One problem is that you won't have Ranged Damage Mitigation 3. I was considering some similar template awhile back but decided against it. Go for either carbines or pistols, both are good when you get the BH trees for them and it's pretty comes down to what kind of playstyle you like.

Well I dueled some peeps buffed, armored people last night to test it out and damn it rocked. I'd spam confusion shot till dizzy stuck, then chargeshot2 + crippleshot, if KD didnt stick I'd repeat, then once they're down I'd switch to my 400 max damage geo pistol and spam the hell out of torsoshot. Most people have stun resist helmats which work against AP0 Geo's pretty well, but most people dont bother with stun chestplates. Needless to say I beat a Rifleman, TKA, and a nearly master Fencer with minimal damage to myself each duel.

As a wookiee char with very poor armour options, this template has seen a rise in my success at PvP and PvEand made the game much more fun for me

I personally find master TK and master Fencer to be redundant. What matters most is what you plan to do with your character, PvE, roleplay, PvP?

Well i said, i use it for PvE and PvP. I was Master Commando for 6 months and the lack of armour and defences made me very easy prey in any situation, and i had to rely on the initial damage and fire DoT. Once this was nerfed along with the bleeds my char was effectively useless on his own and even in a support role, with the horrible accuracies that commandos are blessed with my character times were very hard.
The arrival of wookiee armour helped very little because of the low resistances (when compared to the guys walking around in 70-80% suits), so i decided to use my SP to keep me alive, rather than the armour, hence the reason why i went for TKM and Fencer. TKM is a very fast attacking skilland apart from some of the high ranking NS with 100% kinetic resist, i do just fine in PvE, dishing out some of the the highest damage in the game.
Fencer is great because TKM only has kinetic dmg, so when i come up against a guy in 80-90% kinetic armour, i switch to the stun baton for my attack. Plus while im lashing out with the baton, my dodge skill mods come into play and im hit very rarely. These skills are far from redundant and are 2 of the most frequently used skills at the moment.
Having the pistol tech tree also gives me certification for the sonic blaster, yet another source of stun dmg.

i strongly disagree.
TKM for poison/disease/wound cure and force of will, plus additional state and melee/ranged defenses. Also, A one-use Dizzy/KD, or a pure KD if you prefer to use another move to guarantee a Dizzy first.

Master Brawler
Fencer 0040
Pistoleer 0040
Smuggler 0040
Master Swordsman
TK 4000
this template gives:
Counterattack: 110
Defense vs. Blind: 90
Defense vs. Dizzy: 100
Defense vs. Stun: 90
Defense vs. KD: 75
Defense vs. KD is a bit low but since you're hard to dizzy its ok
You get extra intimidate etc. with Master Brawler
You have Feign Death if all else fails and can meditate to heal yourself with TK
Your main skill is Master Swordsman so you can do decent damage...
What do you think?

Tka 4000 only lets you heal poison/diseases not wounds, you need master tka to get that bonus.
Feign Death only works while standing so you may want to up that kd defense a bit. (ie: it won't work if you're belly flopping like a fish).
Either drop Feign Death (a griefing tool for yourself) and pick up 0440 Fencer instead or keep Smuggler but switch to 0400 Fencer, putting your KD Defense to 125. Or if you're not into pvp, drop TK 4000, keep smuggler and keep 0040 Fencer, but add 0400 Fencer.
My 2 cents.

Unless TKA changed with the new patch, 4000 TKA does heal wounds when using meditate.
I like FD for emergencies.
I dont like the template overall, but thats only personal taste, not because I think it wouldnt be effective.

You can heal wounds at 4000 TK, you don't need to master.

Whats you defense verse lower poster? Thats how I get most people. Hit3 Area3 Area3 Lunge1
Its pretty safe to say most everyone has Def vs KD. Especially with the food. Most dont have Def vs Lower Posture.
