21 strength and 18 agi is best. The speed difference between 155 and 164 wpf isn't worth it. Go for the damage of 7 PS.
sssssssh.
So what now??? Please come to a conclusion or I'll be confused as hell :D21/21

7 athletic on the other hand is worth it.
Sure... convert 14 skillpoints or what? Sounds very stupid...
18/23 (18/24 at 31).
You'll have 6 PS 6 ATH 7 WM at 30 but the extra 3 agi is worth it in my opinion and you only lose 1 ath, but the difference between 6 and 7 ath is too little to make it worth it, and you get a slight speed increase for each extra AGI point anyway. I doubt you will duel in heavy armor, so IF is useless.
18/15 and your set. Anything above is a luxury.
Maybe, but what should I do with alle the skill points? Ironflesh seems to be very unnecessary when I don't use a heavy armor. It's a good way to convert them and to get extra attributes, isn't it?
Ironflesh's effectiveness depends on your dueling skills, if you never get hit, its a waste of points. If you are mortal like me, Ironflesh 4-7x is better then 1 more in ath (or something else). Even at low-armor its useful.
EDIT: Then again, I have no idea what armor you wanna use ^^

6 PS - Alright damage.
6 IF - Survive another hit or a pair of arrows.
7 Ath - This is God-mode, with high enough athletics you can kite around groups of players and run from the zerg-horde when needed.
7 WM - Every point spent into 2h. Hybridization sucks, you'll only kill noobs with 100-130 wfp. My almost dead grandmother can block someone with that speed.
And if you're as mad as me...

On the topic of str vs agi and the various skills...
I prefer speed, both weapon speed and run speed above all else. What's the use of massive damage if you never hit anything?

But the difference between 6 and 7 athletics is so minimal! You can make up for it by wearing a bit lighter armor, putting on your grindface and heirlooming the light armor.
At 6 WM you'll have 155 WPF in 2H, at 7 WM it'll be 164. Unfortunately no one knows what 9 WPF points mean in practice, but since the progression is linear, I think the difference is veeeery minimal.

I must disagree, I noticed a differense when I had 8 athletics instead of 7 while using coat of plates and alot more when using my ninja set. Yes, I guess you could use lesser armor and heirloom it, but personally, I like to keep alot of different sets, so I can't just heirloom one set. :P
Barely any differense on 6 or 7 wm, yes, but still noticable along with the point in athletics, this is a given skill to take anyhow.

Problem is, that I'm going to retire at 31 again, so where is the use of a level 30 build for me?
Well, it depends on what you consider as average, Thomek, but with 15 STR 5 PS 150 WPF and katana you won't take out another 15 str guy with 40 armor in two hits on average. You will do 23 damage on average against this guy. Masterwork katana and 12 STR 4 PS 150 WPF will also not be enough (24.5 damage on average).
