Any "Hybrid" builds that are good?

I always play off-meta or hybrid mixed builds.

Are there any unique hybrid builds that work really well for a casual player? For example a ranger that also summons minions. I know there are some witches that run bleed build with bows, but I would imagine it would be quite squishy

Technically, any non-minion build is now a hybrid minion build with their merc.

BAMA (Blink Arrow/Mirror Arrow) is a ranger build that summons minions. Not sure if that's the kind of hybrid u're talking about.

Usually going real "hybrid" isn't a good idea in PoE because of how multiplicative the game is. U're supposed to specify in one specific aspect, like minions or attack or spells ect.

The Wildspeaker in Phrecia was good for that sort of thing. With these kind of nodes:

Minions deal 1% increased Damage per 5 Dexterity
Increases and Reductions to Minion Damage also affect you at 150% of their value

Trigger Level 20 Summon Spectral Wolf on Critical Strike

Not currently possible, but maybe some ideas there. Perhaps something with beast and yriel's fostering. Long way off meta but might be fun to create.

Yeah mercs might create some interesting possibilities. They added some nodes to the tree recently that have bleed and ignite mods together. I wonder if there are any builds that are using that.
