Hi i was wondering right now i have a 2:1 spear hybrid, I was wondering is there a better build that does higher overall damage with weapon skills? For example, I watched Kaws 80 80 spear and he was putting up huge damage with his spear skills. Currently I'm at 78 9 gap and i was wondering does 2:1 Int hybrid put up greater damage when full farmed lvl 80? Or is there another hybird int build that does greater melee damage?

Very true but I'm looking for a build that has a good balance for INT hybrid that can tank and hit hard with spear skills.

if u wanna b a hybrid int then u shouldnt rlly pay attention. u should play by balance. also when u look at ur balance u should have no armor or weapons on (its called naked balance). for a hybrid int u should have around 85-90% magical balance and 50-60%physical. they can tank pretty well.
~Hope i helped.

1:5 hybrids have a pretty good balance, decent tanking ability and lots of damage, but if what you really want is balance either don't pay much attention to how hard your nukes hit like revo said or go bow, i don't know much about hybrid bows but lots of people make them to they must be decently strong.

Do you ever read what the person actually writes? By the sound of your totally stupid reply it looks as if you only read the topic's title.

IMO 80% naked...this balance will surely need to go light/ice unlike 1:2 mastery dilemma

while maintaining good phy and magical attack

if you want a semi tank, go for one of these build, since the still have a pretty high mag balance but can tank alot more than 7:1 or pure. also i would pick 90 weapon,90 fire, and 90 light as your masteries, and 30 cold for the snow shield

Very nice guide, so I'm assuming of these builds the best for tanking is 2:3 while 1:4 hits the hardest with spear skills?

Ahh, i guess i like the sound of the 2:3 build, since I'm getting rid of cold as the cap rises it will make up some phys def. Thanks
