Well, surely people are still using some combination of two styles, for the most part, right?
Ultimately, all I'm suggesting is that the styles selected across the team are optimized. Any specifics are beyond my knowledge, which is why my post contained so many questions.
Perhaps it would help if you clarified which setups are currently being used by dg4fun members. I would imagine melee/range, followed by melee/mage, but I could be off on that. Are there many tribrids? Any range/mage, or vice versa? My concept of primary is based on the assumption that one piece of armor was being bound, since the hood allowance is fairly new. It doesn't mean I intend that person to mostly be using one style over the second, simply that, with whichever armor piece they use, they'll be marginally more effective with one of the two. Are most hybrids actually binding two chest armors and two weapons?
What are people using, and what, in your opinion, should they be using? Are there multiple effective setups, at least within dg4fun rules? Or is there still a single set of ideal binds, like hood/plate/2h/hex was for random rushers?
If a single set of binds across the whole team is optimal, that's fine. But if people are still using various hybrid setups, then it would be ideal to arrange those, within a team, to be distributed according to usefulness - that is, let's not have everyone in a floor running their melee/range binds, because then we have no magic. Someone in that floor should bring melee/mage, at least.
Also, as far as action bars... are you switching those as well as armor/weapons/rings/attack styles/etc. every time you change combat styles? Is that efficient(with regards to the average player, not someone with starcraft APM)? I ask because, even before action bars, I had enough trouble switching from 2h to hex and adjusting my attack style(if I was on crush, I'd have needed to change the bow back to rapid) - I rarely bothered to adjust my ring (contnued)
