I'm Master doc/ Master swords on Chilastra and have been since before the CU. I had planned to respec to tkm, but was having so much fun as master swords after the cu I've decided not to respec my char at all. So I can't tell u much about tkm, except some of the abilities like force of will aren't working right now. I've always preferred swords though, I do alot of damage in fewer attacks 700-1700 per attack depending on which attack I use. I love the different healing abilities available to me in combat and can solo alot of things with this combo that non-docs can't solo.

very interesting. i do have a question right now im working on master doc and master CH and find that with this combo i am lacking good defense ability. when i read your thread about sword i start to wonder if this would be a safer bet for doc. Dont the sword prof get good defense numbers? currently if i have a pet out and he is attacking and i heal someone in my group it get attacked and instead of my pet and with no real defense like maybe a defense of 35u can guess what happens.i think i will try out master sword too but if u have more suggestions on possible career paths i would like to hear them. i am looking for profs that will make my doc tough in the way of defense and yet still ablt to dole out some damage when needed. any thoughts?

i think it depends on your preferedgame style.
Doc is a great addition to Swordman. TKA is a great addition to Doc.
If u want tosolo stuff or want to be the damage dealer in a group ushould go Swordman for the damage outputandadd Doc to keep yourself alive (active attacking).
If u want to play Doc as your main role (means healing people during combat) TKA is a great addition as u can stand the agro u get for healing people (passive defending).

I am doc/tkm and am starting to love it. I feel like it makes me tough enough to play the doc in combat because my defense is so good now. I love not having to wear armor, and I have CoB set as my auto attack so I can take a lot of damage before I get into real danger. This way I can help my team much more than I have to heal myself. Doc/tkm is really hard to beat in PvP, I havent tried doc/swords in PvP yet though.
I think c-mot hit it on the head, if you want to play doc then tkm is better than swords. If you want to do combat primarily then doc is a great addition to swords.

TKM, Master Doc is the better route to go for soloing lvl 70+
as a TKM, you can use the knuckles of the katan which have a better base dps then any sword weapon i have seen yet. also you get cob and TKA armor which is around 10k in resists (6k for TKA armor and 4k for cob). Also in long fights, TKM can take more damage which means less heals, which in turn means more damage output because you dont have to stop and heal.

Doc Swords then get either 2200 tkm or 0202 tkm. First choice is powerboost with improved COB. Second choice is improved COB with increased accuracy and defenses. I find doc and swords is better than doc and tkm. TKM doesnt do enough damage. Swordsman can hit people for 1100 in PVP. Hammers hurt.

What about adding a line of swords to TKM/Doc? How would that be PVP/PVE?

I tried that. Damage output cannot be matched. Good armor and improved center gets up there with TKM defenses. Powerhammers outdamage TKM. Since we are doc/tkm or doc/swords we cannot count on the other combat professions to make our damage output higher. I chose swords because it hits very hard. Only thing is action cost. Make sure your buffed good or you will be too tired alot.
