First off, I finally buckled and made a "hybrid" character due to all the hype
My first climb was just meh, not much improvement over my traditional melee in terms of leveling speed

This is what I had at lvl 55 (17 starting stats):

63 str (+3)
140 dex (+3)
75 Int (+60)
50 Vita (+5)

Using:

241ee (21 prof) 55 dagger
36 dex / 20 str 40 Robe
31 dex / 7 ls 20 Lightning
191 ee 50 heal

So I figured either my build needs improvement or it isn't as effective with a robe

I am playing a Ninja btw

My main focus is levels 55-71 so that is what I want to prepare for

How much Int should I hard stat?
How much Int should I have total?
*Those are 2 completely different questions*

How much Vita?
How much dex should I have?

What should my gear consist of?

Weapons:

241 ee (21 prof) 55 dagger
191 ee / 46 int (0 prof) 55 sword [This was my first choice but my friend still is "using" it <_<]
Other - Please list

Armors:

13 ls / 1 int 55 Padded Robe
12 ls / 7 Mana Skin / 3 Glancing Blow / 14 lr 50 Padded Robe
36 dex / 20 str 40 Robe
Other - Please list

Main Charm:

31 Dex / 7 Ls 20 Lightning
63 Dex 55 Lightning
33 Str Fire I
Other - Please List

Heal Charm:

191 50 heal
Other - Please list (Hard to believe I need something else :p)

Basically, I don't want to write off Hybrid yet. I want to give it one last go before I wander back into the realm of melee - disappointed, due to the high expectations people made me have for hybrid.

Don't get me wrong, it does show potential. But you need some very unique/special gear and some melee defense to make it worth while

I would also like some feedback from some Monks/Ninjas that have taken the hybrid route and let me know if your experience was similar to mine

imo you're lacking of STR and INT ^^

your lvl 55 sword looks great but it hard to see how it will work from here tongue.gif
imo you'll just have to try both weapons^^

140 dext is a lot, even on a ninja ohmy.gif

in hybrid mode ~100 dext is more than enough !
al
you gear is very good for a melee build but you can't have everything playing hybrid ^^ you'll have to choose

imo , try to look for a robe OR/and charm with Strengh and Max mana or maybe heal mastery ( why not ^^ )

I bet it is not that expensive and it may work better tongue.gif
more mana means you can heal longer and more str means you'll do more damage, especially on your sexy dagger !

true that I have no great experience with hybrids, but I saw several builds^^

This is my current setup

Str: 174
Dex:100
Int: 70

At 68.

I pumped int till I hit 70 then starting putting everyone into dex. My 1st build I went to about 90 int and after that i pumped everything into strength. As of now I like the less INT more dex build, so you can take caster and melee attacks better. I still get about 10 chains at 68 and it would improve if I had a better heal charm which I am searching for atm.
