Is it hybrid builds viable?

Hauztein · July 2015

You know, the skills i like the most for aoe are stamina, and for single target are magicka skills.
And i run one bar for aoe and one bar for single target.

I was doing a full magicka build, but wondering how viable hybrid will be.
I am a breton, so no stamina buffs from race, the best i can do is split 50/50 between mag and sta. But afraid to lose too much damage on my magicka skills.

I am not talking about trial dps charts. Im talking about solo and casual pve, and a little bit of pvp.

Any opinions or personal experience?

Im pure stanima. However i use the undaunted set to get a little more max magicka. I use a couple maigcka skill's for utility. Mass hysteria and cloak. I also use dual stat recovery drink's.

No one is stopping you from doing it but currently hydrid build's are bad. Damage scales with your max stat. So your cutting your damage in half for each skill that uses either resource when you go 50/50

I'd recommend maxing one stat for damage and the other for utility like i do.

Next patch may change thing's.

Prismatic enchantments may make you feel a little better.

don't get your hopes up i don't see the prismatic offer more overall stats than single stat enchantments e.g. a magicka enchantment may give 450 while a prismatic will give 150 each (450 total).

This still won't make hybrids viable.
