<DIV>Backstory: My main is a mystic. It is who I spend most my time on, I know that class inside and out. My "main alt" is my swashbuckler. He just hit 68 with 33aa. Because of the guild I am in I plan on picking up at some point an ancient velium rapier or some other half decent but probably not best of the best gear as he is my alt and well venekor doesn't like dropping his rapier etc everytime he is killed. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now where I need advice. My playstyle is such that I duo and group often solo rarely. As such generally I can sit behind a mob. Raiding I know oh so well the benefits of traumatic swipe but here again, as the char isn't my main, the likelyhood of me being on a raid that would consistently need me applying traumatic swipe is very small. So this leaves me with the question, what is the best dps build?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For a long time I have looked at the wisdom line. It looks like over all that will be the best line for multiple reasons. One being when I group with guildies, pulling tends to be incoming room, floor, whatever so a higher damage off of hurricane would be beneficial. What I get stuck on is str vs. agi.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Agility has that oh so sweet proc attack and str obviously has the crit hits. But which one in the long run when a back is available works out to a higher dps gain more often. I know mob shifting etc will slow down agility but when you are behind a mob how much of a gain is it vs. crits? Also the other thing I have wondered about, can it proc off hurricane?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
