With some specific exceptions(classes that get big bonuses from a secondary stat every round), you can often dump secondary stats.Figure out where your AC is coming from - many hybrids destroy AC. Non-defenders should ask themselves how they're getting at least Chainmail quality AC, Defenders should be 2 higher.Decide your role in the party - the best hybrids do one of three things:Be 90% of one role and a good 40% of the other. An Archer Ranger|Bard does many of the things that a typical Archer Ranger does with additional great interrupt choices as an example.Be 80% of both - the ultimate 5th member of a party. A Warden|Avenger is an off-defender who does okay striker damage and has an easy route to AC(Hybrid Talent for Hide+Heavy Shield+Wis to AC) as an example.Combine two of the same role for 100% of a role. Does not usually work with Strikers due to each side being a half-striker and Leaders eventually lose a heal(this is easy to compensate for, but players poor at builds might miss this in Paragon). Fighter|Paladin.The following is a bit out of date - some races now have multiple stat combos and honestly, most hybrids should not focus on the secondary stats at all to the point of investing a racial choice in it.Two-stat combinations, if I'm not mistaken, are: STR, DEX, Barbarian (Whirling), Fighter (Blade, flail, spear), Monk (Stone Fist), Ranger (Balanced), Rogue (Brutal), Races: Half-orc, Bugbear STR, CON, Barbarian (Rageblood, Thunderborn), Fighter (Axe, Hammer, Pick), Runepriest (Wrathful), Warden (Earth, Storm) Races: Goliath, Minotaur, Orc, Warforged STR, INT, Swordmage (Assault), Warlord (Tactical) Races: Genasi   STR, WIS, Cleric (balanced), Fighter (Polearm, Opportunist), Paladin (STR-adin), Ranger (Melee/Hurling), Runepriest (Defiant), Seeker (Spiritbond), Warden (Wildblood, Lifespirit) Races: Longtooth Shifter, Minotaur   STR, CHA, Barbarian (Thaneborn), Cleric (Battle), Paladin (Balanced), Sorcerer (Dragon, Cosmic), Warlord (Inspiring), Races: Dragonborn   DEX, CON, -  Races: Gnoll, Kobold DEX, INT, Rogue (Cunning), Wizard (Wand)  Races: Eladrin   DEX, WIS, Avenger (Pursuit), Druid (Predator), Monk (Centered), Seeker (Spiritbond) Races: Elf, Githzerai, Razorclaw Shifter, Wilden, DEX, CHA, Rogue (Artful), Sorcerer (Storm, Wild)  Races: Drow, Goblin, Halfling   CON, INT, Warlock (CON-lock), Wizard (Staff, Summoning), Swordmage (Warding), Artificer Races: Githyanki CON, WIS, Battlemind (Resilient), Druid (Guardian), Invoker (Wrath) Races: Dwarf, Wilden   CON, CHA, Ardent (Elation), Bard (Valorous), Battlemind (Resilient), Warlock (Balanced) Races: Half-Elf, Hobgoblin INT, WIS, Avenger (Retribution), Invoker (Preserver), Shaman (Stalker), Psion (Telekinetic), Wizard (Orb, General), Artificer Races: Deva, Githzerai, Shardmind   INT, CHA, Bard (Cunning), Psion (Telepathic), Warlock (CHA-lock), Wizard (Illusionist) Races: Doppelganger, Gnome, Shardmind, Tiefling WIS, CHA, Bard (Prescient), Cleric (Ranged), Paladin (CHA-ladin), Shaman (Protector) </blockquote>
