The Eft is one of the few that you don't need a Hybrid set for, certainly not fulltime. There's the occassional -ga but even if hate is on you at the time of the spell, it still can't kill you even with immediate follow-up. It takes fuck-ups before the Eft is dangerous. Yes it can happen (and has to us) but if you just zerg it down quickly, it doesn't pose a threat.
