All the Hybrid toggles are supposed to shut off automatically after 2 minutes of use, and then take another 2 minutes to recharge.
There are occasions where they don't due to a bug, but they're all supposed to.

Hybrid Melee is a STACKING +Resist/Defense (depending on the tree) and +Regen buff. For every enemy near your character (up to 10, I believe), those stats will increase.

All Hybrid powers are toggles that shut off after two minutes by design. Personally, i think it's a terrible design choice, but it is what it is.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

But yes, the buff scales with nearby enemies, like Invincibility/Rise to the Challenge/Against All Odds/etc. So you're looking at something like 300% regen, 20% resist or 10% def, and mez protection at t4, which is reasonably competitive with Assault's +75% damage at t4. The Radial path provides a buff only per enemy; Core provides some of its buff up front even with no enemies in range.
Okay, i am confused about this. Which, if you know me, is not that unusual. When i first read the description, it was obvious I misunderstood it, and thought it was more powerful than it was. But i still took it. It fits the concept I have, so I use it.
My remaining confusion is this. Is this a toggle that shuts off after two minutes, or is this a toggle that stays on indefinitely, like most other toggles? My confusion on this got worse yesterday. During trials, it shut off after 2 minutes. But then when i ran the Cathedral of Pain, both red and blue side, different characters, the toggle was up for the entire log in session (20-30 min) Then, when i went back to running trials, it shut off after 2 minuted again. What is going on with Hybrid Melee?
