Pure str or Hybrid str

[DS^]

ok, so we all know now that hybrid str characters crit the same as pure str, and we also know that bow is an hybrid weapon, so hybrid str bow would do more damage on mobs right ?

hi

hybrid is a character which puts stat points into both str and int

pure int = all in int
pure str = all in str
hybrid int = 2 : 1 or some kind of formulas like that but this build puts more in int
hybrid str = puts more in str than int also has alot of formulas 2:1 (stuff like that)

pure int uses s/s most of the time
pure str uses glaive most of the time
hybrid int uses spear most of the time
hybrid str i dont know not seen many lol

well i disagree
int hybrids can also be 3:1 int 4:1 int and even 5:1 int or they can pursue balances
INT hybrids can also use sword+shield
pure Str is good whit all 3 types of weapons
pure int also uses Spear and is very efficient at pvp or they can use both, Spear and S+S at the same time
about hybrid str i can't say anything because i have no idea

I'm running a 6:1 int hybrid s/s (plan to put 40 str or so in) and a 5:3 str hybrid bow right now (aiming for roughly 75%/60% balances naked).

Pure STR = highest crits hands down. Crit is STR driven. A hybrid with str heavy build may come close, but doubtful they will crit higher than a pure str, given identical equips.

Hybrids are effective at pvm because of the increased normal damage due to more INT. If you have one, you're going to sacrifice the other in some way.

Pure INT = highest avg. damage, sucky crit.
Less STR, more INT = higher avg. damage, so-so crit.
More STR, less INT = lower avg. damage, good crit.
Pure STR = lowest avg. damage, super crit.

There's all types of formulas/ratios for the Int & Str hybrids but they are all trying to fine tune the best of both worlds. For those that like more 'crit' they go with a build that has more str. For others that like a better overall damage regardless of crit, they go with a build that has more int. It's all personal preference and style of play.

Yep, they can. Did you not see the arrogant liquidsmooths topics? Along with the 70:70 bow topic? Go have a read.
