Thanks a lot!

OK, so to build from there...

By getting the second column of fencer two of the boxes are the Melle Mitigation skills, which I already get from being a master Swordsman. So I am pretty much taking it for a +50 versus knockdown (which is an important skill I know, but is it worth a whole column?) Is it worth it? Most would say yes, but it's really up to you to decide. +50 KD Defense isn't all it has though. Through a Dizzy+Posture Down, you can be KD quite well too. That's where the +50 Posture Down Defense will come in handy too

Lets set up this new template:

Master Swordsman

Master Rifleman

Medic 2/0/0/0 (to use stim B's) Novice is enough here. Next best would be 0/0/3/0, but you don't need it.

Fencer 3/4/0/0 With the changes to Medic, you can now make this 4/4/0/0

Using 2 of the last 3 points to get Ranged Support I(for /aim and a slight defense increase) is a good idea.

Alternatively... What if I drop fencer altogether for some TKA defense? Their last column is better than the first of fencer... In a way. The first Fencer line gives you +54 to both ranged and melee defense. The fourth line of TKA gives you 9 less ranged defense, but 6 more melee defense. It's up to you to decide what's more valuable.

Master Swordsman

Master Rifleman

Medic 2/0/0/0 (to use stim B's) Again, just Novice is enough

TKA 3/0/04 Use the pointsremoved from Medic to finish Meditate(you need all of it if any of it in my opinion).

Then get Ranged Support I with the few remaining.

How strong is meditate? It's been a while, but I think it goes like this:

• Novice Meditate- Nothing


• Meditate I- Bleeds


• Meditate II- PowerBoost(Adds half of your Mind to Health, Action, and Mind for 10 minutes. No reuse timer, but takes a minute to get it moving)


• Meditate III- Poison/Disease


• Meditate IV- Wounds/Force of Will(Chance to immediately get up from incap once per hour)

Is Meditate worth sacrificing the status defenses? It's sure handy for several reasons, but those sacrificed defenses could make you never need Meditate. It's another trade-off that you have to decide for yourself if you want it.

I love my Template (see sig)

what kind of KD/posture defense you end up with?

---

Only +20 Def vs KD and +30 to both Posture changes. However, the +60 Def. vs Stun and +50 Def vs Dizzy should not be overlooked. Also, having the amount ofBlock you get from both professions is very useful in conjunction with CoB. Were Block the same or more similar to Dodge or Counterattack, you would see many more people with this template

My template is Master Pikeman / 4-3-0-4 TKA / 1-0-0-0 Fencer / Master Brawler / 2-1-4-0 Medic / 1-0-0-0 Scout.

I got the Medic part for hunting Nightsisters. This way I can heal myself for 1000-2000 damage using 1086 power / 40 med use Stim Es.

Is there a better template for hunting Nightsisters as a Pikeman? With this template I have the following defenses:

Block +115
Combat Equilibrium +40
Defense vs Blind +30
Defense vs Dizzy +45
Defense vs Knockdown +40
Defense vs Posture Change +60
Defense vs Stun +65
Polearm Toughness +31
Melee Mitigation 3

Melee Defense +124
Ranged Defense +102

Block +115
Combat Equilibrium +10
Counterattack +100
Defense Acuity +56
Defense vs Blind +30
Defense vs Dizzy +60
Defense vs Intimidate +20
Defense vs Knockdown +45
Defense vs Posture Change +40
Defense vs Stun +100
Intimidation +20
Meditate +75
Melee Defense +102
Ranged Defense +75
Taunt +40
Warcry +20

Master Pikeman/Master Rifleman/4000 TKA/1040 Medic

A split PvP/PvE template. Unfortunately, I use my T21 75% of the time. I rarely ever use a polearm unless I'm specifically tanking.
