He's not wrong. Taking multiple hybrids in a group has a significantly detrimental effect on experience. It is YOUR time playing, and if you're the group leader you can rightly make the choice not to have your time negatively affected by someone's class choice.

I've also grouped with 2 rangers and a bard in a group, and the experience gain was awful. People can play what they want, but shouldn't reasonably expect others to have to cater to their choice.

Halfling. Basically if you have brain damage do everyone a favor and play a halfling

can confirm

had 2 paldins, bard ranger in party once... was so awful I logged early

you were awful I killed you once then ran back to your bind and killed you again

I don't even know you and I doubt that lol

As opposed to people who call others "toxic".

Finally got my Ogre SK to level 9. Having spells/pet makes a huge difference. Hand my pet a halberd and life just got way easier. I may still start another character, so thank you for all the ideas. I did do a count of each and every race/class combination which I will post later if I have the time. In general, any class that cannot bind themselves were the least played, hybrid penalty did not seem to make a huge difference on counts. Top 5 played were Druid, Necro, Enchanter, Shaman, Magician I believe in that order, will confirm tonight when I look at my data.

Wizards are a great and really cool class. Decent crowd control, can get a lot of work done. People don't like them because they are mana dependent and don't get much to help them with that.

I love every class in the game but for my playstyle I wouldn't play a bard because of the sing song clicky clacky.

It's been that since the server opened; Teal too. You might note those are also closely aligned with the classes that have high solo-ability.

My very first character ever (back when EQ first came out) was a Wood Elf Warrior. It was horrible!! Don't do that to yourself.
