Yeah. For the love of god don't do it. With the new KMS changes every skill in 2nd job bar maybe FA (still very highly recommended over a second mastery + some booster) is now needed, every skill in third job is also now basically required to be for one weapon or the other, not both, else you'll take a pretty big hit to your damage. That means you have enough for both masteries and booster partway for each
It is complete impossible to be hybrid after 3rd job without losing out. You have 151 points in 3rd job. With those, you definatly need to max charge blow, fire charge and lightning charge. Ice charge is also extremely recommended, that leaves you 31 points to do with as you wish. IF for some unknown reason you decide to skip ice charge completely (you'd be a fool) then you have enough to max fire + lightning for both weapons. After that, once you're at 4th, you still end up 20 skill points behind any other paladin, because you havbe to raise 2 holy charges.
And even if you do go hybrid, you're going to be using one weapon for all of 3rd job anyway or you lose out, adn then at 4th you have to use one weapon until you've maxed ACB, blast, holy charge twice (80 skillpoints, aka level 146) before you should even think about having a choice between weapons, at which point you're still lagging behind in other skills, like having a higher level rush or heavens hammer
