As Dragonfire has said, If you would like archers to be more melee based you would be better off having them go sentinel for offence, defense ranger (maybe?) for the heavier armor and 7 shielding. As for Pikeman marauder/halberdier would work for spearmen. As the others have said its usually best not to go hybrid because of the gear that can be used as a t4 or hero vs the hybrid ranks. Although, a nice choice for hybrid would be t3 infantry, t3 pikeman and t1 archer, gives good 2h and pole arm skills + 12 athletics 7 powerstrike and 210 throwing while still being able to use grinder helmet and swadian halberd and some other decent craftables. That being said GLHF with the new house.
