Pvp pala hybrids, most effective IMO?

[fredsta54]

ok so i know that pure builds are generally better, but id like to make a hammer/hybrid pally just for fun, not to mention the flexibility.

Here are the best choices, based from what is succesful in xpac (and can relate to classic)

Hammer/Foh. Foh from afar, spam hammers for when they get close. Were looking at -100 lr, 1.5k foh, and 4k 50 fcr hammers(guestimates from previous tests). Nothing spectacular but with some skill im sure it can really be devastating

Hammer/Charge good stuff, ive made a succesful pvp version in the past, sacrifices ~2k hammy dmg for a 2k+ 1h charge, while retaining 50 fcr

Foh/Smite, basically an foher w/ -150 lr + 2.5k+ foh, and a 6 fpa ow/cb smite on the same setup, offensive and defensive

Hammer/smite... bad IMO. SMite is defensive, and hammer is much more defensive so a waste

These builds are mainly focused on being able to harras from afar and do dmg, charge/foh, then being super defensive w/ hammer fields

Your thoughts please

The Hammer/Foh and Hammer/Charge will probably be the most succesful. Out of the two of them I would say the Hammer/Charge hybrid would be the best. The Hammer/foh Have way to much syngergies to max and if you split the skill points in half then the dmg will be crap.

The Hammer/Charge share a common synergy(vigor) and you can use concentration for charge while for the Hammer/Foh, you will have to switch between conviction/concentration.

All in all though, a pure build will be most definitly better.

I still think FoH/Hammer is not a good combination in classic. FoH/Smite I would like to try, but it needs top gear. Most easily done is Hammer/Charge for sure. FoH/Charge is also an option.

im not sayin how good it would be but u could have full hammers and about 900 smite with hammer/smite. You just max fana instead of conc, and then put rest of points into holy sheild as normal. Fana works for hammer in classic, as does might.

No it doesn't...

Ya I just got into that debate and Fanta does NOT work with Hammers. I made a lvl 80 Fanta din and he only did about 1k damage though it showed me doing 11K hammers. So Fant will NOT work with dins.
