Questions regarding hybrid spear and s/s

[Rac00n]

So, I'm slowly reaching 16, and planning to farm a bit. I put all int till now cuz of its advantages while farming and the fact I would like to make a int char. Keep in mind that I'm just starting this game, and I'm aiming at getting to 40/50 first, and see by that time wether I'll continue or not...
So, the problem is: I cannot choose between the two above, cuz of my limited knowledge of the game, and the higher lvl players.. So, could anyone answer my questions?

1) Which of the two costs less to build, in terms of gold?
2) Which of the two, with equal gear, is more likely to win in pvp?
3) Which of the two would be a better hunter or trader?
4) Which of the two lvls faster?

Thx in advance for any answers

With kind regards, Rac00n

If this is Hybird spear vs. Int s/s:

1)INT Hybird spear will cost more gold as it is more dependant on blues and its equipment in order to win (depends on your mag balance) so say if you are a 70:70 Hybird you will rely on your equipment alot, but if you were say a ??:87 hybird you would rely less on your equips. Of course it could be argued that the INT s/s has to buy a nice shield AND a sword, which could make it cost more. But generally speaking I'm pretty sure a Hybird costs more.
2)IMO the INT Hybird spear will win with equal gear, but as the caps go up hybird characters might become gimped b/c of the 300 mastery cap.
3)Dont really know about this one
4)INT s/s

1) Which of the two costs less to build, in terms of gold?
A hybrid needs max int on gear so that nukes hit hard when grinding. A pure int needs hp so max str? IMO the cost is negligible. With either character you will die fast without good gear.

2) Which of the two, with equal gear, is more likely to win in pvp?

Will depend on stun / knockback / knockdown etc.


3) Which of the two would be a better hunter or trader?

about equal. Sword gets the flower bloom skill that hits multiple targets, but spear gets mars when combined with phantom is very effective.

4) Which of the two lvls faster?
Depends on how hybrid the spear is.
