Break The Meta

We are active mostly during EU evening (5-10pm servertime) and looking for more players to do smallscale.
Our purpose is to establish an environment that allows for memorable situations where every player has opportunities to excel in gameplay.
The plan to achieve this on a regular basis is to disregard the prominent 2-2-2 and class/archetype stack. The stagnant rigidness of current meta heavily reduces the chances for both mistakes but also opportunities to grow.
Right now, our goal is daily gameplay with regular group members.
Guild join not required.
If you are interested, just pm me in game @respecc / @missmut

So that means you are only able to play 1/3/2 range comps.
You can not play 2 meele dps with only 1 tank effectively vs decent groups.

Who says I can't? As said, I don't intend to go full theorycraft meta setup, as they are boring and same-y, no matter if it's ranked or full planned warbands. Memorable fights are easier to find if you step out of your perfectly prepared comfort zone.

Sure, just saying if you plan to go meele dps you are not having a great time. Unless your dps like dying a lot.

With three high rank, high skill dps you can definately have great time and not die a lot. Stagger/silence the other healer (in 6v6 engagement), burst down the other healer and pretty much just finish them off after that. Not saying it's better to do 1/3/2 than 2/2/2 but it is definately viable and fun. The solo tank has a sweaty job guard swapping and good 2/2/2 will snare+punt him out of guard range, but the extra burst damage with the third dps is definately noticeable.

Correct, mdps will have to adjust their playstyle a lot more than others, which doesn't mean they can't work. On order, 2 of 3 can engage and disengage whenever they want with stealth/vanish and pounce. They don't need to play full facetank with max support just because "I kill, help me out".

actually it does mean they cant work, both mechanically and mathematically.
But sure, to each his own. Good luck with your endeavors.
However tho, keep in mind, you are not the first, not the last and tl;dr of such "approach" is always the same - a) none of so called "like-minded" people cause nobody enjoy to constantly keep losing without a single glimpse of hope b) absolute failure for few evenings then you will have interest to gather&play yourself c) you lose interest yourself and drop such "ideas" and play the game the way its meant to be played
