I didn't notice the sword and board bit...

I was kinda wondering why someone would choose Sword and Board > Greatsword, but this makes more sense.

I've been trying to wrap my head around how to make a dex-based skirmisher more viable in large scale PvP. I thought about role swapping for big events but was unsure how the stat reqs and skills would play out.

I wonder if a one-handed sword raises dex or str during PvE...would make a big difference during grinding.
