I only played WoW for a short time but it never came off as a game where number crunching was as pivotal as it was in FFXI. I felt like positioning, movement and good timing were what determined the tide of victory in most fights. Compare that FFXI where number crunching made a hell of a difference in your damage. I could be wrong, as I stated I didn't play WoW for a long time. Mostly during Wrath of the Lich King.
