Hybrid Exp Penalty Affects The Entire Group

[Tenlaar]

I just need to point out that anybody who includes bard along with SK/pal/ranger like they're the same in regard to this topic is probably somebody who shouldn't be listened to. A bard reduces downtime for groups in such a drastic way at this point that it's the one hybrid that usually more than makes up for it's penalty unless you're in a very firmly defined camp with no ability to pull extra mobs.
