Three Basic Types of Characters
Strength = high hp, low magic defense, high physical defense, emphasis on physical damage, low magic attack capability. Overall damage is low with an occasional critical which is roughly double normal damage.
Intelligence = Exact opposite of strength with high overall damage. Magic attacks cannot crit.
Hybrid= Anyone who is a mixture of int and str stat points giving them characteristics of both character classes.
Always keep your specific build, and playing style in mind when looking at skills. What works best for someone else doesn’t mean its best for you.
I recommend basing a hybrid off of balances. Take off all gear that has int and str on it and press C in game.
Bow characters have been proven by many people to be effective at any balance between pure STR and 70:70 (also called 80:80)
The more int you add the higher your avg damage and lower your hp. All hybrids should get snow shield to make up for this.
