Im not asking someone to tailor me anything. I am asking for advice because blood moon is hard to farm and may not even be good on a hybrid. I haven't asked for skills or anything as I am more concerned if it will work based off having pelinals and blood moon as a set combo. All my stats are around 20k currently.

Since I don't have a damage set due to having pelinals and bloodmoon I am not sure it will pump out enough damage. I am planning on running molag kena right now too for extra damage

A single stat build will always outperform a hybrid build, but it is more important that you have fun with your build. I suggest a destroy bar for the dots and two-hander for the stamina bar, but DW works too

If I was going to go a hybrid build i'd run pelinial and acuity. Stack weapon damage as much as possible, it's easier to acquire than spell damage.

Yeah, I went back and fourth between acuity and trying to stack weapon damage with hundings. I think you're right that acuity will perform better after thinking about it more. The damage from the 5th bonus can do a lot of work with the shadow mundus.

I'm usually one to make to not make too many assumptions, but I would wager that a majority of your time, @Wings, is doing pvp? I've been wrong in the past. Your right however, double dipping pens is always a bad idea. However, some of us perceived this forum as more of a way to build a fun character that can use any skill it wants, while maintaining reasonable damage, not just having a damage bar and a healing bar.

I personally think that hybrid wardens are one of the worst to aim for.

Pelinal goes well on a hybrid build with Shacklebreaker. Innate axiom is also a fun choice, given the fact that it adds a little bit of critical rate, but the damage does not add up to your non-class heals such as rally, vigor etc. Besides, Axiom kinda makes Pelinal less useful as it lacks the raw weapon (or sometimes spell) damage increase in numbers.

That being said, Wing is right in saying that you should concentrate on the stat that will provide the main portion of your damage. Usually most people would concentrate on stamina, but I do the opposite on my hybrid templar. While maxing out the magicka attribute points, I use the increased stamina pool of the dunmer racial passive, tri-stat glyphs and Shacklebreaker only for Rally, Power of the light (as it reduces the resists for my team) and roll dodges (and in rare cases critical rushes as a gap-closer).

The reason you would pick Pelinal is to receive those 15% of damage increase that come with Medium armor. In my case we add to that the 6% of weapon damage from the templar passives, the 8 % of the Dawnbreaker ultimate skill equipped, the 6% of the greatsword passive, and the 20% increase from Rally. So overall the spell damage gets constantly increased by 55% at the cost of severe lack of critical hit rate. But hey, I still run fast as a stamina build, I'm able to roll dodge and my jabs heal me simultaneously with the rally HoT, making me able to trade damage while passively healing myself quite well. Thus, I'll stack the CPs mostly for my magicka pool, as it is the primary one, where the damage comes from.

As for the monster set, there are many options. Some people use a combination of 2 damage increasing pieces, as it will add nearly 400 raw weapon damage overall (258 + 55% = 399.9 weapon damage increase).

I personally use Grothdar, because it helps me to pull Nightblades out of their stealth and it adds more magicka to my build, being the primary stat... Besides I already sit on 4,2 k spell damage with the Lover mundus stone so anything that allows me to use my skills for a longer period of time is quite useful. Skoria or Velidreth could also be fun if you want to be a bit more bursty and depending on your main pool.

Adding a critical rate monster set or 2 pieces of such sets could also be an interesting option - especially if you pick Innate Axiom as a secondary set. Slimecraw 2 pieces for example will also add 8% of damage to those 55% that we already have.

Overall, picking a hybrid can be a challenging and interesting experience but with the current sets, it will hardy out-damage the regular builds, unless you invest your resources in one single stat pool, while only partially using the other.

Yeah I was wondering why hybrid builds I saw only used mainly stamina skills and such. I always wondered how that really was a hybrid but it makes more sense now that i have had it explained to me.

I am starting to think my best bet is using something like a pure magicka DK since a lot of his skills are close range weapon skills like the whip. That would kind fit the spellsword build better.

I really wish they would just release a damn magicka weapon that wasn't a staff.

I have been working on a hybrid Warden that incorporates the following:

Bar 1: Magicka skills
Bar 2: Stamina skills

This allows me to switch back and forth as resources get low. I already have Pelinials set crafted but its heavy (i know I should have went med). I am thinking of making my second set blood moon so I can werewolf which is where i plan to stay most of the time if its up. Just wondering on thoughts since its not a pure damage set. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I am playing a warden werewolf and there is no reason to go hybrid. I tried hybrid too, but it is not worth it. Wardens have a huge stamina heal and can get a second if they level PvP. There is always enough magicka for Ice Fortress.

Personally i usually use Salvation medium and Pariah. With good food there should be no problem with sustain. The WW utlimate itself is a nice sustain buff. If there still is a sustain problem then use a glyph or two on the jewels. Pariah plus warden passive is enough HP. On weapons i usually use decisive traits.

I dont play veteran dungeons, only PvE questing, crafting and PvP 30 day campaign. I dont have a monster set. I craft two pieces with stam sustain or weapon damage.

If i want to play without the werewolf then i switch Salvation for Briarthorn or Gryphon.
