Hybrids

[BlazingChicken]

its setups like this that give hybrid a bad name ...
3 raw tpa w/o rogue personality is good for nothing. Its not even hybrid ... its just atacker with decent thievery def that wasted land on dens. Any science you can get heavy hitter can get more, only mods you have over him are dens ... thats all. and 3+dens vs 2 is just lol rly. You are few failed ops and one hit away from beeing useless. Stealing is useless since only stashes worth stealing are runes and you cant touch those with your tpa. If you arent consistently ns'ing with your a/t you are failing at it.
Now ofc you can argument your setup saying theres allways some1 to op with no cs/wt's and 1 raw tpa ... but lets be honest here ... strat that requires oponent to be an idiot to be succesfull isnt much of a strat.

Hybrids are gimped by nature ... no way arround it. It gets down to can you justify the tradeoff you make in offense with the ops you can pull off. If you are doing an odd rob xxx op than its a bad tradeoff. In your case I would just raze dens for something more usefull and let thieves fade out to standard 2 tpa or even keep it ... but I'd definitelly stop wasting land on dens.

I still belive hybrids can be very usefull in certain scenarios/setups if played right, I just dont think thats the right way to play one.

You're speaking more along the lines of A/T, while I'm talking about A/t.......

In that case I would be playing Human not Avian.
