Default Re: The Swashbuckler Raiding KoS AA Debate - Where do you stand, and why?

went on a selfish solo line and took str/int.
Once i finally get a decent 1H will switch to str-wis and dump points into max crit, might experiment a bit with agi/wis to see which pans out the best for me.
But imo the whole wis line is overrated, this is the best line dps line if (and only if) you have a decent 1H.
Seemed to me that DW's were more availalbe in KoS, or was just my luck i got a bag full of dw and no decent 1H.....
Initially i had str/agi but then avast ye was borked and i couldnt really see the difference in dps between int and agi, so went for int. Bootdagger+Brazening is a pretty nice combo. Two updates ago they changed it so now its a positional attack

Besides all this, usually my parses are quite on par with the other rogues ......

was wis/str we have 2 other rouges in guild so i switched to agi/wis i noticed more dps but thats mainly due to the group i am in. i get a dirge and temp so my proc rate is much higher and avast ye does about 9%-11% of my damage base.

I'm currently wis/agi. I was str/agi, and I still miss the look and techinique of DW . But there's no question that I do a lot more dps now. I will agree with the weapons availabilty in KOS is kind of weak for one handed. I wish there were more debuff options in the KoS lines. TS is nice, but that was all there was, and both the brigands have it. I went down the debuff/style lines in EoF because 1) I'm the only swash and 2) I feel thats how the class ought to be; awesome at nothing, but providing a lot of different things. If they changed the KoS lines to provide great utility and debuffs I would gladly swap back to dual wield or whatever needed to provide that to my guild. DPS is just not my main goal, but one debuff isn't worth the dps I could be providing, especially since we already have traumatic swipe on the brigands.

I am shocked to see only 1 str/agi. I think this setup, though maybe not the most effective, could be pretty fun to many people.

Overall, does Avast Ye add more DPS than Blackguard's luck assuming you also have the WIS line?

That's debatable, depends on how your group is set up and how much access you have to DPS mod and proc increasers. Personally, I found Blackguard's luck to be way better with Cheldrak's Shard because I've usually got access to some kind of DPS mod or Illusionary Arms.
