this is all true.

for an example, my fighter has no points in END, and she never will. I tanked Zombie King in the dungeon at level 31 with a twohander sword. Most people will not attempt ZK at that level even with a tank build. Yes, I had to stone and pot to help my cleric keep me alive, but my point is, END is not needed for tanking most things.

Now, knowing this, would I rather put points in END to have an easier time tanking, when I can already do it by staying awake and not placing all my trust on the cleric alone, OR, would I put the free points into increasing my damage and critrate instead? I think the answer is quite obvious.

I've only been saying that all the time, But eh You did it much better than i could ever do....in good english and articulation ><


ANYWAY
The problem with hybirds builds are really, most of the stats really require ALOT of dedication to get a good use out of them.
I've been telling this to my friend who went 2/1 str and end Build at level 52 (52 stat points +5 from job quest) she should have
38 points of str- which translates to 45 points of extra damage which is not bad at all especially for 1handers.
19 points of end- which translates to 95 hp points and 9 points of defense. 1.9 % block rate if she uses a shield

The strength is fine at all for grinding purposes (not so much in pvp >.>) but the real problem is with the END. The bonuses from end are virtually worthless because at that level she should have atleast 2100+ hp with full buffs and 500 defense. the 1.9% shield block rate increase is extremely insignifcant...


Really even if you go full something most stats get useless in the later levels. 100 points of end only = 500 hp. By level 95 500 hp should be EXTREMELY worthless. (think how much cleric buffs would increase >.>)
Same thing with only 138 damage from str >.> (same reason with cleric buffs XD;
