Hi All,
I am currently a Master Rifleman and Master Doctor... it works pretty well but I want to be a little tougher. I was thinking of doing either TKA Fencer or Swordsman instead (still with Master Doctor). Anyone got some insight into which one I should pick and why? Thanks in advance. Your fellow doc...

It all depends on what asspects of the game u want to favor.. i mean, MD+Swords is probually the ideal PVE template for sure, fencer and tkm have pros and cons both are good in pve, but not all types.
I myself PvP alot, and have Master doc/ TKM and i love every minute of it, i found fencer alone wasnt that great in pvp, i had to stack to really compete with the big boys, but with TKM its a great combo, good defences, FOW, Powerboost, self heals. I wouldnt change it for the world

I must say thatI love TKM....especially since I am one again, for the forth time.
Swordsman is also great damage dealing and can choose between blast and kinetic damage. ie when a NS Elder comes after me for clearing her cave I run as she is 100% kinetic resistant. A swordsman can beat her head in in a few minutes if he is reasonably armored.
Fencer I am prejudiced against. I see a fencer I immediately think "Defense Stacker". /flail
To answer your question, I suggest TKM/Doc.

For PvE I would do Master Swords / MDoc
For PvP I have done TKM / MDoc and it worked well. Usually the only folks that kill me are ranged folks that target mind. But stay near bldgs or walls and you should be ok.

Master doc/Master fencer here. I think fencer for pvp is still better at the moment. TKM is great I have it on my second character. I dueled a TKM doc and we couldnt kill each other. Next time I will take a thak and I will win hands down. She literally had to keep me kd to keep me from damaging her. Kinetic only damagereally stinks. Fencer is great for groups as well because of the ability to stay alive with COB.Pop a Pikatta pie and you really have good dodge. Really if your a doc, it negates some of the benefits of the meditation line. Although FOW is very nice.
As far a swords go, I had that fiirst and it does rock PVE. However, swordsmen can't seem to hit me especially if I cycle states. I doc/sword does better but I still have an easier time against them than a tkm and if they dont have doc they never seem to hit me if I put states on them.
If you had rifle be prepared to deal less damage than that. It is noticably different.
For what its worth..

TKM / M Doc I have played for a while. In group PvP, you rock. I run around hitting everyone with states. The only thing that will consistently own you is a master rifle on thakillo. But if you stay in a group, you probably will do alright.
PvE wise, I could tank for days. Its a great build for NS.
Overall its a good template. If you are rich and can afford sword speed and a good acklay hammer, then swords is better overall for PvP and PvE. But besides that I would go TKM.

I'm master rifleman/doctor right now, but I'm thinking of changing to a melee myself. You have all made some really good points, stuff that I didn't think about. I guess I just need to weigh the pros and cons and then flip a coin. I can't decide either. I'm torn betweem TKM and Sword. Oh well.

I'm fencer doc and have been for a while now. Against a well prepared opponent wearing stun psg and stun comp, fencer really can't do jack for dmg. only thing you can do is hit them with dots. stun batons are a joke against stun comp/psg, and our kinetic weapons don't do a thing against 80-90% resist armor. As a fencer doc I can outlast pretty much anyone in group PvP, it is hard as hell to kill me, but I can't kill anyone else who is well prepared so I just run around healing my group and drawing fire because I'm hard to hit.

Only downfall to pvp as a TKM is the 80% kinetic compo armor everyone weres, I suggest fencer for now, then after the CB go back to tkm. Swordsman doc all the way for pve tho
