L17 ratonga rogue - is brigand for me? :)

[Turb]

I'm just getting to the point of no return (L17) for choosing whether my rogue will become a brigand or swashie.I really can't see a great deal of difference based on the skill listings at ogaming.com.It seems brigands get a better high damage attack (ruse), more stun attacks (presumably useful for getting flank/backstab attacks in when soloing), and have a feign death 'escape' (where swashie has a mes on the enemy).Swashies get more taunts and get messes, presumably to help save the healer when they get punded on with adds/hate/etc.The solo/group stealth skills seem very similar.Overall, the difference seems to boil down to taunts+messing vs stuns+ruse?Any comments? I'm freeport based so it's easiest to stay there and go brigand <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Thanks.

It's quite simple.  Would you rather save the maiden, or ransom her?  The latter is what we do. <span>:smileyhappy:</span> <div></div>

Brigands also get a slow, in addition to their stuns and other debuffs.Wasn't a choice for me, all my other characters were already in Freeport (as is the rest of the guild).

Well, my other characters - and the guild they're in - are based in Qeynos, so brigand would lose me the shared bank... the guild can happily work across both sides.It seems there's more swashies wishing they had ruse than there are brigands wishing they had the disarming mes skill. Maybe there's a clue there <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
