Do you find yourself using novice medic much during the actual fights? I had it many times in the past and its not done much good it seems. Too random and slow from what I gather. The partial Doc temps are fun though.
Verynice rating btw I did the jedi slot thing and fubarred my first toon; was at 1623, then grinded up the new one and have only died once 1467 so far. LOL, still had the newbie death on.
been playing EQII and WoW lately so SWG is ............

My template is currently Master Pike/Master Armorsmith/0404 Merchant. I have been a pikeman in some form or another on Shadowfire since September of last year. I beleive i was one of the first pikeman on the server way back when it opened. I am looking to change my tempate because the armorsmith business is driving me insane. I am wanting a template to mainly PVE with but also if the call arises to hand some rebels a piece of my mind. Any suggestions.
I have thought about Master Pike/4400 TK/0440 fencer and some medic, but I am unsure of which route to take.

-Posted this somewhere else on a reply wanted it to be a thread its a long question so someone answer it please
-
-The power of carbineer isnt dmg that is true now you said something about psg and 80% armor and your done. Thats not true you just use an acid carbine than and the psg is useless. If im not mistaken you can break their psg quite fast with acid weps then switch to your laser. I was pistoleer/bh/smug than i dropped it to pistoleer/bh pist/bh carb/ im deciding either mc/bh carb 4/pistoleer 0044/invest either way i will keep my pistol defenses and i can stand up from dizzy kd's as a pistoleer so it will help a ton if i do get kd'd. Defense stacking may very well die with CB and if it does thats awesome. But if it doesn't than oh well. 1v1..... yes a carbineer can own up stating like mad and controlling peoples posture. 100-400 dmg laser carb isnt that expensive and with medium ap u reduce like 20% of the resists. If they resist your damage its simple pull out an acid carb and then try laser again. cm's of course you don't need to worry about really going through their psg/armor because they cant get maxed defense if they are master. If you want to own pvp pretty much eat thak/ and be mc/mcm apply poison/kd and posture, done.But the question is for me to go carbineer or just supplement my pistols with carbineer.
so...........
invest 3/mc/bh carb/pistoleer 0044
invest 3/mpistol/bh pistol/bh carb/ ton o medic
tell me what ya think of those ill go either way.
It has been suggested to me pvp that I go carbineer/bh Advantages i see: Mad states,awesome ranged kd's,sounds cool, can butcher jedi. Im not worried about my defense since ill have pistol in there only concern i have is dmg which I think is a easy fix. Advantages of pistol: a firedot always at your disposal,stun weapon, bleed,with carbine bh being able to kd my target and mad fire dot with pistol then stop shot them. Either of these sound very appealing to me but I can't decide which. Normally I could just go to the test center and not have to bug you guys but. They took it down which makes life a little more difficult but oh well.
Now your advice please

Meh... not for PvE and slight PvP, I suggest this personally:
Master swordsman / Master pikeman / 0030 Medic / 0014 combat prowess / Master brawler

Master Pikeman
BH 3,0,4,0
Pistoleer 0,0,4,0 (Although might drop BH Pistols and go up the pistol Abilities for the Melee Def)
I'm part of a 4 man BH Gank squad along with BH/Carbineer x2 and a BH/TKM

still looking for a better template than mine.... the 0040 pistol one was ok but not enough ranged melee d.heh, im pisto 0040, i like the temp, its only drawback is what you said, but most people are too worried about sticking dots and dizzy kd to do damage fast enough, and i just heal both of em.
No theyre worried about rifleman because theyre already a doc, and 4400 fencer gives u 40 kd defense instead of the 50 in pistoleer but u get melee/ranged d and other state defenses.

