==Examples==
Hybrid spells are less affected by resistances than normal spells. The reason is that their DoT will only be resisted, if the DD gets completely resisted. Any [[partial resist]] of the DD will not take any effect on the DoT. Hybrid spells which have their emphasis on the DoT will have considerably lower damage mitigation through resists than regular spells.

A hybrid spell is a spell that deals direct damage and additional damage over time.

These spells have their spell damage divided on the two components, normally proportional to their respective damage.

Examples

Mage's Spell fire flamebolt [Fireball] is not considered a hybrid spell, as it deals most of its damage directly and its DoT does not benefit from spell damage.
