Hi to all.

I have an abandon char level 58 1:2 sword hybrid,yes exactly 1:2 with 74% mage balance...

i can reach 80-81% at level 80 if i spend all int after this...before deleting this char i want to ask something in confirmation,do 1:2 sword will suck in almost every aspect like pvp,pve,nuke and sword skill?

so i hope anyone especially who have reach 70 with 1:2 sword can confirm b4 i go and delete this char:p

TQ :D

well your nukes are gonna be very weak if u 1:2 all the way , i rather you turn Spear and int all the way now , due to spear with at least 80% and more are good in tanking

well, maybe he doesnt like spear cause he likes beeing confident, having a s/s gives you a confidence no spear gives. You can still be good, just add int till ur 80-90 and at 72+ ur mag bal shoul be alright and u'll be a gd hybrid trust me^^

to be true...u r rite IceCrash..i feel safer with sheild:p and also i have spear,light,ice in the making...so quite hard for me to delete ss hybrid,the prob is im afraid 1:2 cant make anywhere:p but i think ill spend all int to reach 80% after this and see how S/S hybrid do with 80% naked

I have played a 80% mag naked hybrid fire light s/s level 52.

It is a very strong character. I enjoy it a lot. I have been told many times that that it is to hybrid and will do poorly at higher levels.

However new skills are coming out soon so I wouldn't worry to much about high level, at least not yet.

So......... Did you not like yours? why did you give up on it?

I will say that the hybrid sword I play has a 100% mag balance dressed, at level 80 if you max blue you will only have a 90% mag balance.

IMO just get a high crit sword, and you will be fine.

i think that its theory, because hybrids should mostly do kd right? They should do more dmg than pure and pure int with it, so it should be stronger right?
I dunnoo...

With 90 Cap youll get problems with ur masterys a str glavie for example dont need ice. A int hybrid needs fire (phy dmg), light (mag dam) and ice cause of the new ice buff.

For pure chars its not a problem to go with 2 force masterys and 1 weapon skill. Pure int for example dont need fire. They do nearly the same dmg with light imbue and the phy % arent very much for a pure int.

So if u skill ice and light as int hybrid you will be able to tank much more but youll deal less dmg. (much less than a pure int cause u have more points in str.
no phy dmg buff = less dmg)

If u skill light and fire + weapon mastery the pure will tank nearly the same cause of the new ice buff. With 90 cap pure chars will be better then hybrids.

Delete char and start a new one.

an int doesnt need fire...With lightning,ice,Bicheon the hybrid would be fine

2:1 int Sword/Shield FTL, level 80 = no kills in zerks.

@ above
I see no reason why he can't get kills @ 80~81% int, I wouldn't del.

Either switch to spear and you get to have a strong hybrid INT or delete the character. With a light INT hybrid Sword, you won't be able to kill anything, because of the very low damage. Switch to spear, and you'll be fine.

I have beaten 2:1 int sword/shields with out my shield and my garments chest ,trust me 2:1 int sword/shields is the worst build on this game.

I'm saying if he abandons 2:1 and puts all int, he says he can get to 80% @ lvl 80.

By 2:1 do you mean 74% mag balance (every lvl add 2 int 1 str) or 83% mag balance (Int is 2x higher than str)?
