Define "hurts".

I'll take a stab at what he thinks "hurts" means. It "hurts" the group because the penalty that they have is inflicted on the group. They are not as efficient in the leveling department. It "hurts" the hybrid because they are not getting groups as often because of the penalty. You have just hit level 30. You have not experienced a Troll SK at level 45 in your group, so you haven't seen any real harsh "penalty" towards your group. (In which I've posted MANY times saying hell levels should not be distributed in the shared xp penalty and only got one response that directed me toward the developers link following the release of Velious and no mention of hell levels being included in shared penalty)
Since I've started playing my warrior again over the past few days, many people have said that they cannot tell a huge aggro difference between me and a SK/Pal which makes them less inclined to invite SK/Pals from there on out.. and every group I have been in has flat out said they will not invite hybrids, and the only one that would get a pass would be a bard if and only if no chanters were available for a group. Say what you will, but you were playing in a different level bracket when all this came down.. no hell levels and the need for a well balanced group composition wasn't exactly required. Hit 40+, when the leveling is slow for everyone to begin with, and see how much these penalties "hurt" both sides. The only players we're hearing from are in the teens-30's brackets.. I'd like to see how many hybrids are getting groups 40+ on a consistent basis, especially seeing 37+ you have Yak capable warriors.
