Alright... Im a hybrid int Spear user -(I dont have a ratio or anything, I just know my phy balance is 67%, and int is 109, and Im lv 73.)

Anyway, I was planning on doing skills as follows:

80 fire --> currently 73
80 heuksal --> currently 70
80 Lightning --> currently 68
60 Ice --> currently 60

But then I found about the 90 cap

Anywho. I was thinking of doing

90 fire - Fire is my main nuke & buff
90 heuksal - I follow up the fire nukes w/ Ghost spear usually, and I need the HP boost
60 lightning - eh, I could use the nukes, and the mag damage increase
60 Ice - Phy defense, 40% snow shield

Am I overlooking something? With this, I do realize that eventually (like 140 or 150 cap or w/e), I will have to lower lightning and ice all the way, but is that really THAT bad? Recommendations?

Thanks for any suggestions / input

Sorry but I have to disagree with the lightning being so low. Since your going to be using the physical skills and your pure int you will need the lightning. The fire nukes aren't as great as people puts onto them. Lightning nukes can be equally as powerful and at times stronger. Moreover, the Piercing Force buff increases your physical dmg a lot more than having the phy dmg buff increase. The fact that your pure int and most of your damage comes from the imbue, you need Piercing Force much more than you need the physical damage buff. Lightning is needed if you want to use weapon skills.

However if you wanted to do so you might want to switch weapons. If you were to use S/S you could keep fire nukes/imbue as well as keeping Ice to a slightly lower lvl. But in the end snow shield is still a must for pure ints.

However it is your character. Do what you want with it.

EDIT: At this rate,
2013= 140 cap
2014= 150 cap
Kind of pointless to be thinking so far ahead.

You can definitely go 90 90 60 60 for 90 cap. Max light with fire 60 against max fire with light 60 would deal comparable damage for a hybrid. Maxing light at the cost of lost fire damage doesnt necessarily equate to higher damage. Consider masteries in its totality, and not just based on damage.

Its still too early to predict what 140 cap will be like. Bear in mind that you're not the only int or hybrid int charachter in the game, so any advice given can only be speculation at this point.

it would help if you told us your naked mag%

Oh sorry, I didnt even think of that

Phy 56% (naked)
Mag 91% (naked)

not much of a hybrid so i suggest
90 hueskal
90 light
90 ice
30 fire or hueskal

or

90 hueskal
90 light
60 fire
60 ice

you would put out a little more damage with this build when using hueskal skills.
since ur int you need lightning max for mag attake increase

lvl 73 and already mag 91%? likely to be pure int or more int heavy than 7:1
ice 90 is a must then for phy def, no question about it, and then ligh spear 90, fire30

I agree with that naked balance you placed 200 out 216 stat points into your character basically you're a 12.5:1 int hybrid. lol. If you place all STR points from lvl 74-80 you'll be a 5:1 build which I think is a great Hybrid build. You'll have high damage with both spear and nukes and lots of HP (13k with HP+ and FULL BLUES and at least 17k MP with FULL BLUES) 69% Phys and 101% Mag balance

Well, my goal was to have at least 10k HP, and 20k MP by lvl 80 (And I think I can still do that... er, at least get really really close to it.)
