Nothing wrong with that - just makes a few equations more annoying is all. (Although the newly discovered FLT particles might be putting the kabosh on that.)Originally Posted by octobrev
Seriously though, what exactly is wrong with starting as a "lite hybrid" and deciding which way to go a day or so into it? (Sure, if you know your opponent well that moves into the "pre-war prep"... but for most, you spend your first day or two changing your build%s anyway, cause you didn't have all the intel you needed.) As an example, I always ran (later age) about 3 raw TPA as human sage, but with mods could hit about a 9 mod. Often I'd steal horses, NS a bit, then switch to rob ops and kidnap as I grew and tpa fell. But if a kingdom had bad thief defense and I could get though on NS of some useful targets... I'd keep training the thieves, try to get up to 4 raw. The "missing" offense never really mattered then, cause I dropped my targets def so *everyone* could hit easier.
'Tis that "adapt" concept everyone keeps saying... isn't that what is meant by a lite hybrid anyway? I'm a lot less a fan of the "a/T" type halfer rogue, for example... cause it usually seems they are trying to play a super thief, but with enough offense to look like they can attack - sure, that's been dead as a good plan for a while... but it never really was too smart to start with. I figure everyone that is a "big A" knows first priority is to have enough offense to hit within range - T or M are "continuous", half TPA can still do stuff, just not as well. Attacking is mostly binary - either you have the offense needed, or you fail at the attacker role. Was that part ever really in question though?
