Gear Setup question

[USAFJeeper]

<DIV>Hey all, Yes I see the gloom and doom here <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   But, I have a 48 troub alt and I am wondering if my going sword and board right now is a good idea.  I parsed myself fighitng ident mobs solo and I seemed to parse about the same on each, granted the weapons changed...  SHould I stick with dual wield or be the odd one with the sword and board?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(PS my main is a raiding ranger, so I have to be a masochist to want to play a troub as well)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Take the stamina AA line and max out fortissimo and you'll be out-dpsing all us duel wielders.

Thanks I will look into that.  I was building the troub to be an asset on raids rather than a solo machine so to me, being a buffbot was not that bad an idea <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I know sacrilege!  I just know that I love having a flower power troub in my group as a ranger popping arrow crits in a really mean monster whose having a bad day!
