Keeping in mind I have about 60k now and I'm going to do some bordoks later, and I'm 0300 brawler and 4444 medic and 2040 scout, do you think I should getsome composite armor? I currently have the R---something sword, the one you get certified for at at 1H level 3, and if I happen to find some 80% composite armor, the set I mean, should I get it? Right now it's either that or upgrading a few other things such as my weapons and getting some grenades. Or is there some better armor I should get? Also, if I go master Fencer, Master Medic, Master Doc, I can buff myself, no? So, since my stats are all 400 except in mind, which is 1000, 1000, 1000, would it not just be best to buff myself and drink some brandy or eat pies when going on missions rather than bothering with musician buffs? also, with those proffesions, will I have enough points over for a bit of scout?
And since I'm here and too lazy to make another topic, I'll ask it now. When I go jedi, what happens to all my current skills? The brawler, medic, scout, etc.. do they all simply dissapear and I get 250 new points to use in the jedi proffesion group or what? And what about piloting? do those skill come out of my 250? Thanks.

And another thing. If I get...say....TKA, will I get any bonuses for my fencer even though I'm going to use 1-handers? Simply because fencers aren't as good as swordsman at PvE and I'm wondering if I get swordsman or pikeman or tka will I get any bonuses on my fencer?

If you pick up TKA you will get the various state defenses and melee/ranged defense. However, if you want to get all the defenses from TKA, then you will not be able to master doctor, as you will not have enough skill points.

Nuts. Well, I guess I'll go MM, MD, MF for now unless you say getting TK is worth it. That and I'm going for Master Saber, Master defender, 4004 Healer when I get jedi so I'll just start disbanding doctor tree and at the end let go of fencer. But yeah, is it ok for me to just have a fencer as my ONLY attacking proffesion? Should I get a few skills in swordsman or pikeman or TK? Thanks.

ok here goes...
1.Yes, you should get some composite armor, but only the helmet, chestplate, gloves, and boots. You wont need anytrhing else with fencer. Keep in mind that composite armor is very expensive.
2.No, there is no better armor than composite at the moment.
3.This wasn't a question, but dump the ryyk blade and buy a gaffi stick (gaderiffi baton)
4. yes at master doc you can buff yourself, and if you allready have 1000 in every mind stat, then you shouldn't need ent. buffs, just brandy and such. You still might want to get ent. buffs when pvping though.
5. No, i think If you master fencer and doc, you will not have the 15 skill points left over to pick up nov. scout.
6. Jedi takes skill points, so as your jedi template get's more and more advanced, you will need to drop various skills in order to afford Jedi skills
7. No, piloting professions do not take skill points,theyare free.

>>5. No, i think If you master fencer and doc, you will not have the 15 skill points left over to pick up nov. scout.
At Master Fencer and Master Doc, you still have 18 SP left over, so could go novice scout with 1st level skill. In my case, it's exactly what I'm doing, with hunting so I can harvest just a little better for resources. My other thought was artisan 0001 for the surveying, but I blew that off.

Ah, it seems you are correct. Wasn't too sure on that one

If it's any consolation, I cheated and used this.

Never mind, I guess 3422 aint bad. That being said, I check out doctor and the first tree is for wounds, the second might (if I understood it correctly) give you enhancements at 2, the third is medicine use +10, and the fourth is crafting. If so, then I guess I'll only go
Doctor 4200 or even 0200 and spend those 4 points on TKA or maybe swordsman or pikemen. Either way, I aint getting the third or fourt skill of doctor. I just need to find which of the brawler proffesions will best help me out as fencer. Help appreciated.

Because I haven't finished it yet?
Yeah, I just meant why take that path. Then I forgot dodge was 2nd tree, not 3rd. Sorry.

Yeah. Admittedly, I was going across the board first (except for finesse which collects xp on it's own) when I finally read to finish up dodge first. At the time I was 1110, so it's just worked itself out this way. No matter... by this weekend I will be Valcyn's newest master fencer.
Then off to finish the doc grind. Just in time to create my first alt, which (because I'm a glutton for punishment) will be a chef.
