Hybrid slot mechanics ?

I've been away for about 6 months so, i'm trying to catch up now on the new stuff that was added. And i don't understand how the hybrid slots works. Looking at the paragon wiki page and the Support hybrid, the radial and core embodiement seem to give a permanent 8% defense buff, is that true ? Or does it work only under specific circumstances ?

Basically i'm looking for the hybrid slots that give a permanent buff, regardless of foes around or whatever can happen, as i'd rather have a small but persistant buff rather than a large one that doesn't work when i need it. And it seems some of the hybrid slots fit that role, however, it seems almost too good so, am i missing something ?

Thanks in advance

No Hybrid slot gives a permanent buff. They're all on a two minute toggle with a two minute downtime.

I'm pretty sure that they all do give a buff in addition to the buff from when they're turned on. I know that Support gives an Endurance discount at all times, and Assault gives a damage bonus. Those items show up in my combat numbers regardless of whether the power is toggled on or not.

"Assault Genome: blahblah power description. Equipping this Hybrid power grants a passive boost to Damage at all times."

Etc, etc, for Melee, Control and Support. However, none give a passive bonus to defense that's on at all times.

Core gives a 6% buff, which is doubled for pets. The in-game info only shows the pet stat though. As Aggelakis says, it will run for two minutes, then have two minutes recharge.

Thanks for the answers, i see, that's where i didn't get it i think: the timer starts after the buff is over. I thought 2mn duration and 2min recharge = permanent, as it could be recast as soon as it fades... So that's not the case.

Well, no hurry for me to get it then

Sure they do. For example, my scrapper uses Assault. He has a damage buff at all times, noted in combat attributes and denoted by a power icon. When I toggle the power on, he gets ANOTHER icon and ANOTHER boost to damage.

Hybrid is, as its name suggests, a hybrid - each one gives you both a Toggle power (two minute duration, two minutes cooldown) and an Auto power (always on).

I tend to choose which one I use based on the Auto power (+damage, +regen, +status resist, or +end discount), with the toggle just being a bonus.

Go hybrid. An auto-power and toggle-like click power all in one
