<div id="ygrps-yiv-2137213392">Where did you get this idea?  Hybrid means a &quot;combination of two different<br/>
things&quot;, not &quot;he who fights with slashing weapons&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
i.e.:<br/>
Ranger = warrior + druid<br/>
Paladin = warrior + cleric<br/>
Shadow Knight = warrior + necromancer<br/>
Bard = rogue + enchanter +  . . . .<br/>
<br/>
What are druids/clerics/shaman a combination of?  They are not hybrids.<br/>

 </span></blockquote>A hybrid is considered any class that can use slashing weapons or armor.<br/>
Druids and Shaman can.  Pure Casters cannot.  Ask yourself, does the Druid<br/>
or Shaman follow the same weapon/armor rules as a Pure Caster (Mage/Wizard).<br/>
Clerics are the oddball, in that they can wear armor.</div>
