Hybrid Template Help

[Bag]

so I've got a hybrid character going. right now I have him 7x GM:

100 Swords
100 Tacts
100 Healing
100 Anatomy
100 Magery
100 Resist
100 Hiding

with 100str/85dex/40int.

I do like the kind of hybrid playstyle which gives me multiple outs and has a lot of utility, but I'm wondering if I should drop hiding for something. I was thinking maybe wrestling or med, or changing my stat breakdown. maybe 50 int? I'm not really sure how I want to fine tune it.

Hi there. You want the magery for healing right? maybe I suggest dropping hiding for wrestling. With wrestling you can heal/recall/cure without interruption or facing the 100% hit chance. Eval Int and Meditation are also possible skills. With eval you can precast offensive spells (like explosion--good if you are the aggressor). With med, if you decide to wear light leather armor, you can passively gain mana as you fight (I did a few tests on test server--a leather tunic doesn't hinder med *too* much, but still slower regen). Med doesn't appeal too much to me because I doubt I'd use my magery so much that I need regeneration. Plus, you can't wear anything beyond light leather or face hindering your GM med greatly. And AR is important since your template is more melee than mage.

The stats seem okay. 85 dex isn't too much of a hindrance to attack speed compared to 100, especially with faster weapons.

wrestling is a good suggestion. really the template is designed for sort of a one on one or a hard-to-kill playstyle, and wrestling might improve the survivability.

You could drop Hiding for Meditation or Eval. The "Medwarrior" is very common and very effective in 1v1s against most templates (parry fencers will prove to be a difficult fight). Have a razor macro to toggle your suit of armor so you can easily switch it on/off at will (for quicker mana regen). With an evalwarrior you have slower mana regen, but you can also pull off some really high damage combos, but there's lots of downtime when you are waiting on mana to regen.
