Swash ahead of brig?

[Zaketherake]

<p>I haven't played this game in a while and am wondering where brig and swash is at.</p><p>I know some of the differences, like brig has stuns while swash has better aoe.</p><p>When it comes down to it though, which is wanted more in a group and which can perform better dps?</p><p>Also, is either decent in pvp?</p>

<p>For soloing the brig's stuns give them an advantage for fighting names.</p><p>In groups the swashie's ability to do ae damage makes them a better choice for doing most of the sf and tos instances.</p><p>Both are pretty comparable for pvp.</p><p>Raids generally want at least 1 swashie and brig, but given the choice, raids would take extra brigs into raids over another swashie.</p><p>~Raznor, 90 Swashbuckler</p>

<p>I agree with Raznor.  Also, there are a lot of shared abilities between brigs and swashies.  Both get T-swipe, Dance of Metal, FD, Boot dagger, etc.  Pick up groups can go with either generally...brig stuns, and dispatch are nice, swash debuffs are nice.  Both do decent melee dps. </p><p>I believe both are capable PvP classes, based on my limited experience in BG as a swash, (tying up opposing team healers, melee AE damage, an AE knockdown, interupts, etc).</p><p>I suggest you try them both, as their similar in nature...if you can play one class well, learning the other should'nt be difficult.</p>
