lol but seriously, I am in a tick of trouble atm. Turns out I don't have Razorend, though I could turn in my very last set of(very expensive, but got there money's worth) tome pages to get one. I've got weapons, but I haven't got any sort of decent armor to speak of.
I also have the feats Bastard Sword and Heavy Armor Training, so if I want to continue down the path of buckling up all my swashes, I am looking at at least 2 feat swaps. After a few other leveling mistakes it may just be smarter to do an LR.
Thats assuming I even want to go that rout, though. What if I go warchanter, strap on heavy armor, pull out my trusty illegitimate child, and jsut not have an off-hand? It would certainly look cool.
But swashbuckler does seem pretty friggin crazy...
Re: weapons, you don't seem to be listening to the advice offered here. Razorend is by no means "essential". A swashbuckler's power comes from the T5 abilities. Which weapon you are using in heroics is a distant secondary concern.
You could easily run a Swashbuckler from 4 to 20 using a Sky Pirate's Dagger or Tiefling Assassin's Blade and still out kill most people in a random PUG. Hell, pick anything on this list and run with it.
http://ddowiki.com/page/List_of_Swashbuckler_weapons_with_improved_crit_profileIf for some stupid reason you don't have any of those sitting in the bank, go to the auction house and buy the best RNG <elemental> Damage of Critical <elemental/piercing> Damage light/finessable weapon you can find and go faceroll the missions.
Re: armor, are you seriously a multi-TR who exploited but can't make any light dragonscale armor? Even if you haven't exploited, it takes half a day at worst to farm 20 black or white scales to make it. Again, especially in heroics, you could roll with some RNG armor off the AH and do just fine on a swashbuckler.
Suck it up, do the feat swaps or a LR, get a finessable weapon and light dragon armor, then go enjoy swashing...
