Here's the deal;
A pure int at cap looks like this: Pure int but added points in str trough alchy. Lets say the pure has 100 points in int. And then adds 20 points in str via alchy. Then its 100 / 20, int / str.
A int hybid at cap looks like this: Int hybrid but added points in int hrough alchemy. Lets say the hybrid has distributed 80 points in int and 20 in str. And then 20 points in int via alchemy. Here its 100 / 20 too.
It is a difference between pure's and hybrids. But how flarking hard can it be to define the difference. Ill help ya.
A pure int = High damage. Almost no HP. Wich means high dmg and easy to die.
A int hybrid = High damage but not as high as a pure int but has some hp and def.
A 50 / 50 = Not a dmg dealer. Not a tanker. Its a allround build.
A str hybrid = Has good amount of hp. Not as much as a pure str. Does a little more mag dmg.
Pure str = High amount of HP. Is a tanker. Not high dmg without crits.
Get it? All builds can be countered. Go with the build u like and stop flaming about wich build is the best / worst etc. Because there is NO best build.
