your example of DAoC - there was one correct way to spec each class, sure you had options, and that's not to say you couldn't function at level cap with one of the builds deemed sub-optimal

but the healer that went full pacification wasn't as useful as the one that speced up to the first spread heal, and then dumped the rest into pac
