lvl 28 pvp sword dancer

The sword dancer; as she moves with gentle grace through combat she leaves gashes in her opponents as she skirts around them. She is nimble and quick, but strong and punishing.

I have been toying with a pvp character I would like to make that had some flavor to it. I decided I wanted to make a lvl28 scion into a sword dancer. I would have her use appropriate armor for her attributes, and I would want her to have 2 1h swords. I was looking through all the skills I could possibly use, and I came up mostly with:

high dps attack: dual strike, heavy strike
move: leap slam, flicker strike, haste, whirling blades
defense: molten shell
immobilize/slow: freeze mine, bear trap, arctic breath, cold snap, freeze mine, bear trap

I kind of decided on dual strike for damage since i will have 2 swords. I would have leap slam to move quicker or get out of battle if needed. I think molten shell would be nice to give me just a little more leeway with defense. Then i want to be able to slow/stop my enemies, i am thinking cold snap to freeze enemies, does this work in pvp? I haven't had the chance to test that skill on other players yet. or maybe bear trap, but it would be nice to make it so they couldn't hit me back, or at least so quickly.

with the skills i think i would pick i think i would need to mostly focus on STR/DEX, with just a bit of INT

The question of armor comes into play then, would you think using STR, DEX, or STR/DEX armor would be best?

I was thinking of a skill tree of roughly as follows:

I have 30 skills used due to the couple of skill books you get from quests.

So, I am open to all criticism/recommendations. :-)

scion is the worst lld character choice as it takes alot of highway points to get to any specific nodes

duelist is 1000000000 X better for dual wield build

and i would use 2 x ungils gaunch for near max dual wield block

this would be a much more powerful dual sword build



or if you want 1 hand shield with -40% enemy chance to block



or dual wield dagger


you get the idea

you need minimum 1k life to even compete
