Should I Hybridize?

Currently im a pure int at level 13 (i only recently started, but i read up on things for weeks before i actually start playing lol) and am liking the damage, but i keep dying all the time, im using a spear at the moment. Should i hybridize? if i should what should to INT:STR ratio be and could someone point me in the direction of a build.

Yeah you should i think but if you dont want just change to sword and shield. If you have 68 str and 92 str when you are lvl25 then you will be a 2-1 int hybrid (2 int, 1 str every lvl).

No, if it is youre first character. Play around with it a bit and level it up. Pure are the easiest builds, while hybrids ask some more training. So I would say get to know the game a bit and then hybrize or start a new hybrid. Otherwise you might regret it later on.

i suggest u use bow in the meantime. that way, you can hit the mob before it actually hits u. and avoid aggro mobs when u have less then 500 hp, esp the giants unless u have zerk (kill the other mobs who aggro when fighting a giant, giant and non giants have same dmg, giant just have large hp)

also, use armor.

stay pure until you are really sure how to cope with a heavy int or something. they are quite hard to manage.

just wondering you are wearing armor and setting hp pots to like 70%+

when you get your first nukes you should be fine.

if u want yr character to live long from quitting or start new character go PURE.

i suggest stay pure until you get your nukes~
if you still dont like ur survivability try on s/s~
if you still dont like ur survivability and still willing to give up nuke damage then consider going hybrid~

but just to note int garm actually tanks magic mobs so the low hp wouldnt feel like a big deal

i say this cuz u can go hybrid netime, but you cant go back to pure ^^

at lower level as pure int use a bow that way you still can "nuke" your mobs
go sword shield when you got your nukes (level 30+) when you hit 52 you should start getting a decent idea what you really want a pure or hybrid. i suggest you get a sword/shield and spear but don`t level up your weapon mastery that way you can always survive a bit longer vs stronger mobs and make more damage with a spear while grinding.
