Default Need Help/Suggestions

I am currently working on a Canthan born sword warrior(W/Mo) and I am planning on using my amulet to get one of the exalted aegis'. My question is, in general, which would benefit me more as a PVE sword warrior; the tactics or strength version?

Also, for those who are willing, please share you attribute point distribution and builds. (PVE and PVE sword based)

Thank you very much.

I say strength, because you always should have 9 strength even when you PvP or run, while in pvp you normally don't have 9 tactics, unless you are a stance build.

All in all I prefer strength.

In PvE, personally I prefer Tactics over strength.

Reasons are:

1) Most shields require Tactics, few require strength
2) Healing Signet gives you more health (Strength's Endure Pain and Defer Pain is only temporary)
3) Stances increase your defense

Strength has different ways to heal and gain energy, but Tactics is better used for Swords and Axes (in my opinion).

I assume that the monk is for hard res, and condition/hex removal only. Of course Balthazar's is also a common element. Anyway, the monk side is not for healing. So, its all based on how you want to play your character. Pure offence is Strength. Mostly defense and some offense, Tactics.

Hope this helps a little.
