ive got a lvl 32 hybrid sword/shield and i can hold my own ground when it comes to pvp , im about 88% magical when naked .. i do enough dmg with kd + stab and have good defence from my shield ..

even when i grind i use sword/shield .. it has saved my life so many times i cant begin to explin..

when your being mobbed by a lot of mobs u just cast castle shield and start nuking .. for those 15 seconds you can tank like a pure str blader

Hybrid Int Sword FTW!!

It's not that you're hybrid. It's because you're only level 52, you're gear sucks, and you're probably not playing the character right.


Cap, get good gear, then you'll change your mind.

Your character only sucks as bad as your gear.

Guyz ...

i cant believe u still arguing about this

THERE IS NOTHING CALLED BEST BUILD

there is only 3 things that make u rocks whatever ur build is ..

1-Good Gear with Good states

2-Good Farm with a knowladge of what skills to use and when to use them .

3- a bit of luck ( a crit or a block )

if u have those i guarantee u will win even if u r a 1:1 hybrid

my 98% int hybrid had nearly 3.6k hp at lvl 42... so all i have to say is, u didnt build yours right.

hybrid spear may be strong in damage, but u must depends on stuns to win. what if u dont stun? ur defense is too weak to take a few hits of the glaivers or a few nukes of a s/s nuker. so if u dont stun, u are basically dead.

sword/shield gives u extra protection from blocks, more defense. Even though their damage may be weak, but they will kill u eventually with kd and stab.

at lvl 70 cap, i fought with a lvl 70 pure int s/s and i am a pure int spear. Both of us are in garments and using all +5 gears. He nuke me for 4k o.O and i have 7.6k hp. so even if u are in garments, s/s nukers still nuke u hard. So if you are hybrid spear, ur mag defense will be even lower. Gets killed much easily by pure int.

try fighting me

I hit really hard in PvP. 3 nukes against most builds = gg. The only build that I really have a hard time beating with spear is a blader w/ SoX gear since they tank easy.

These are all pure builds. I do a full build which i have never heard of anyone doing. It is a pain in the @$$ to lvl at all but it is a lot more fun. I get so much more pleasure out of it. I am doing a hybrid bow 2 parts int:1 part str. I stick mainly with fire and ice but throw in a little lightning for the buffs and of course healing so i can res. I hav been playing the character for a while (in total, not including the week long breaks i have taken, about a week or two) and even though i am 18 going 19 only i can take down lvl 25 and even 30 monsters. It is a great way to go if you dont mind low progress in the lvl bar for a lot of grinding. I can take down the Hyeongcheon just by using ice to slow him down and fire to do real damage. The lighting and devil bow power is good for multiple attacks from enemies and the healing is self explainatory.


Many will disagree with me but i am having a great time on SRO.

Hey my gear doesnt suk.. I got int in almost everything, some are int 4, a lot of my stuff has str.., but what i wanted to hear is how ppl feel about their hybrids..my hybrid dont really suk.. i jsty feel kinda weak sometimes when i fight ppl few lvls higher in garms xD

hey, i think i know why a blader lvl 55 with a blade +3(i have a sword +3) was doing about th same dmg with kd that i do, first cause he has hands,shouledrs, and head of 7th degree, his buffs(defense and parry ratio) are ok and mine suk really bad, only the dmg ones tht doesnt... there the thing..btw, im going for 100/105 mag bal..i want a lil more power with my nukes and when ur 95mag bal hybrid the dmg u lose its not really worth the hp i think...Coment

thats why you go spear my friend

but i heard hybrid spears suk :s

mm not really. i 1nuke my mobs. hit 3k+ more than a s/s. have more hp.

the only possible argument that you could put forth is the sheild.

kd and stabb buddy? :p

come on mod do ur job !!

fine think what you wil but my friend was 2:1 hybrid int spear now he is ss i beat him he used to beat me mostly

Pure ints are gangbangers pure strs are lone wolves.

i agree

not true at all
@Master_wong come on start watching Xone a little more closely

Hybrid spear can be good when it's built right with good gear
Hybrid Sword can be just as good.

I'm hybrid sword atm. I switched to sword in the mid-60s for nachals and for defense in PVP.

I just didn't have enough defense against other nukers when i was wearing garms even and against str, lol I was screwed.

I grind just as well with sword as I do with spear. I two hit mages/shaman and shaman are red to me.

I still have spear at 60, but I deleveled the skills.

I don't have KD and stab yet since I haven't farmed enough sp for it, but I still do fine with just nukes in PVP.

wasnt xone pure if not xone is very int strong iv been 2:1 since level 1 i doubt xone would be nuking so hard with sword if he was 2:1 since level 1

Xone is hybrid, but I don't know his balances. Yes he nukes hard, but the +7 sword might have something to do with that

he nuked hard with that +4 one

I felt quite happy with my lvl 40 pure int 61% phy 98% mag ballance. This killing machine was designed for ksing, despite the simple +3 weapon
