Hybrid Build Question

coop500 · June 2021

Okay let me preface this by saying: I know hybrids are bad in terms of the meta and don't worry, I will not be bringing this into group content with strangers and I will not bother messing with vet content with the build either (I have other chars for that)

BUT, I am still interested in trying it. I wanted to make a hybrid resto staff/duel wield high elf nightblade werewolf hybrid, but I'm a little stuck on traits/gear? And enchantments as well.
Am I better off mixing the enchantments, using tri stat enchantments (ouch on price) or giving him lots of HP, so I can focus all other sources on damage?
What sets would you suggest? I know Pelinal is SUPPOSED to be the hybrid set, but it doesn't offer any real... bonuses? And seems to more suggest I pour all my resources into one stat, THEN use this set to attempt to balance it. Is there a better way to go about this?

There is a lot of sets I saw that give bonuses to both stamina/weapon and magicka/spell, is this a better way to go about things? What would you all suggest?

If I were to make a hybrid I would use sets that buff both weapon and spell damage like New Moon, Ancient Dragonguard, Red Eagle and of course the new almighty Diamonds Victory.

I am finding the new blackwood craftable to be really interesting.

You can put powered on your restoration staff to be better at healing. You can put sharpened on your weapons to be better at damage.

Oooo I didn't know that set existed RedFeather! I got a master crafter, so I'll probably make that one.
I also didn't know about Diamonds Victory, that is very interesting!

So it's probably best to ignore Pel and go for sets/bonuses that help both sides

What about armor/jewelry enchantments? I didn't really want to sink a ton of money in tristat stuff, but I will if it helps enough.

5 pc Hundings Rage and 5 Law of Julianos? I never use tri-stat, I just mix my enchants one Health for head, Stamina Chest, Magicka legs, then do gloves, boots, and shoulders at whatever Stat I need more, be it stam or Mag.

I've run two successful hybrids. A PVE Dunmer DK 2handed front bar and resto back bar. And a PvP Breton Templar, sword and shield front bar and resto back bar.

What a sad state for the game that this comment is reflective of the ESO experience.

I love 5pc Innate Axiom with 5pc Oblivion’s Foe.

Hybrid wws dont work anymore. Non of your skills scale with max mag or spelldamage. If you want to play ww go full weapondmg/stam. Anything else works well as hybrid.

from the Natch Potes:

"The following passives and player abilities now grant hybrid stats to help improve their viability and accessibility to off-meta builds, because we love them too"

Which makes me wonder - there is a crafted set Called Pelinal's Aptitude

(2 items) Adds 1206 Max Health
(3 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(5 items) Your Weapon Damage and Spell Damage both become the highest of the two values.

Problem is, does this final bonus apply BEFORE the calculation that includes "max [stat]" or AFTER? since that makes a heckuva difference in terms of would it be actually useful for a hybrid set.

Nevermind, just saw the "it would have been too good to be true so we nerfed it" notes.
