To be honest, it's not much of a challenge with my exceptional axe vs an opponent who can't cure the poison. Just stick intimidate, spam 2h Hit 3 till dizzy, 2h lung /dance /kiss /deathblow.
Without my precious it would be another story tho
There is always a bigger fish, i'm sure i will get owned by a fencer with a mind fire stoneknife one day hehe

Sorry for the semi-hijack of this thread, but it's close enough to the questions I have. I'm working on mastering brawler for the first time, am at 3333 right now. I'm thinking I'll master one of the elite brawler profs, to complement rifleman. I've done fencer before with another character, and really enjoyed it. But I don't know whether something else might go better with rifleman. Fencer doesn't have anything that directly targets the mind pool, just scatter. I know TKA has a mind attack; doesn't swordsman? No idea about pikeman.What do you guys think is better in that regard?
So far in my attempt to master brawler (3333, as I said), I have not enjoyed unarmed - damage sucks. One-handed and two-handed I like a lot. Polearm is okay. When you get up to the elite profs, is it comparable to the way they are in brawler? Or are there significant differences between the various progressions? I'm leaning toward swordsman.
By the way, I'll PvE most of the time, with some smattering of PvP if I can get into it. Looking forward to any advice.

The unarmed tree in brawler is awful, but when you reach Teras Kasi Novice... you'll see the difference.
If you are a rifleman you should go for TKA (mind buff + nice and targetedmoves) or Swordsman (hits hard in mind, ap2 blast weapon)

LOL
I can't lose in pvp, and I can tank a Krayt dragon. WT-F kinda crack you on?
Master TK / Master Fencer / Master Brawler / Swords 3/0/4/0
He's a pistoleer so.... he sure doesn't know much of the brawling art.
And if he says Fencer and TK sucks in PvP, either he never did PvP or he did never use a stun baton / vk
& i'm a pistoleer cause grinding for jedi, & i was a fencer for 3 months, swordsman for 2, & pikeman for 5......tk was a 1 week thing cause it sucked so much, pikeman was by far the best for me.

I decided on fencer and meditate 4 in tka. Fencer is kinda fun and i already owned 2 master comandos in a row at fencer 1/0/0/0 / swordsman 0/2/0/3 / master brawler. Just kd/dizzied their asses, and 2hit their minds with my hammer. Cant wait to master both so i can pwn tkms.

I see JLG... I was a TK long ago too when it was one of the worst profession with commando. But you should take a look at them, they have changed =)

Fencer can pvp very well but it can't pve for **edit** dont listen to any of these newbs that say it can. It cannot ap0 kinetic weapons and all the high level creautures are 100% resistant to STUN. So they have ap0 kinetic weapon. Tka has ap1 kinetic weapon more dps in pve then fencer is but less dps in pvp. Swordsmen sucks in pvp but owns in pve. Swordsmen is the best class out for pve right now. I have 2 characters a swordsmen/doc/scout for pve and a fencer/doc/scout for pvp i liked my scout/doc template heal all states heal for 2k and i can have good burstrun to chase after riflemen and i can run up hills very fast so it works for both pve and pvp most of the time the creatures in pve will run when they get like 1/8 health left. If you want an overall pve+pvp class go pikeman. They can pve rather well and can pvp well. But they cannot use normal weapons like other proffesions. They need dot weapons and those can run rather high in money i would suggest not going pikeman though.

If you are wanting to target mind then you should get Swordsman, it hits mind specifically, its sort of the melee version of rifleman, high damage at slow speed (theoretically). Fencer is good as it has great defences and status attacks however it is not high damage.
There are changes when you go from brawler to elite, the biggest is with unarmed to TKA, at novice you get +70 to your damage and are certed for the VK. This jump is something that has been complained about alot.

This is my PVE template and havent found anything yet that I can't solo. (well maybe those new battledroids)
Master Swordsman/Master Brawler (extra speed and acc, intimidate 2 is helpful against strong mobs) TKA 4/0/0/4 ( powerboost, meditate, force of will , lots of defenses) Novice Fencer (more defenses) medic 4/0/4/0 (can heal up to 2k at once with nice stim d's) Scout 3/0/0/0 (terrain and harvest capability)
Only time I get in trouble is when I get dizzied, so I am thinking about dropping scout and geting tka 4/3/0/4 and fencer 0/4/4/0 for extra defense against intimidate and dizzy and kd.
Only do 0040 Medic. That is all you need touse Stim D's. I bought a crate of 1000 Stim D's, and I heal very good. So there you go, more skillpoints for you...
