why is everyone talk about pure int why cant it be 90% magic balance? atleast.
thats just my opinion
Because unlike Chinese characters who have both physical and magical on their weapons, Euro characters have one or the other. It's certainly doable to go hybrid, but you have to weigh the positives and negatives carefully.
I am a cleric/bard hybrid int (some STR) so my focus will never truly be on PvP. Survivability in a party so as to assure survivability of the party members is what I am after, so the build works for me. However, others prefer doing more PvP, so they go pure int. A wizard is designed to be the ultimate damage-dealing class, therefore the recommendations to go pure int as less int = less damage output, and in a wizard's case, the extra HP for the most part will not make a difference in PvP, or PvE. The objective is to kill mobs/players before they have a chance to attack you.
90% magic balance isn't great for a Euro wiz imho. With all the blues on my equipment, I am trying to make 105% mag balance when I am 90 (IIRC, max is 117%?), so I am still capable of dealing good damage and my healing spells will not suffer that much. I don't know of many hyb int wizards, so for all we know, you might have a good build; based on what I've seen I'm not so sure.
