View Full Version : Homogenize Swash AA use

<p>I'm not sure this is correct, but it seems likely that the new AA points in the Rogue tree will steer most swashes to a single handed STR, AGI, WIS build. Maybe there is some use for an STR AGI STAM build, but I'm not sure it would be better dps or better defense than STR, AGI, WIS. (I can only see using stam if I could use it with wis.) And I don't recall ever seeing a pve swash ever using the Int line, that I can recall. Maybe this is a failure in imagination on my part, but does this spell the end of DW swashes? </p><p>What do you all think?</p><p>Also -- isn't it likely that all swashes will now have pretty much the same swash tree build? -- the style, reach, potency trees (or at least a portion of each)? </p>

No - you won't see a 'cookie cutter' type build in the EoF tree, all 4 areas are almost equally worth spending points in. As far as KoS, yeah, you'll see str/agi/wis for most raiders, the only variation comes with which line does not receive an end line ability. For me it will probably be agi (/duck)

If it ends up being a less than 10% difference in damage, I'm taking INT as my third line. Enough is enough already, I want my FD! I'll likely leave out traumatic swipe, as the brigand has that covered.

Eh, I would definitely not suggest betting on Str/Agi/Wis spec's to be the cookie cutter build.It has potential to be phenomenal for those with only one good weapon, but when you get into the same caliber for the tier weapons as the SoD Sabre and AoNO you will be seeing people using the DW spec.

I think the extra 20 aas will get a lot of different directions. I've heard people say they're going to do all kinds of different combos, always including str and agi, but the third tree has been quite a tossup between sta, wis, and on less frequent occassions, int.

If I continue raiding on Atelos, I'll probably go str/agi/wis. If not, then I'll probably try out str/sta/wis. The extra hp and watnot would be great for casual soloing or grouping.

Personally I cannot wait till I can go:Str: 4.6.4.8.2Agi: 4.6.4.8.2Sta: 4.4.8Int: 4.1Extra HP/Shield block chance, Ridiculous(atleast at the moment) DW DPS, Instant Stealth so our one stealth attack is usable more than once to open with or after a de-aggro.
