Actually characters are 'snowflakes.' And people can make some unique combinations of skills/abilities/spells and be effective. But people aren't trying to be unique just for uniqueness' sake. We want to be effective too. Part of the 'skill' aspect of this game is knowing what is best for your character in your situation abilitiy/skills/spells -wise. Not everyone will always use the same tactics or abilities, but as long as they are observant, active, and using proper abilities for their situation, how can that be bad? Darkstar has done what I have too, fighting the same mob. I will put concussive blow II on my thm while fighting them to try to help break horns too. That doesn't mean I'm not taking up my role as a mage at the same time, but it is certainly helping my party with their goal.
