I thought players were supposed to play what they wanted to play...

Frankly, the wiki page favors the "elitist xp hogs." The idea is that you group with hybrids that have gained a similar amount of xp, but only hybrids who are X levels behind you will fit in to that criteria. So if you group with a hybrid who is that far behind you in actual levels, they probably wont even be able to land spells on the mobs you're fighting, which is supposed to be the main draw of hybrids. So basically that argument doesn't work if you're trying to debate them being efficient.

People will invite a non-hybrid class that is 5 levels higher than the rest of the group with nary an eye batted, but mention inviting a hybrid that is the same level as everyone else and the exp sponge complaints come pouring in. The misinformation perpetuates itself.

I don't think I'm better than anyone. But I'm also not going to deny someone a group spot simply because of the class they chose. That sort of attitude is toxic to the community.

Relax my friend I'm obviously jk. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Joke was directed at the hybrids in general not you.

I can see why someone would want to maximize their XP intake. Complaining about not getting any raid mobs is much more exciting than complaining about hybrids.

The players who mock you for your class are bad and don't matter

I go out of my way to bash rangers. I enjoy grouping with them as much as any other class but its fun to trash rangers/paladins/SKs. I do it more to get a rise out of the classes then anything.

Let's talk about how much warriors suck, at least Rangers can hold agro and only have a 35% more xp pen then that Ogre Warrior who is actually only tanking about 50% of the time.

Bonus for healers: let the Ranger tank, you only have to heal one person instead of six.

Well, I guess that means I have to go /anon and not cast spells and pretend to be a warrior.

This thread is getting crazy about the Hybrid Penalty. Hardly anyone on here even gives a thought about it when they need someone in a group. If a Iksar SK shows up and you NEED a tank you know damned well he is going to get invited.

The Ranger will pull and the SK will tank. The SK will hate the Ranger for taking agro half the time but hey it works. And you will get tons of kills and that is what a group is all about. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
