Brigand or Swashbucler.

Trying to decide between the 2 classes. I more focused upon soloing ssimply because of the hours i play. So if anyone played both classes extensively which class would you go for? Also given the exact set up which class would producer greater dps?

Cheers.

I have played both classes, and even betrayed back and forth a couple of times.

I really enjoyed the swashbuckler over the brigand. Simple because the Swashy is better at aoe. The Brigand is a little better for taking on solo mobs, even heroics. But the swashy puts out more dps in my opinion.

The swashbuckler at level 55 gets a spell called Hurricane which if a master can give you a 55% chance of having your auto attack hit AOE. Plus you get a 20 second mezz which comes in handy.

The Brigand gets loads of stuns and a very high damage art called Ruse I believe it's called.

Both classes are fun to play although I prefer the Swashy. Both classes solo very well. Both classes are desired for groups and raids. Both classes can tank in an emergency if specked right in AA's.

So I guess it would depend on your play style. Want to take on more heroic mobs? Choose Brigand. Want to take on Lots of mobs at once choose a swashy.

Good luck in your choice.
