hybrid armslady spec

[onesmegger]

Hi getting near the place - low to mid fourties where I have to make final decision on speccing.

So far - slash for damage and polearm sword n shield.

However on pondering final level of speccing it seems I may have a choice - unless of course you lot know better - - -
my 2 thoughts so far verging between
>> 44 pole, 44 slash - max damage on both weapons
>> 35 shield most of the positional slams for a stun
>> 26 parry for a reasonable chance when fighting and
>> 6 the crappy bits left in crossbow

or alternatively ( and maybe more traditionnaly )
>> 42 shield for that frontal slam ( if we got a pally in the group)
>> 39 / 44 polearm or slash - not sure which way round
>> 23 parry and
>> 7 crossbow

again I note that after determination + purge stuff like master of blocking can help but - please - any thoughts from pure pole, sword n board and hybrids on how their spec works - and how it differs.
Apart form the fotm mercs ( lol ) I feel Albion at the moment is showing a slight shortage in places of the heavy armoured big hitters in RvR and would like a toon that offers some way of filling this gap - mebbe not main assist in RvR but able to come in with a big pole hit or two for teh kill !

cheers all

39dmg type (I would go thrust), 42shield and 50pole. Hybrid spec or not, you want to max your primary weapon skill, which in this case is polearm. This spec will leave you ~5 parry and it's more than enough unless you are going to solo lots
