Hybrids are more viable, but in a different sense than D:OS 1 thanks to the armor system. It's inefficient to split your points between primary attributes, because you can only use one weapon at a time and hit only one armor type well. Plus you'd still need to spend points into Memory to boost your slots for the additional skills.
Instead, Hybrids are less about splitting your damage skills and more about selecting the SUPPORT skills your Hybrid uses. A lot of classes have support skills which can be very handy, and importantly, do not benefit from points into a primary attribute.
