And is it not the point of a RPG that you adapt playstyle to environment? So if no second whirlwind available, switch to battlemage e.g.?
What kind of advice is that?
People have a right to want to build parties the way they choose. For instance, they want a party to be able to cover several bases, with each party member in a specific niche. They may have built their stats in a specific way that is not suited to switch niches.
They may have already played battlemages before and now want to try something different. Telling them to "just work with what they have," is useless because it doesn't solve anyone's problem at all.
