"To build hybrid classes you have to finish lower classes first." ??

Um, wrong game. ..

It's a rather personal question. You can cover up missing def/ magic def or power with equip choices and augments to a certain degree.

It is highly recommended to use augments of other classes, be it clout and the likes for more power or bastion/awareness and the likes for more survivability. Leveling another class for an augment almost automatically means gaining char levels as a different class = less power per level.

Personally i'd recommend tossing in some physical defense.then wear some lighter leather or robes for increased magic def (assassin can wear most mage gear, but none of the heavy plates, which are literally too heavy anyway). While most magical attacks can be avoided with rather ease and are in general rather rare, physical attacks are used by every enemy. Besides the most damaging single hit abilites are physical (some dragons stomping for example)
