hello i am a hybrid i dont know wat i should do should i go heavy int 2:1 or a equal hybrid 1:1.
Can a 1:1 hybrid nuke?
If 1:1 can nuke i will probaly go it.

last time i checked, pure str can nuke if they got the sp for the skill(s)

well thats settled then im going 1:1 hehe

lawl he was joking.. a 1:1 cant nuke.. or they can but the dmg is really low. I would go 1:7 hybrid spear instead or full int/str becuause with 90cap it is really hard to be hybrid. AND PLEASE STOP WRITING ALL YOUR THREADS WITH CAPS LOCK! ty

wats better a 1:1 that dosnt nuke or a int heavy 2:1 that does nuke?

You'll probably get good answers here:

2:1 isn't "INT heavy". if you go 1:1 your Physical balance will be higher, and the power of the nukes is determined by the Magical balance, so your nukes will be very weak. With 2:1 you'll get decent damage with nukes (you'll probably need 2 nukes to kill a monster of your level, unlike pure INTs who need 1 nuke), and you don't need lion shout because your Magical balance is still too low.

2:1 is a good choice. 1:1 won't give you enough Physical balance to do do good damage with weapon skills, and no good Mag. balance enough to do decent nuke damage. You should go for 70-80% Mag.Balance for decent nuke damage, any lower is just too low IMO.

Just my 2 cents, but read the guides, they can give you a good isight of the builds.

for the record, i wasn't joking; pure str can nuke, but like lvl 6x will deal like 3xx dmg on a mangyang with nukes?

I agree, stop making so many threads and stop making them in caps lock! It annoys me too

hey would i b good if i went 1:1 and used blade?
And if i went 2:1 do i keep my int 10% balcance higher, but i would much rather 1:1 with blade.

no.

first of all a 1:2 int is A HEAVY int with 74% mag that looks heavy to me.
with 2:1 you do horible damage nuke and with sword wow your nuke damage is horrible.
a 1:1 doesnt always have higher phy balance it matter how you set your stats 70:69 or 69:70.

for a decent nuke with sword you need 80% mag or higher.

First of all, go make a new character and check the balances, you'll see that the starting balances are like 75% Phy, 50% Mag or something like that. 1:1 will ALWAYS have more Phy balance. You need to add INT only for like 2 levels to be 70:70%

Now, that aside. I don't consider it "heavy" precisely because the nukes are weak. "Nuker" is supposed to be a huge damage dealer, there shouldn't be such thing as a "weak nuker", but it's better understood this way... Anyway, i'd say heavy INT would be whatever amount needed to have 90%+ Mag balance, which is the balance needed for nukes to do big damage.
