After new skills, Pure STR vs. Pure INT vs. Hybrid

Fyre · **Joined:** May 2007 **Posts:** 20 **Location:** us

I've heard about the new skills coming out for max leveled players, so I have a question.

In purely a PvP sense, who do you think will come out on top at the max level with those new skills everyone talks about: Pure INT, Pure STR, or hybrids?

well, I have no idea but there are people saying that pure str bow will do very well. Because they are gonna have stun+kb

but MAYBE I think it still will be pure str glavier or blader

Hybrid INT spears will be strong. Very strong.

heavy hybrids (2:1 or close to it) will get stronger and stronger each new skill and level.
I should try contacting some people on redsea asking if li_ke_xuan added more str to his hybrid that would be very interesting if it was that will be one of the few hybrids with sosun gear vs sosun pure str and sosun pure int.

Hybrid s/s won't even scratch a glaive with it's miserably low damage. You need to be almost pure INT to be succesful as a swordsman. Spears can hybridize, however.

+1 hybrid s/s plz.. that can't even get a scratch on pile of butter. Worthless build.
Imo pure int will be the best.. cause with the new ice skills pure int will be able to tank .. even against pure str's.. ^^

and for everybody who didn't see the video I'm talking about...check out the pure int at about 3min in the vid... it takes 2 archers and 2 bladers to take him down. That's pretty sweet.. i wouldn't go against 4 pure str's right now..^^

And after pure int.. or maybe even above.. will come pure str bow... cause of the new skills for that.. insane .. i'd be so happy if i was that build.. they use to be p.ussy's.. but they will rise.. after the new skills..right to the top ^^

Hybrids are gonna win. High damage + high hp + high mp + mana shield + block + KD = Total ownage.

People who say sword hybrid is weak obviously never saw me

at lvl 90 cap, ull see hybrid spears that arent rich geting outdamaged quite easily, + dont forget there will be 4 stabs, thats about, lets say, 8k+? with new kd 5k+? i presume?
Without beeing touched. Beeing able to tank.

Ints will have to sacrifice weapon/fire tree though. And if you think hybrid s/s is bad, well, how many have you seen? Cuz there are some great s/s hybrids out there.

yeah abviously not..lol

but your little calculation has a few flaws, here is a little correction

little higher dmg + little higher hp + little higher mp +mana shield + block + KD = average build that's not real good in anything.

Rainigul · **Joined:** Mar 2007 **Posts:** 4490 **Location:**

decently higher dmg + little higher hp + very large mp +mana shield + block + KD = Very Very good, although it's not necessarily the best, though still better than everything except for gms

well i'm just gonna say: that's your opion and I haven't seen anybody on Rome server that convinced me to even think slightly in that direction. But apparently there are ppl that know how to build and play a hybrid, I just haven't seen any. :roll:

If it's a group battle pure int will pwn..

1v1 I think it'll be exciting, outcome will differ every time.

maybe on 1 hit. But if you take the average then it won't cause archers do a lot of crit and pure str crit are higher....

not sure about this though.. just what the theory says^^

Guy in the vid. looks like a glavier to me =|

Besides, after update prob bow. I can kill most of the people i fight against, give me kb and stun and I will whoop yoo ass =)

Da_Realest · **Joined:** Apr 2006 **Posts:** 2435 **Location:**

Any type of bow build will benefit from the update more than any other build.

Heavy str hybrid bows will be one of the biggest threats to strs since they can now stun and knockback with a higher normal damage than a pure str bow. New books of anti devil also means higher chances of criticals.

I hope you're not being sarcastic, though I'm 90% sure you are.
Hybrid swords are awesome.

well yeah most of them suck I'll give you that, but Xone and _Medea_ on Tibet were incredible, with fairly good gear and pretty pimped balances.
