Two point distributions for my w/n.. this is for pve, just want peoples input on this.

A.

7+1 Strength
10+1+1 Swordsmanship
9+3 Tactics
10 Curses

B.

1+1 Strength
11+1 Swordsmanship
10+1+1 Tactics
10 Curses

The only real difference is A uses a sup rune, B doesn't.. now this is PvE, so will the added strength make up for the loss in hp? Or would it be better to basically forget strength, and have more hp in reserve? Please give me some input on this.

Generally use your primary attribute at least up to 4, otherwise youre wasting your primary class.
The longer a match lasts the more are runes worth.
In short games runes are just too risky.

11 10 10 1 uses points most efficient when using 3 attributes but that alone doenst make a build good.

for 4 attributes try
12 10 6 6
12 8 8 7 1
12 11 5 4 1
12 9 9 3 1
10 10 9 7 1 1
10 10 10 5 1 1
...

If you'll look closer, you'll see A is a 10-10-9-7, and B is a 10-10-11.. I fail to see your point, if you have one. I just wanted you to pick A or B, pretty simple. And yes, I will try to tank.

Could you post your build? ^_^

EDIT: A couple notes for PvE:
-Do not use a Superior Rune unless you plan to run 16 Tactics with evasion stances. You need as much HP as you can for your healers to work with.
-Maxing your weapon attribute isn't really necessary in PvE, since the damage is the job of the casters. Just have enough to use a max damage weapon.

Um.. not really set in stone yet, but I think I'd like something like this:

Enfeebling Blood
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Mark of Pain
Bonetti's Defence
Plague Touch
Victory is Mine!
Healing Signet/Shields Up!/Watch Yourself! ?

Something like that. I'd like flurry, but what can ya do.

::EDIT::

Somehow.. I'm doubting the usefulness of 9 in my swordsmanship.. sure, I'm only trying to tank, but at least I could contribute *some* damage.. It's not like I get any major benefits from putting the points elsewhere, either.
