EDIT : just noticed ur at android, any sunfire or event items, prob not possible to get there. The rest of items i suggested will be added soon.
I see what u want to do, but ur doing it wrong.
Theres no "mini-tank" really, not cus its impossible to do, its just close to useless, most at ur lvl.
U want to have decent dps, and not die that often, well isnt that simple?
Hybrid is the build for u, hybrid is just using both offensive and defensive (more offensive) skills, while having a set amount of str and the rest in vit which gets u great amount of health
First, never use a skill that requires a shield for lvling (unless ur lvling with a shield which i dont recommend)
This is very simple, hybrid is easy to use.
Stats:
Str - 300-350 with bonuses (that means dont go beyond that)
Dex - base dex, 5 u get, 5 u keep.
Foc - base foc , use it only as a low lvl without lux (energy regen is more important than health regen)
Vit - rest of points, here.
Now ofc u cant have 300 str now, but use a ratio, per lvl, add 3 pts to vit, and 2 pts to str, 2:3 str-vit ratio, when str gets to 300 (including bonuses from gear) or even 350 (this is like a cap for str, bonus gets lower, good to use high str for dps), add all pts u get to vit, every 5 pts to vit
Since ur using foc, i say, 2:1:2 str-foc-vit until u have enough foc, dont go around with like 100 foc and 100 str, if u want high foc, go be a mage or druid.
Skills:
Protective Stance - this is a must skill, max it.
Shatter - Also a must skill, dps or hybrid, this is the best dps skill.
Double Attack - This is a very useful skill for hybrid, u dont need to max, only up to the lvl u need (if u need up to lvl 10, its lvl 1, and it goes up by 5 per 1 skill point)
Rupture/Pummel/Giant Swing - I suggest Rupture, if ur using an axe/hammer (i recommend an axe), high dmg, decent dmg per tick, strong skill overall.
Pummel for me is not only my favorite skill, its also my highest hitting skill on mobs (doesnt hit too high on bosses, but i do get high hits sometimes), why i suggest Rupture over that? Since pummel isnt dmg based, so its not good for hybrid, it gets a lot of bonus from str, melee combat and skill pts, and theres great gear for it, with high str, its an amazing skill, and once u get anc beastbone gloves (lvl 145) or dl gloves (lvl 150+ if u have good clan) then i say use pummel. (350 direct dmg from ancient beastbone, +5 skill pts from dl gloves)
Giant Swing - Im really not a fan of this skill, it hits slow, cooldown is slow, each skill point, str point and melee combat dont add a lot to it, its dmg based (1 dmg equals to 1 giant swing dmg), it almost never hits close to max, it does have very high dmg, but i dont like using it, since casting is slow, and the dmg is not close to max, u can almost hit more with melees by that time, thats why a strong pummel would be much better imo (1-2 secs casting, 8 secs cooldown, sadly on mobs shatter lasts for 8 secs for some reason, 10 on players at pvp so on them u can cast 2 pummels per shatter).
Defensive Formation/Bandage Wounds - all the extra pts in here, since one is buff and one is heal, they'll be effective as extras, def form adds defence, great for surviving, bandage wounds is good for low lvl solo without lux, so also great for u.
recup and medidate at lvl 1.
Gear :
Main hand - axe, i prefer an axe.
Offhand - any dps offhand, for u torch/skewer offhands which are cheap/free will be the best, rejuv offhand beats dps offhand if u dont have energy regen at all (for example, golden trident or dagger would be better than golden blade if u dont have energy regen/very low amount of energy regen)
Set - best set u can get, i prefer one with good armour, the low lvl frost is great, questline is great (full questline set gives u buff), since questline gives a buff, if u have full warden, dont wear met gloves, wait for full met, same for met and frozen, same for frozen and anc beastbone (ancient beastbone 4 ancient pieces will be enough while wearing regular beastbone bp/frozen bp), with dl and beastbone its fine (although i was using my anc beastbone gloves until i got full dl and even a bit after).
Ammy - one that has energy regen, simple as that, the more the merrier, noone cares about health regen.
Bracelets - Energy one only after u got enough main gear and u can afford it, energy brace is great, sometimes better than ammy actually (since its cheap), but for free bracelets, there are stats brace (for low lvl wyrm bracelets, add to 3 stats, 5/5/5 up to 25/25/25 with jumps of 5, and high lvl bracelets add to 2 stats, 10/10 up to 100/100 with jumps of 10, there are aggy bracelets but u need good clan), there are dmg bracelets (elemental ones are crappy, even the poison isnt that good, pierce/slash/crush dmg are the best dmg ones, 1 to 10 dmg, jumps of 1), then resists bracelets (here elementals are better, but all of them suck, 10 to 100 resist, jumps of 10)
This is how u should decide (im not considering high lvl bracelets, or aggy ones, or 20/20/20+ since they're rare and expensive, and i'll consider it as lvl 90 since 15/15/15 requires lvl 90, i'll also consider dmg bracelets only up to 6, above that is too rare, even those are rare, elementals to 70)
15 wyrm brace>>>>>10 wyrm brace>>>>>4-6 physical dmg>>>>>4-6 poison dmg>>>>>>>3 physical dmg>>>>>>1-3 poison dmg>>>>>>>5 wyrm brace>>>>>1-2 physical dmg>>>>>>1-6 elemental dmg>>>>>>>10-70 elemental brace
This is roughly how it should be, poison is unresistable while physical is very resistable, so at certain amounts, poison is better, all elemental resists bracelets suck.
*Physical dmg - slash/pierce/crush dmg, gets higher with str.
*Elemental dmg - heat/cold/magic dmg, doesnt get higher with anything.
Rings - I wont do the same as i did with bracelets so i'll just explain, no lux rings (expensive, regen ones mostly suck, only 50-75 stats ones are great but expensive), use royals and grands (i suggest only one shatter ring, it costs a lot of energy) or weaker ones if u cant get, use double attack ones only for extra pts, or just use ring for the extra skill.
Dmg rings are great, but they're for lvl 120 and the good ones are hard to get solo, easy with a main world's clan.
Charm (misc slot) - keep the blessing of belenus for now, try to get dmg ones (only elemental and poison ones are possible to get), they dont drop anymore but shouldnt be expensive, sunfire ones ofc (the frost ones have high lvl req), a pummel/giant swing charm also work (they're also sunfire charm *event charms* so they dont drop anymore, but these 2 should be real cheap), i prefer pummel ofc, and if u cant find any (i wont suggest the halloween ones, they suck, extremely rare and expensive), wait for u to be high enough to do the quest at Otherworld called The Test of Regulus, u will need to kill ow bosses, so u will need to get help from high lvls (most of them should get u in group if u need for quest and u promise to give them the drop), that will get u random +100 evasion charm, they suck but they're something and u might need them for next update (if u get spell/physical evasion its great, i got wounding which is for dmg per tick skills)
Fashion - I dont care.
Enjoy.

OP dps warrior on Belenus, hot af melee druid on Nuada. #Elementals #Apex
.I'd for the time being stock up on all plate scale armour and use a book of rebirth and put the points into focus up to 30(Max) as the armour from the scale will help you along nicely(buy when u reach higher lvls will need use a rebirth again). Not looking bad at all my friend.hope to see u in game
