folks, who's tried it?

thinking about a combination of phoenix/fist of fire/blades of ice

my main concern is: shield or weapon block? maxblock would be advisable but lots of str and dex required then...

if you're doing p1 you can do anything you want, really
in HC i prefer 1hclaw/SS for hybridsin or melee

would rather have to sink more dex into stormshield than get 800 extra HP with worse block and lose 35% DR

still recommend against phoenix/fist/blades; if you have to, go Riftsin or Kicksin.
you can mess with Dragon Tail as well, maybe Lacerator MH instead of the usual

if you're doing spidersin/WWsin obviously you go weapon block

ty for help, but i definitely wanna use the ele skills, not riftsin/kicksin etc

with treachery and fade and storm i'd be at 50% dr, maybe not a bad idea

just afraid of souls then with a low life no BO assassin.

Don't use treachery lol
MA you'll want Fort or Enigma as always

TGods is probably a good choice anyway, stats and all. Can use that to help v souls

lol i dont want either of them, i play without using my jsp fg so cant afford enigma and forti is total shit for an elementary martial assa, mate

yeah it's atrocious for ele MA damage scaling, but you can probably use the defense on HC & it won't hurt to get some basic bitch leech scaling/FCR/armor/resists
odds are you'll be using burst of speed over Fade

if you don't want to hybridize with DTalon at all just use Ormus with as close to 15 15 15 as you can, I guess
Duress otherwise is probably what I'd go for, if you want a much safer setup
