Sorry if I sound silly everyone, but what do you all think of Swordsman/Doc? That is what I am, and I pretty much debate on a daily basis if I want to go TKM.
Thanks,

Sword/Doc - King of PvE.
TKA/Doc - Jedi Killer.
If you do PvE, stick with Doc. If you do PvP, get a Acklay Power Hammer, save some money for SEA's to speedcap - and you're all set.

Rifle/doc, take a thak and stay at range, you won't have to worry over kd. With dots ruling pvp, and uber armor, you need rifle for its stun and acid damage in pvp. Rifle dots aren't that hard to come across either, not as easy as pike, but, they're alot more common than vk's.

I've been a Rifleman/Doc for a long time. I finally gave up rifles completely and getting close to mastering TKA. Both have their advantages/disadvantages. I find that i can do missions much quicker as TKA now then i was with Rifleman.
The odd thing for me in the whole change was getting used to wearing armor and worrying about its damage from melee combat. As rifleman i never worried about armor and just gulped down some brandy. Now as TKA i'm having to get buffed more often and check condition of armor. Good thin i can buff myself. Thank god for meditate.

I've been both a tkm/doc and a rifleman/doc, and I would have to say rifleman/doc is better.
It does more damage of varying types in PvE.... no1 can outdamage a speed capped master rifleman. Janta missions are twice as fast strafe2ing a lair then spin2ing one. I made 600k an hour as a rifleman, more like 400k as a tkm.
Rifleman is better in pvp then a pure tkm as well, with a heal macro you wont get KD/dizzied, so you can kite melee tanks easy enough.
The only weakness for the rifle/doc template is jedi. If you cant hold ur own against jedi pvp can be frustrating. TKM can take on most jedi, whereas rifleman just dont have the accuracy for it.

I can pull in more than 400k if i relly feel like it. Just dont use spinattack2, use KD/dizzy spam unarmed hit3 then move onto next target. this to me seems to go much faster than spinattack2.

For doing janta missions u dont need armor at all. Buffs are all thats required.

Rifleman doc is all around better. You can heal the dizzy that tkms dish out with a simple heal state macro and quite frankly, rifleman do MASSIVE< HUGE< GARAGANTUANT amounts of damage. TKMS really can't compete when it comes to dmg. If a rifleman has a tank, because rifleman defenses arent very good, they can outdamage any profession in the game. In pvp, they are awsome because we can attack those that run out into water (DREAD on bloodfin) or try to get in a bike to run away. I have tried melee and they just arent as good.
