[QUOTE="On Puget Sound, post: 4873421, member: 68988"] As a hybrid, I don't agree that it is necessarily a BAD combo. At any given moment you will either be in melee or at range. In either situation, you will have only half the powers to choose from that a full avenger or invoker would have. But whatever power you choose, you will be able to do at the same effectiveness (or nearly so) as a full member of that class. So in essence you are trading one kind of flexibility for another. Unlike avengers or invokers, you can do something effective no matter where you are on the battlefield. However, you have fewer choices as to what that effective thing is. As you add feats, you will have to be careful about balancing them for your two roles. Feats that are sorta good all the time may be better feats for you than those that are awesome in melee but useless when playing the controller role, or vice versa. Normally I would consider a build like this only if my group were unreliable, unpredictable or incomplete in some fashion, so I never knew what role would be needed in any given session, or felt a need to fill two roles. Like RPGA, for instance. [/QUOTE]
