I am trying to decide whether I want my template to be Master Rifle/Master Swords(like it is currently) or change it to Master Rifle/Master Fencer.


I want to be good in both PvP and Pve equally. I PvP and PvE regularly. Your opinions are appreciated.



P.S. I don't know if it matters, but I also really want to do the Jedi trials when Pub 10 hits live.

If you want to be a Jedi then go Ranger/Swordsman. Great PvE char which will allow you to own stuff and collect Scoutting XP for owning it. That way you triple up on the XP instead of just getting Combat/2H.

Well, I want to also be good in PvP, since I do regularly PvP, plus It will take some time to get Jedi, so I want a template that I can take breaks from PvE or Jedi grinding and PvP.... Ranger/Swords is definately not a worthy PvP template.

My PvP template is pretty good. Granted its mainly duels and stuff like that, its still a great melee stacker non the less.


Pistoleer(0040)/Master Fencer/Master Pikeman/Swordsman(3000)


Nice defenses and you get two of the best melee professions.


But it sounds like TKM/Swordsman would be good for you. A decent TKM can hold his own in battle, and it will give you good DPS when you go out to PvE.


I had a better idea earlier but I forgot. Im trying my best not to stray too much from your current template.

Well, I appreciate your help, but I really wouldn't like to give up rifleman. I could never get used to an all ranged template.... it just doesnt feel right LOL

If u wanne pvp as master fencer or sword imo u will need master brawler! so going for m-brawler and fencer/sword along with m-rifle leaves u with 18 SPs. And in case of swords/rifle with no good defense-stats...novice med. is afaik a must have for this build...


p.s. if u have no uber-fencer-weapons than forget about it....u will do next to zero damage on an prepered opponent...sticking with sword will be the better way...but keep in mind u need spd.-tapes to cap both - rifle and swords....if u couldn´t get your hands on any spd.-taped use spd-slice weapons till u have these tapes...

Well, I am master rifles, and I dont have any speed tapes, and all my weapons are damage sliced, and I still hit the speed cap. So I dont know what you mean that I need speed tapes for rifle. Swords I need speed tapes, this is true. I just think that if I had all the defenses of fencer, with the firepower of rifles, I'd be uber....

heh...i recently did the same thing....was a Master CM and Master Rifleman....dropped CM due to the nerf....this is wat my template looks like now : Master Fencer / Master Rifleman / TKA 4-3-0-1 / Novice Med ... can hold ur end in a good fight and is great for PvE .

Yeah I decided on the master fencer/master rifle template, but I don't know whether to get master brawler/medic with it or the TKA 4/3/0/1 and medic.... Thanks everyone for the help though.

Well your right, I use a 7.5 speed T-21, so I am not completely speed capped, but I still hit for 1119.0 damage a second with headshot3, which is pretty good. I've had Master Rifleman a while now, and I am pretty satisfied with the damage I dish out in both PvE and PvP(keep in mind I do both frequently).


I just wanted another prof which I could dish out the same kind of good damage in both PvE/PvP.... It just seems to me(but I haven't been MSword a long time) that Swordsman is pretty much useless in PvP unless you have INCREDIBLE Speed attachment(which I have none).


So Thats the reason I wanted to go Fencer/Rifleman, but I guess its all about the peron's own opinions and experiences. I would like to get at least one more opinion on the matter though.

Hmm, a good t21 have 7.x spd....As Master Rifle u have +90spd...U are not spd. capped...Lets say your t21 has a spd of 7.5 and u will use a 33% spd PWU...pop pwu on t21 and u have ~5spd. this is enough to cap u with hs3 but some other specials are not capped...trust my... if u wanne see yourself justgo forhttp://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.phpb/c that most rifleman i know will not use a t21 while pvp...they sticking with jawa for stun-damage or dxr-6b for good accuracy


Was a Master Fencer/Sword/Pistoleer 1043 myself for some weeks and havin´ a +330 max. dmg stun-bat(dmg-slice+pwu)....while scatterhit was broken and bypassed any toughness fencer was pvp-king...by now your a beating with an ap0 weapon against ap1 stun armor, +40% psg´s and all kind of buffs/foods/drinks/spices...the only way for me to deal some serious damage was using dot-weapons...dont like to fight with dots so i droped m-fencer....


p.s. may jedis are uber...but with non fs-chars there is no uber...for each and any there is a solution....
