Hybrid STR is the best build in SRO, take it or leave it.
Those who don't know haven't fought a well geared one that can use snow shield to its fullest potential and dish out more damage than a pure str with equivalent crits.
Str hybrid can be a great build.
I know 4 capped glavie/bladers that are hybrid and kick serious ass. All the ones I know are hybrid by accident 10-30 points int. You ask them if they think being hybrid hurts them and most say "I don't know, it definetly doesn't hurt me". Yes all of them have nice gear, possibly better than there oponnents, but I am not talking about sun or anything just +4 or +5 with max blues. Oh and none of them even use snow shield to its potential, not sure why.
I also know some really weakass hybrids. I have no idea why they suk, maybe its a combination of gear and skill choice I don't know. But if you ask them why they suk the will say " I suck cause I am hybrid". IMO its just an excuse for being underfarmed and shitty gear.
Oh and just to be clear a 70:70 spear is like a str on steroids. You play it like a glavier but hit much harder. Yes you have less hp but if you use 40% snow shield you will tank as well as a pure str for those 2 min. Even though you are an int hybrid you have to think of yourself as a melee character in pvp, dont try to nuke them to death, cause it won't work.
