Is Agility at all useful for Swashbucklers? (Advice needed)

[Sakura]

<p> As far as I know,</p><p> all Agility does is give you more "mana" and evade and parry %.</p><p>But what our main job is during raids is DPS. So what use is Agility since it doesn't improve "to hit %" or critical % like other MMOs or RPGs? Am I to say that the only stat that we should pump is Strength?</p><p>And to  max my DPS, what tree should I MAX under the "Swashbuckler" line?</p><p>I have maxed my strenght line and semi maxed my agility line and have 12 points to squander (I am level 42 Adventure and Level 46 Achievement )</p><p>Advice needed.</p>

<p>As for agi, it is useful for a raiding Swash.  Agi = power = CA usage = dmg.  Though your fist focus should be str, with the next focus on both agi and int (for poison proc dmg).  Auto attack is only so good for dps if you can't use any CAs due to OOP.</p><p>As for AA under the swash tree, Reach and Style will max out your dps.  When we got 20 extra AA points in the tree, I went back and picked up potency for the poison proc.</p><p>Hope that helps.</p>
