lol azn .... It turns out ... My hybridsin is my favorite char, and then I saw this guide.



Guess what Im making now ... ^_^ . Anyways, Just curious why switch for foh is a bad idea.

Grief + Hoz = 4 points towards FoH dmg
Cta 3 / 3 + spirit = 6 points towards foh dmg

2 points isn't much but I think it would easier when dueling say, a blizzer. Instead of switching between fanat, convic, and salvation. You could just leave salvation on Weapon 1, and FoH with Weapon 2.


Just trying to figure out the negatives of switching. ( If it was asked already, I haven't seen sorry :P )

Just seems 100 x easier to just have FOH + Convic automatically set as ur weapon 2 skills ... Takes away 2 hotkeys AND adds dmg. u typically wouldnt FOH when ppl are close to u anyways right?

1) switching is bad.... i have listed the hotkeys i use for my char. i switch from foh/coviction to smite/fant very easily and fast. just practice
2) you dont switch to get conviction/foh.... you can use a 3holyshield cta instead to buff smite damage


this doesnt buff smite, im 99.9% sure of it

only the current +skills give bonus to smite, switch or prebuff doesnt affect it

you'll get raped by any good player as long as you dont have a huge char advantage when switching

How so? On switch, you actually GAIN resists. Zaka gives 50 all res, Spirit can give 80% resists. The only thing you lose is smite dmg ( which you clearly wouldn't need ) and your block % drops to about 60 . That hardly = rape imo .

when u switch u lose the ability to instantly smite with grief if needed (such as when a hdin stomps u or something)....the minor damage gainedfrom foh cta isnt worth the loss in the ability to insta-smite if needed (unless u see a 100% opportunity where cta/spirit is better - such as when u are chasing them down and they have like 500 life left so more fcr from spirit helps)
