INT Hybrid s/s (need opinion)

MasterForge · Post by **MasterForge** » Tue May 29, 2007 11:04 pm

Hi all! I'm a lvl 57 (just leveled

) s/s hybrid. I just need a bit of brainstorming on how to bring out a hybrid's true potential.

Like, how should I level my masteries? What I'm sure of atm is 68 for bicheon (for the double stab), and 90 fire (main mastery). At this moment, i'm planning to get rid of the 10 levels I put on the bow skill with the cursed hearts quest. I got 20 levels put into heuskal for the hp passive. Is this worth it? Otherwise those 20 levels could also be put into COLD for the physical defense buff. Right now my mastery levels are at 55 each except force, heuskal and bow. Any input would be well appreciated. Thanks!

Also, here's a screenshot of my stats:

I just want some comments on how this will work out on the later levels. I'm putting all INT from now on. Let's make this thread a learning process for all! After all, this is my 2nd char...so I hope I build it right :wink:

Here it is:

I guess my magical balance is kinda low naked. Haven't really looked at that. Anyway, no FIRE? that's a lot of cursed hearts and $$$$

I tried to keep my magical balance(with gear) at 95% before...that's because I misunderstood what was said in the forums about balances...didn't read the "naked" word..lol! I actually do pretty well in PVP...I just couldn't kill the 60+ people. Btw, is FIRE bad in the later levels? deleveling my current main mastery is going to cost $$$ and is just a big money waste.. :banghead:

Could any Hybrid Int (spear or s/s) post their stats too? I just want to compare. Thanks! If possible, naked and full gear.

I must have missed the gazillion posts about ice buffs @ 90 cap :banghead:

The best that I can do without much delevelling:

Bicheon 68
Cold 90
Lightning 87
Fire 55

I think I made up for the 329 hp increase from the heuskal passive skill through the screw ups I've made on adding too much strength. And Cold physical defense should be able to make up for it too. I'll worry about it after farming at 9 gap at 64. That will take looong anyway. Thanks for the info ^^ Hope this works.

You should do lightning 90 and cold 87, because that will be your main attack tree, while cold will be a defensive tree. Since you are hybrid, I would just de-lvl fire quite a bit (once you hit the cap or very close!) and go for cold-light-sword as the maxed (or almost maxed) trees.

Thanks for the info. I'll take your advice for it.

I think planning for the 90 cap is just wishful thinking. If you need to change your mastery trees when the cap comes out, at least wait for the cap.

The hybrid int I play is max fire,light, sword.
80% naked balance. 100% clothed lvl52.

At level 52 I would say it is the best pvp build 1vs1.
What makes you think your build needs work?

At least I realized that I don't have to level up my Fire as a main mastery.

I'm not gonna worry about that atm...I'll just play my char and farm as much sp as possible ('til I get tired and hopefully not drop dead

) I just have to read more of these forums...its really helpful
