Im currently heading for Swordsman / Doc combo with Novice Scout in for good measure and harvesting some hidefor my guild smithy!
Im thinking of changing to Master Swordsman / Brawler / Medic with 0340 Doc to keep buffing myself (However I loose the ability to cure poison / revive)
Is the skills with Master Brawler really worth the change? as I'll be loosing Scout too (however looting capabilities would be increased - such as I could handle NS or Geo alot more?)
Intimidate2, Warcry2, and melee2hLunge2 worth it?

Intim2 is just a longer lasting version of Intim 1.. Warcry is not worth much these days. And Lunge2 is a good ranged knockdown.
The only major benefit to getting Master Brawler with Swordsman is for the +5 2Handed Speed bonus.

also, warcry2 can be used as a chance to:
-change armor
-change weapons
-heal yourself
-get some distance
-allow you to apply intimidate without being hit
20 seconds is a long time, and in a one on one duel, there might be a time you need a breather to re-think how your going to defeat your opponent. Some people who are master brawlers, are a master of more then one melee profession.
Myself for example, am a fencer/swordsman...... my first few shots are with a stun baton... and if I don't crack 50 damage, I know I'm up against stun armor and probably a stun psg.... so I use warcry to switch to swordsman for the stronger kinetic weapons..
for fencer and swordsman, the only kd is lunge2 and a longer duration intimidation move, means I have to apply it less(and if I'm not mistaken, you get 10 or 20 intimidation in master brawler, that allows it to stick more efficiently, although BE clothes also help a lot)
best of luck,
chee

berserk2 isn't worth master brawler. IMO, it lasts too long. 2minutes where you can't do any specials, mount a bike, peace, pee your pants, or anything except fight normally for a little extra damage.
But overall m.brawler rocks, if you're going melee fighter all the way.You get extended intim2, lunge2 (knockdown), and a bunch of other melee bonues

The best bit in my mind is the Lunge 2. Particularly for professions that dont have a KD skill in their own right.

hehe, well.. i can only answer this from my experiences in the last week or so...
i was Master Doc/Master Swordsman, and i'm now Master Swordsman / Master Brawler / Master Medic / Doctor 0/3/4/0
IF you can afford to buy +15 2hand speed plates/tapes etc (i bought 3 x +5's), then Master Brawler gives you +5, giving you +20 = speed cap with a powerhammer. If you can do that.. then drop master doctor... speed capped swordsman is fantastic
tbh, its like a totally different profession, the damage per sec is fantastic, and its SO much fun. I took Master Brawler purely for the +5 speed.. however intim2 and the knockdown i've found quite useful. Also having 0/3/4/0, i can still buff (with food/clothing) for around 1900ish (only need master doc buffs for PvP tbh.. 1900 is fine for PvE)
IF you cannot afford to get yourself an additional +15 2hand speed... i'd stick with Master Doctor / Master Swordsman.... the +5 won't make THAT much of a difference to you.

Intimidate2, Warcry2, and melee2hLunge2 worth it?
You can be successful with either template. Intimdate2 is very helpful in pve, but then being able to buff and cure everything at any time is pretty convient also. It really depends on your playstyle. I think you will enjoy either template.
