[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6891247, member: 82106"] No, hybrids are not, as a general blanket statement, kinda underpowered. Certain classes are almost universally an asset if you hybrid into them. Swordmage for instance is a very powerful hybrid choice for many characters for various tactical reasons. Warlock is another class that is frequently used (the eyebite paladin being a kind of classic there). Fighter, warlord, wizard, really most of the classes, can be profitably combined with SOMETHING. Its true, there are many terrible hybrid choices, and combinatorics being what it is they numerically vastly outnumber the really good choices. However, most of them are pretty obviously bad and can be avoided. If you pick two classes with stat synergy, you're probably going to be OK. Hybrids are certainly tricky and rely on somewhat of an advanced understanding of how various things work together in 4e, but they're not inherently gimpy, rather the contrary, some of them are nastier than any single class.
