One can already go standard Str Warrior and bring a few elemental spells for CC and utility. Trying to have damage boosted in 2 directions at once is what weakens a character, I think.


Well, if you had all of the advantages of each class in a hybrid it would be OP. The advantages of such hybrid imo are:

-Good synergy with mage oriented party cause they attack the same defence
-Potentially quite high single target magic damage from flurry
-Mobility skills that mages lack otherwise

This comes at a cost of having to invest in skills that have bit less synergy. You'll still be not that far behind and elevation bonuses are quite situational anyway. And I'm ok with it not being the most optimal thing as long as it doesn't suck entirely.
