for illusion the best thing to do is to get perma PA, then your defenses dont matter for the most part
hybrid wise the only one thats really worth taking is assault, and no it doesnt boost pets, but it will give you more dmg on your blind + SW attack chain
melee will do almost nothing for you, support wont help most of your pets anyway, and control is kind of useless against hard targets like GMs (and to extent AVs)
the only hybrid that really has any purpose is assault since it will give you a pretty hefty dmg boost when its up and a passive +dmg all the time
I know this discussion has been going around for a while, and the beauty of Ill/Dark is everyone has different builds and different takes.....i have respec'd my guy at least 3 times since he hit 50...now he is up to Hybrid level and i have no clue what to take....things i have read on the forums thus far
Assault: Does this make pet dmg go higher or does it not? can anyone confirm?
Support: If i can maintain softcap Range DEF, with barrier and fade, is this worh it at all?
Control: I have intuitive alpha....and i do plenty of psionic dmg....thoughts?
melee: no clue!
I am just looking for feedback and recommendations on experiences the troller community has experienced with Hybrid, and whats the best route...below is my build and thanks guys, you guys rock! Also the empty slot in phantasm is the KB-KD proc!
