Most useful Archer hybrid - Mort - 26-04-2012
I've seen Huscarlton Bank's hybrid spreadsheets (http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?topic=2890.0.html) and I am thinking about what class I will take after I have reached Sniper.
What is the archer hybrid that is the most useful for the team in your opinion?
Re: Most useful Archer hybrid - Chris - 26-04-2012
I use sniper heavy inf as it allows me to actually survive when the enemies get too close.

For shieldwalls, i'd say Sniper+Heavy Inf, or Sniper+Heavy crossbowman - Some close-up survivabillity, and more armor.
For soloing and teamwork where you need to run - Sniper + Skirmisher - You'll get 9 or 10 athletics.

Will being heavy inf effect my running speed (as a sniper)? Or will it only slow me down if I wear heavier (infantry) armour?

no choosing inf will not slow you down, it just wont make you as fast as a skirmisher hybrid, the difference being, snipe/skim=9 athletics and snipe/ heavy inf=8. even though its only one point it makes a huge difference in the battlefield
both are useful in their own way, but seeing as this a mod about teamwork and there are so many corridor maps, i prefer sniper/ heavy inf

I like the shieldwall in hard mode the most, so I'll choose sniper/heavy inf.
But just to make sure, heavier armour won't slow me down?

actually(this might have changed because i don't really keep up with all the new armour updates) heavy inf armour is lighter and have more protection then the best sniper armour(bear armour)

I don't know what exactly the stats will be, but I think that +1 Skirm and +1 Crossbowman might be a good combination as you get some one-handed skill, some sheild and athletics. Personally having a shield last longer if pretty good in hardmode because I'll pick up a shield for those FML moments and athletics and one-handed is mainly for normal mode.

If you want 9 athletics, go with skirmisher.
Otherwise, go with heavy infantry since it has 8 athletics and the highest possible Shield/Ironflesh/Power Strike/1h + 2h proficiency.
