I have the same template. I can't tell you if it's better or worse for anything compared to another melee template, but I can tell you it is my favorite template so far. Using CoB, I can stand for a long time in combat. Using stims, it's the perfect PvE template in my opinion. And not a bad PvP one either.

Using different weapons will obviously grant you different stats. I believe with that template, a TK weapon provides the highest defense bonus...with 310 melee and 245 ranged (Don't quote me on that.) defense.

Offensively, the Blade of Nyenthi'oris (Fencer weapon) gives me 540 DPS before specials. The defense is slightly lower than a TK weapon would grant, but I deal much more damage.

I was going for that.... butI recently respecced to M Fencer, M Swords, 4/0/0/0 Doc.... I was worried that I would miss meditate.... but you can heal your own wounds, use stabilizers(for status cures) and use nutrient injeciton, which isn't as powerful as powerboost, but you do gain bactajab, bactashot and bacta infusion, which will more than make up for the lost 200 health.... I do really miss the TKA armor.... I could wear whatever clothes and look good fighting, but now I'm forced wearing this padded crap....

IMO the defensive bonuses are offset by the healing powers of 4/0/0/0 doc

*Edit* You also lose improved COB when dropping TKA completely, which hurtsa WHOLE LOT, trust me, you can, however, use regular COB, which gives you half the defence and a shorter duration.

I thought that the Dev's said that no one will be able to master three professions at once? When did they change this?

they tried to implement this by adding the new profession requirements, but you can still master swordsman, fencer, and teras kasi and have 4 points left. there is no artificial wall preventing you.

imho its not a good template if your gonna go all brawler pike has some good skills in it that shouldnt be passed up heh

I found I prefered this combo over the other ones for melee.

I love the fact that it gives great defense vs. both melee and ranged. Using food and clothing defesive bonuses I've gotten my Melee defense up to 467, with a 307 ranged.

I also found that i did the best damage with the knuckles of katarn.(554 dps, and stillunsliced), which also allows for the highest defensive stats.