Ihave been seriously considering dropping fencer because of the low ap and relatively low damage. SO, I have a workaround to do in my template. I was thinking either TKM/ M swordsman/ M pikeman or 4000 TKA/ M swordsman/ M pikeman/ rest of sp for force trees and some medic.
I would greatly appreciate some input, as I am a pike newb, and a SWG noob for that matter
and o ya, i hate pvp.

i like your second choice. a good pve template you might want would be master pikeman /master brawler /master swordsman / some of medic. master brawler is good in pve, the extra speed is nice, and intimidate 2 is great. you definitely want at least 0040 medic if your a pve'er, healing yourself is crucial if your fighting high level enemies

I love being Pikeman, but I too, wish it was as powerful a profession as the book makes it sound it should be.
That whole "...hardest hitting..." looks good on paper, but sure isn't true in-game. Hopefully this will change.
Anyways, I'm currently working on:
Master Pikeman (accomplished)
Fencer 4/4/4/0 (2/2/4/0 so far)
TKA 4/0/0/0 (accomplished)
Medic 0/0/4/0 (accomplished)
Scout 1/0/0/0 (accomplished)
Combat Prowess 0/0/4/4 (0/0/0/3 so far)
Enhanced Reflexes 4/4/0/0 (nothing here yet)
The first profession I mastered was TKA. Unarmed was cheap, and VKs were easy to find once I became certified. But being limited to just Kinetic damage caused me problems in PvE. So eventually I picked up some of Fencer, and noticed I almost never used any TKA skills except for meditation and powerboost. So I dropped everything except for the meditation branch, and decided to master a profession that I almost never saw running around, Pikeman.
I've been master Pikeman now for 3 months, and I still enjoy it. The area attacks are just awesome in PvE, especially the ability to area-KD and area-Dizzy. It's a big help, especially, when I'm helping lower-level guildies of mine run group missions. If they get into trouble, they know all they have to do is run in my direction, and I'll toss out a couple of area-attacks while they hit the /peace command, so that I can get the MOB's attention, allowing him to use a couple stims or take a small break to rest up.
I've got my stats tuned just about perfectly, and can use my specials accordingly without any food buffs except for Ahrisa. If I take a sip of Garrmorl and Accaragm I can spam my specials a bit more often. And if I go full-uber-doctor-buff it's just crazy! :-) (though I personally hate the fact that I have to buff just to be able to run upper-level missions. Pfffft.)
Though, PvP is a bit tough, as the speed isn't there like it is for TKA and Fencer.
I'm hoping speed will be addressed in the upcoming (any year now, lol) "Combat Update" (or whatever it's being called now-a-days), though speed isn't the only (or even first) thing they need to address.
More HAM points to work with as you climb a combat profession tree would be especially nice since your beefier specials take more and more HAM to use. (This must be the only RPG game I've ever played where you don't earn more HAM [hitpoints, health, whatever] as you become a higher-level character.)
Well, that's my template and my 2-cents. :-)
Long live the Pikeman. Rebel, Imperial, Neutral, it don't matter. Pikeman is a special breed. :-)

Seems like it would work extremly well. If it's PvP, I know I don't use my heals very much in PvP anyways, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.
Only potential problem I would see, at least in my case, is when I actually PvP against TKA or Fencer, lots of tims I can't even get a hit in because of how much faster masters of those professions are, so I actually switch over to Fencer in these cases.
I know, I know, I'm a Pikeman so why am I pulling out my poking stick. Well, if I can't get a hit in, then I better use a combat mode that will allow me to get a hit in, otherwise I'll be looking up at the stars in no time, lol.
Now, this doesn't happen every time, and it doesn't even happen with all TKA or Fencer masters. I'm thinking that maybe the ones it does happen with may have Armor Attachments and/or Clothing Attachments adding to their skill modifiers, on top of what they already get from being master in their chosen profession. Just a theory though.
All I know for a fact, is the phase the force village on Dathomir is currently in is _wild_ fun this time around, with all the waves of Sith attacks. I've met about a 1/2 dozen other Pikeman which is great, and we've been working as a team, with a couple medics, to efficiently take these badboys out. :-)
