I'm TKM/MCH. Naked & unarmed with only the TKM bonuses, melee def 160, ranged 130. RL friend is master swordsman, master BH. His melee & ranged def's are 246. When operating as a swordsman, he cannot tank as well as I. We were in the warrens screwing around, he'd pull 5-6, i'd let him tank2, while i pulled the rest onto me. We kill his 2 first, and then start on the ones I'm tanking...and I still live longer. I don't think the defensive bonuses from different templates actually stack anymore. I believe that everyone is merely seeing the bonuses, a la BE clothing/etc showing more than a +25 bonus, even though 25 is the most bonus you'll get.


Anyone else have input?


I just have found it quite odd that he's master of2 combat professions, with far higher melee & ranged defense stats, with me having only TKM & the nilch for bonuses from CH.

Only certain defenses stack, while a swordsman/bh combo has general melee defense stacked it doesn't really add up all that much when compared to the innate armor a tk has ontop of melee/ranged defenses.


Now a swordsman/pikeman or somthing akin to this would be considerably more formidable as a tank, I have a character thats M-Swordsman - xx44 Pikeman - and Nov TK - master brawler, although the dabbling aspect keeps his cl down hischar is stacking in a way to give additional protection and accuracy in general melee form.


I also think the innate armor of a TK is much better than anyother wearable armor. My MTK/MDoc still seems to do alot better than some of my other templates I mess with, The swordsman expiriment above is still a work in progress lol.
