Quote:Something I've been wondering about lately is a good question that is asked: Is It Too Much? It refers to hybrids, and the synergy they bring, though also wanders along synergy in general. Right now, there are some very hard and fast synergistic groups, and some folks that can't even really compete without some level of synergy (Hello WF to melee...). This can make life as an RL really hard, especially when making up a raid. There are a lot of ramifications of either reducing or increasing synergy to consider, as it's already a weighty subject.
Oh lord, group makeup discussions. :wacko: They often make my head spin in our raids, and it doesn't help we often run with a fairly "weird" composition. It gets pretty hard trying to make it all work, and one of the comments is completely correct: there's usually no perfect, awesome jig-saw solution. *sigh*
Nice comment though, Mirajj:D I've been trying to lobby for a GoA group (resto-feral-2x hunter-spare, usually mage) for a while now, but have yet to see it in action for us:( The RL's addicted to his +crit I think:P Keeps yanking the feral into the melee group, usually bumping a warrior for it (warrior without WF. *sigh*).
Does anybody know of a EJ-style compendium for group makeups that I can link to the RL? Sorta lay down the law, like "make this group - brief blurb why" instead of discussions like these about the merits of various hybrids. Don't get me wrong, I wrote up a pages long discussion on hybrids in the officer forum and get the sense nobody really looked at it; they might respond better to an "established" source like EJ, or a post that tells them what to do without going in depth into why, I don't know.
