im currently lvl 50 pure int, and going 7:1 starting now, your hp is alot better for a tiny dmg sacrifice, which when your FF with a decent weapon wont be much at all.

I had 8:1 int hyb spear and did very good in both pvp & pve. 7:1 int hyb has only 3 str points more than 8:1 so it's basically the same and still is good.

Isn't it better for hybrid spear to do 90 heuskal / fire and 60 ice / light?
I saw a build about that but I'm not sure

Well since ur light/cold/heuksal u need a higher mag balance then a fire user. So something like 7:1. Altough it doesnt really matter, when u dont like 5:1 u can make it 7:1 or something else pretty easy. Thats the great thing bout hybrids IMO u can change ur ratio's when u feel like it.
But in the end a higher mag balance preforms better prolly for a heuksal/light/cold/

Pure int spear is almost as fragile as a pure int wizard. And your damage will never be nearly as high. If that is what you are looking for, then go for pure int wizard/cleric.
A 7:1 hybrid is a little less fragile, but still fragile. That is barely even hybridizing. I think the strongest spear build for PvP is the 70/70 build. That is where you put in just enough str and int to make your physical balance like 69%, and your physical balance at 70%, naked. It is almost a 2:1 build but with a little more str. I am there now at lvl 65, and it is an awesome build. Can take on pure str glaives and out tank them, and out damage them. And can take several hits from a nuker and survive.
If you are afraid you might end up sacrificing too much damage for survivability doing this, then just forget it and go pure int wizard, you'll have no regrets.
And yes, always weapon/light/cold for int-heavy builds.

I don't think so. Pure int s/s are gimped wizards with a shield. If that build appeals to you, go with it. If you want something with higher survivability and still good damage output, go hybrid. The more hybridization the better.
I am building what was 2:1 int s/s, but I have been converting it into something closer to 70/70, by adding even more strength. The build is at lvl 52, can still one shot mobs 2 levels below, and has very good survivability. What pure build advocates (I used to be one) don't realize is that balancing str and int gives you better tanking ability against 2 different damage types.

With snow shield, a pure int s/s nuker can usually survive long enuf to kill enemies. IMO, pure int s/s works fine, and hybridising isn't needed. A spear user should hybridise to at least a 7:1 tho.
BTW, dont get me wrong, nothing wrong with hybrid s/s.
