Alrighty... I have an 2 Int 1 Str Sword/Shield level 66. I am currently wearing armor. Skills goes as followed...

I'm currently farming, but I PVP levels from 64-67 chars, and most the time tend to die. Is it mainly because my skills are low or is the int/hybrid char isn't what it's cracked up to be. I don't care about leveling quickly, all I care about is PVP/PVE.

Any advice?

ur build is ok for a spear type, do curst hearts and change to heuksal also becos u r int based u need max imbue damage.. i would change to fire imbue and at least make it equal to your weapon masteries if not higher.

indeed as pointed out already ... since you are int heavy hybrid, your priority in spending sp should always be your main force mastery, and in your case, lighting.

also pointed out, fire imbue would have been a better choice for higher dmg. the fastest path for u to get stronger in pvp is for you to max your light tree and imbue. u could consider farming to max fire imbue later on.

finally, your gears matter a lot too. if your opponents have better gears than you, it's always going to be tougher for you.

Yes... you would do better in PvP and PvE if u change your imbue to fire. You will do way more damage.

Bleh, keep lighting imbue, it looks cool.

Besides that, indeed focus on youre force skills more then youre weapon skills. Get lighting and fire up for the nukes. Leave cold behind a bit and get it back on track later on.

hibrids need to use spear and only spear
as a hibrid u dont have the damage of a full int so using sword makes u have almost the same damage of a glaiver
u crits are bad since u are not a full str player so again hibrids NEED spear

get a spear and use fire imbue, u need all damage u can get.

while i think s/s will do just as fine. spear for the bigger dmg ... but since lower dmg than a pure int, you may not get the quick KO u are looking for. s/s just allows u to stay longer in the fight to decide your own fate.

put lots of int and hp on ur gear to raise ur mag. balance to do more dmg with nukes, then u could save ur build. Im abuot 3:1 int and i have a 101% mag balance with all the int i have. And u need to farm.

I agree ^^, hybrid sword dmg really isn't much...even in zerk they prolly cann't kill anyone.. o_0.. at lvl 80 i took off my garment chest.. -250 magic def... -700 hps... i don't have ice o_0 and a lvl 80 hybrid int sword couldn't even get me below 4k o_0
