Starting a Erudite SK, any advice?
I think they look cool and their stats are about the same as Dark Elfs right?
So where do I put the starting points?

Was thinking 5 to agi, to get away from the under 75 penalty, then even out sta and str to about 80 each?

Should I go sword and shield or 2hs? or keep them all maxed?
I have never played a tank before.

Where should I go? What quests should I do? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

You could add 5 to Agility but only if you have left over points after dumping everything into stamina. I think you get 20 points and I think you can place at least 15 into stamina before it doesn't let you add any more.
Strength is the other option as erudites are lacking in that department but personally I think between the syphon strength self buffs and the fact that STR is a bit more common of a stat to find than AGI in classic SK gear, it might be a waste.

I'm pretty sure Erudite SKs can bank in Freeport with very little if any faction work (dubious to the mobs that are normally KoS to Shadowknights) which is a bonus too.

No clue about here, but on live, erudite necs could bank in Neriak. SKs being tank necs would likely be able to do that also, but I can't vouch for either live or here.
