I will say though, despite what you read on these forums, in the game itself, leveling up, even on a 10 year old server, I find that almost all the people i encounter are super nice, friendly, curteous, and I don't expect many would shun hybrids (even if they are themselves min maxing a bit they won't let it dictate who they group with).

I wish I could agree here, but I simply cannot. It's already happened on Blue - groups leaving their tank spot open til they find a Warrior or Monk (refusing several Knights)

How often do you see Druids and Wizards get invited to high-level groups on Blue? (Hint - they DONT!) And those classes are simply non-ideal, not actively slowing the progress of others.

I've seen groups holding a spot open for an hour or more just waiting for the "perfect" class.

IMO levels 1-50 aren't too bad. Leveling from 51-60 however, with the 40% penalty, is an absolutely crying chore!

But by 51+ (hell, actually much lower if you are in a dungeon), you can make your group shine and be one of the most important members. Use your utility to constantly have a mob on you and the xp flowing in. No one is going to begrudge the geared hybrid in a balanced dungeon group.

Lazy hybrid that wants to play just as a autoattack bot and weak damage add? worthless and not playing to the strengths their xp penalty warrants.

Which kind of brings up another point: hybrids do NOT STACK well. You don't need more than one. You are almost always better off with anything else in place of that 2nd hybrid.

So we've gone full circle and rounded it down to pally vs ranger again?
