Hey guys...my hybrid int nuker is now lvl 93 and I have 50 ice 52 light...my question is....what sounds better for a hybrid... 30 light and 70 ice for more phys defense and better snow...or 50 light 50 ice?

i think it's pointless to go 30 light. full ice is better.

Well it gives you atleast 8 or 10% mag increase in dmg...which is very vital with nukers...and parry too..gives you like 31 all together...buff + passive

10% mag increase is a big difference...it seems insignificant but it helps...

It sounds good to me, that mag % will really help you make up the damage of going hybrid and 70 cold will be enough snow + phys def seeing as you are hybrid. Sounds like a really good idea to me.

go 32 light if anything and get 10m phantom :S
but are you maxing fire or something?
100 weapon/fire/70 ice/30 light?

its ok build since fire makes up for not having full light buffs, fire nukes are better too
but at 110 cap and higher, do you plan on lowering ice even more? 70 ice is ok i think since people cant use max snow shield without losing all their mp, but you dont want to use too low of one either and die

I respectfully disagree, I don't see 10m of phantom being enough to really be worth losing the 70 passive from cold. I mean yeah maybe every so often you'll use it when your chasing someone down jobbing but they will tank the one nuke you'll be able to pull off 19/20 times. On the other hand, you'll be using the 70 passive from cold every time you get hit by phys damage. Something that is mildly effective like 5% of the time over something very effective 100% of the time seems ridiculous to me.

my thing was it was either 32 light or 0 light...
just 30 light wasnt worth it for me...

I understand that, some people love the option of phantom, I personally don't find it effective enough to lose the 70 passive from cold. Plus that saves a ton of sp and is still strong enough to do well.

if you want my honest opinion, drop fire. max light/ice. being a unique flower will not help in the long run. :)

What's the difference in the long run? At 110 he can just drop light down to 0 and raise ice to 80 just like everyone else...at 100 cap he'll have higher damage than light/ice cause fire does more damage by itself even without mag attack % increase, with this build he'll still get 9 or 10% from 30 light.
