Is 11 athletics worth those 20 wpf more I would get if i went 9str/30agi?

Of course.

In my experience wpf doesn't really matter at all. Personally, I'd go 9/33. 3 IF/PS 11 ATH 111 1h wpf. That one point of powerstrike will do more than all that wpf.

+62 WPF is actually a 9.3% damage increase, unless I'm grossly miscalculating something here.

You ain't.

I know that WPF helps to get the top end of damage output.

Yeah...but those 6-7 points you put into WM isn't worth the 9% increase...1 point of PS is already 8%.

In the end it's a tough call, then, huh?

Either go for more damage and less health, or less damage and more health?

Agility builds are prone to get one-shotted by just about anyone anyway, but that 8 or so HP can be the difference between surviving a hit or not. On the flipside, Agility builds need all the damage they can get to ensure they don't glance...

1.3% damage or 8 HP...

Awesome build, good luck with it and the scottish sword ;) I can recommend 4/33 or 4/36 using a wakizashi too, good fun! And yes, 1 athl is worth the 20 less wpf.
