Changing the Build
It's always a popular category on this blog and I'm going to have to change the build on my hybrid a bit, so it's time for another post on the topic. A hybrid build isn't quite as simple as a warrior build.Let me show you my warrior build and you will see what I mean. I maxed out my strength and dexterity ages ago. Since then I've only been adding to Constitution. For a PvE warrior, that's all I need. With HP ornaments that character is now basically unkillable even when grinding on orange mobs, as long as he's hitting something.
A hybrid build isn't quite that simple though because you have options for things like nukes, which are really helpful, but they're useless without Wisdom or Essence. Of course you want to be able to play a normal grinding game too, so you need Strength and Dexterity as well. The one break that we get as hybrid players is the Constitution self buff. Most players don't add any chi points to Constitution. Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore.A few weeks ago there was a change to the dungeon bosses and most of them now hand out a major all attributes penalty. The Golden Coins Mansion boss will quite happily debuff you, and give you a minus 47 all attributes penalty. I used to be able to solo that dungeon, but with only enough Constitution for relics I would go to my knees if I even went near that guy now. For the next few levels I'll be add to Constitution. I pay for premium too, and that buff doesn't get taken away by the Mansion boss debuff so I think a base of 50 Con should be enough.
I'll let you know when I get there.
