Crits or 6% increase

[Aull]

<p>I currently have a lvl 33 swash that I solo mostly and have the strgth line for crits, but I was thinking the the 6% poison proc increase from the swashbucker tree might even be better since I don't have enough aa's to do both. Other than burning alot of poisons I think it would be a better move since I have an alchemist.</p><p>Any beneficial advise would be helpful.</p><p>Thanks</p>

Poison is maybe 10-12% of your total damage, the rest is melee (autoattack and combat arts) .. and the melee crit works for both.

<p>Yeah after I though about it for a while crits will always be there where if I deplete my poisons I will not see any benefits.</p><p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
