Hiya, my template has just enough points to take (TKA/Pikeman/Fencer/Swordsman) up to novice +3 blocks. I'm thinking that I would help my defense (am a CH and maybe gonna go pistol or ranger). Was wondering which of the melee branches you'd take only to novice +3 blocks and why?

Thanks.

TKA is good because of the Meditate ability. Also, if you get Knockdown, you have another advantage. I'm not sure where the other melee professions get their knockdown abilities, though so it may not matter.

Does meditate actually work? I heard that it was a little bugged at this time.
