[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5237496, member: 82106"] Well, swordmage is widely considered to be amongst, if not THE, strongest class to hybrid. You lose very little in terms of your defending mechanic. You have little in the way of armor proficiency to lose. Warding can be a loss but obviously isn't always, as in this case. Pretty clearly barbarians and swordmages have nice stat synergy. Really it shouldn't be too surprising overall. Swordmages hybridize really well. Most defenders work well too, though the swordmage loses the least overall. Wizards and other controllers generally also hybridize well. Warlocks tend to do pretty well too as they have a lot of choices for primary stat and some interesting powers and features. Other classes are more marginal in general, though pretty much anything has at least a few decent combos. Druids can be tricky for instance. In any case hybrids really don't deserve a reputation for being weak. Its almost more the contrary. [/QUOTE]
