Frodlin,

Ok someone will probably beat me to this, but Strikan is right. Real numbers vary by class, AA, or whatever and I'm too lazy to look things up, but let's put it this way.

Rogues do all of their damage via melee, therefore if you spend AA on an ability that raises your melee damage output by 10%, you've made a 10% increase to your total damage output.

Let's assume some hypothetical hybrid does 50% of their damage via melee and 50% via spells. If they buy that same AA as the rogue did, for the same price, they only get a 5% increase to their damage output.

Real hybrids vary in their percentages, and you can feel free to replace rogues with warriors and damage output with tanking ability or whatever, but the fact is that hybrids need to spend twice as much to get the same percent benefit to their class.
