What level is your swash? I imagine if you're high enough to be worrying about this, you should understand the mechanics of your class well enough to sit down and pick an AA spec for yourself.

this is my setup atm

Feebs set up is my exact setup as well. I am an 80 Raiding Swash (ROK content) that parses very well, hence at the top usually. I used to single wield using Wis spec (Carotidcutter) but have run multiple tests with ACT and always parse better DW. Currently using Charms Way and CC. Hope this helps.

Swaby,

What is you DA self-buffed vs. when in raid? I hear that if you can get over 35% DA while DW you will parse better than going 1H with 100% DA (WIS line spec).

Since for DPS you realy do not need anything of the STA line.. besides i personaly am normaly in the MT grp so i have well over 10k HP.

my set up is as follows.

STR 4-8-4-8-2

AGI 4-8-4-8-2

INT 4-8-5

The Xtra 4 i could have put in strength is not needed.. it is not enough of a gain, and since i am not tanking anything i need not the defense from STR line. So maxed out the attacks in STR and left it alone.

AGI line now.. maxed walk the plank and Avast Ye for max DPS and is a must to get Sailwind... Allows for easier timing and more CA's that you can cast.

STA line not needed...

WIS line not needed..

Int line, i went 4 in INT just to upen up boot dagger, so i maxed out bootdagger for max dps from it and dropped 5 in Thiefs Prowness (i think thats it) for the xtra deagro incase i do pull agro ...and since you play a swash ya know its not that hard to pull it if you arn't careful.

Comparing ACT for this setup and a WIS (Fencer) setup i would have to say that DW is deffinately the way to go.. Parses are always higher DW.

oops weapons (Carotidcutter - Charm's Way)

I can say i have the same setup as everyone who posted theirs because it's just obvious that would be best for DPS at least imho... But...

Yeah... Gunna have to go with that above statement.

Jonitillus

Well... I just switched back to the WIS line.... because I got the epic and I just like one-handed.

Anyone else not left handed?

staying DW for the forseeable future

I have been running test and depending on the mob, depends on what i parse...

Running Protectors Real I ran a Wis Line spec and parsed around 5k ZW.. we ran again this recent weekend and I went DW and still parsed around 5K. But going into grp instances depending on grp setup, would determin what i parse.

Palli, Templar/Warden/Defiler, Troub, Warlock, Conji/Necro/Assasin, Me

With the above grp setups, I have been parsing higher on Grp Instances ZW going with a Wis Spec..

Palli, Templar/Warden/Defiler, Dirge, Coercer/Illusionist, Conji/Necro/Sin,Me

With the directly above setup I have been Parsing Higher on Grp Instances ZW going with a DW spec.

So all in all I guess the point I tried to make with the book i just wrote is, what setup you go with depends on what grps you are running/ what your raid setup is. oh IMHO Coule going down the Wis Line improves hit rates on ROK Raid Mobs.. but maybe i am wrong..

But in the end SONY do me a Favor and make that damn mirror usable out of your bags... (thanks)
