tank is best for bosses true, but i dont love the build, just taking dmg feels for me like im just a strong training dummy that keeps aggro
i prefer hybrid, tho i think im gonna change for dps for soloing of combos and pots atm, hybrid is my favorite guild, can tank and can do good dmg
my dmg is 790 or so, with above 2.8k hp, works fine
tho i need to higher my dex for defence and attack (its only 25 for now but 50-100 is good enough)
but the only diffrence about hybrid is that i always keep on me royal shield of the mountain and golden blade of ice, so i'll switch on bosses and etc.
if to say for lvling (even group lvling if u got ranger\druid) dps is the best, thats why im probably changing it for lvling, on bosses..... ur screwed, mostly if its pyrus or ignus
about stats and skills for dps idk i also need help but about dps but if u want hybrid:
almost equal str and vit (i keep vit a bit higher cuz mountain shield dont add vit unlike blade with str)
50-100 dex
if u want always to be fully energy regend... then get energy regen brace and etc. my foc is 20 (i'll put some pts in it later when i'll need) but rejuv is enough for me (not to be fully regend but im good), my skills r : proc.stance - maxed, giant swing - maxed, pummel - maxed, shield bash - to the lvl i need (lvl 29, can bash up to lvl 150 mobs), enudring guard - 15 (19) (i guess i lvled kinda too much but its the best skill i can get if i dont do solo with bandage, which i will on dps)
telling u my gear wont be that important cuz its mostly frozen and lux which u cant get atm, but, i prefer to not wear dmg gear (unless u got some and tank gear and enough room in ur backpack to carry both and switch) but i always keep dmg brace on me (for me 6 crush dmg), rings - get only skills\dmg rings, regen r crap
ammy i always go for heroic (almost my only rejuv, this and regen brace) and wep, always sword, fastest and at higher lvl it'll be the strongest (well not exactly in dmg but frozen wep has 90 slash dmg and its very fast - 2800 speed)
keep swords and melee combat maxed, other abilities try to lvl them as much as u can
and... good luck
P.S.
i never farmed, i prefered to lvl at those lvls untill i became 120 and it was hard :S
i got my stuff from selling rare stuff, but for now farm at easy mobs , weak mobs that u can kill fast, if shal is hard for u atm go for dustwitcher , when ur high enough farm at the grove in stonevale (where dr and fal r) , and keep farming only there
at ow when u lvl u will get gold pretty quick, cuz of the drops (if u get prismatic jewel from eyes its 3k at lux store, higher lvls mobs -not eyes- will drop better drops). and low ur foc.
