Your Favorite Hybrid

[StratOcastle]

Hello.
I'm messing around,... well I won't waste your time explaining, but to date my favorite is faery cleric. I'd like you to name your favorite hybrid and elaborate if you wish.
Thank you for your time.

hmm, if you mean favourite as in which one I enjoyed most and not which one is best i would go with Avian/Sage. Worked out great for me and i had a blast playing it :-D

human sage was a breeze ;)

Elf war hero A/m honor whore! Nothing says ownage like an elf war hero prince with 1500 bpa!

[Nim]

Orc mystic!

[Elixir]

Orc mystic!

that's hell of a combo..

It's the first age I haven't seen an Orc Mystic, so I'm a bit sad.

[Landro]

Orc/Tact.
It's a hybrid of rape and plunder

Ownage is when you try to get competitive OPA/WPA on your elf A/M then realize you don't have the pop or build space leftover for decent tpa/WT or defence.... leading to easy AW or a stiff chain. Elf A/M, whilst looking good on paper just doesn't have the population or build space to sustain itself defensively when warring decent kds and gets taken out relatively easily. This combo works ok for farming honor against ghettos but when you come up against a decent kd 4 rtpa and 10% WT won't save your wiz. Alternatively, fix this while keeping the same offence and wpa and you don't have enough def, or your economy goes to **** leaving you a burden to your kd. Elf A/M actually used to be one of the strongest combos going back about 5-7 years but the buffing of pure attacking combos and nerfing of magic in general has lead to their inferiority. Just ask PoD (2nd for WW last round) what we did to their prince elf A/M's :)

Halfer A/T with all elite army, decent home % and + pop sci is the strongest hybrid.
I'm playing a Halfer/Sage this round and i'd have to say it's the strongest A/T/m, along with Human/Sage in ages past.

You will probably find better pumped provs playing A/T/M if you look around. I was able to put this prov together being stuck in war most of the time and playing a lot more casually after taking prov honor crown last round. I'm interested in how human hybrids found this round.. please post

I've always enjoyed playing human/rogue in ages where the +infiltrate damage was super high. Very flexible and dynamic. Prolly best hybrid was when undead had ns and people were only running 1-1.5 tpa and you could just run undead/cleric with 2-2.5 tpa and some crime sci and ns while being pretty much full attacker.

I really liked my human/mystic an age ago or so.

[outburst]

Undead/Rogue this days. :)

[mewunited]

dwarf/mystic is cool=)

[BittersweetSin]

Gnome/Sage... from when they had gnomes back in the day.
