up. Where the cream of the crop build was more difficult for their skill level to play at its best. For example a Hunter using the stomp build with Beast Mastery was far easier to raid with than it was to play a Marksman Hunter with an Aim build in a raid. The Aim build was the cream of the crop, but a poorly skilled player would struggle with it. Where if they just played the Stomp build, they could concentrate more on movement and pull off at least passable DPS.
Truthfully, the player should always strive to play the best build and get better with it. (At least in my opinion.) However, we know this just isnt an option for everyone and having an easier build available that may not be the bees knees should be something they at least take note of.
