90% Magical Balance Or Pure Int

I was Wondering what to do.
EDIT : Would a 85% - 90% magical balance when naked be better suitable than a Pure int
To have some HP as well as massive nuking?
I prefer Bicheon over Heuksal and i was wondering if i'm a 90% magical balance nuker. AND I DO NOT THINK I'LL PUT Heuk PASSIVE IN.
80 Bicheon
80 Fire
80 Lightning
Do i just add Int when i level when i'm below 90% balance and add str when i'm above 91+?
Or is there a set build for this like 1:5 or something.
Please help.

just to comment on your masteries....if you're going to have 80 light, 80 fire, and 80 bicheon, why not use your remaining 60 mastery levels for the spear passive?

Hybrid ints are very different then pure in how they pvp and grind. I have played a lvl 52 sword with 80%mag balance naked and 99%mag clothed. Instead of trying to 1 hit mobs you will use 2-3 skills when grinding. You will be able to grind on orange and red mobs(without dying) as long as you have decent gear. A hybrid sword is an excellent build for pvp, well atleast at level 52. I don't know about higher levels, but I doubt it will change much.
My grinding experience at level 52 with a 9 skill gap (farming) with an sos+4 sword.
Fire nuke>light nuke>knockdown to kill a yeti a lvl 59 red mob. About .75 sp per kill without a gt.
In pvp
fighting a bladder is a pot war
Pure int spear nukers are dead before they get there 3 attack off.
Sword about a 50% chance either way, depends on knock down.
50% chance against glavie.
Remember my experience is with a 9 gap

What ratio hybrid are you? And what do you wear? Protector?

It was a friends character not mine unfortunately. I don't remember what the phys balance was but the mag was 80% naked, and something like 98ish% with blues. It also had a lot of str blues on all the gear as well, and I think 300hp from head chest and pants. SOS rings, pants and shoulder. Everything else +3. Around 4500HP fully clothed.
Umm just to be fair vigors were always on the bar during pvp.
And nuke damage is about 2k less then a pure. But I dont know how much of that is from the 9 gap or from being hybrid.
Also most people dont have such good blues, but it was a farming set of gear. I am sure 20%more mag balance makes a huge difference in nukability.
At lvl 80 you cant just add 20% to your mag balance with gear, only 10%. So perhaps heading for more like a 85% at the cap might be better, im not sure.

if u prefer bicheon over heuksal, then go pure int w/ it, i've met hybrid s/s & they barely scratch my armor

90% balance is good for bicheon, but too big for heuksal. Spears should have below 85% mage balance.
But with a sword, you are fine with 90%, but pure INT also works.

I have battled and killed pure str bladders that cant do more than scratch me.
You have to be more specific

hybrid or int .. it's a often asked question and will never be answered ... i think it's everyone own opinion...
i'm a 69 int hybrid (s&s and heuksal)
mag balance: 103% ( equiped )
phy balance: 68% ( equiped )
I'm nearly 2:1 int but will now only go on int.
My experience is that a nice equipement is everything ...
Pure or hybrid the ones with the nicer equipment will win.
I got a really nice equipment and kill nearly everyone on my
level to 2 levels above with my dual weapons
