I'm sorry to post this here, but I had no response in the TKM forum, so this follows under this forum since I am thinking of dabbling in this profession. Maybe someone else is in the same boat as me using tkm and fencer to do damage
I am a TKM/Doc/1011 swordsman right now. From what I have seen I am a good tank and low damage output, so since we can use other professions attacks as long as they are melee, which other profession should I use?
From what I saw using sword specials drains my action fast. So which profession should I use to use as more powerful attacks? I have a katarn knuckler unsliced ADK"ed.
With TKM/Doc:
Fencer 4000 - Imp Scatter Shot (Not sure how much damage it does) and stun recovery
Fencer 3100 - Imp Scatter shot and an Improved version of knockdown?
Master Brawler - Not sure if this is usefull anymore. Has some Unarmed damage and the two attacks at master as well as speed/acc
Not sure what attacks do the most damage, or what combo I should go. I do about 700ish with swordsman but run out of action fast and tend to have to use melee hit/melee strike. I haven't gone melee since the CU so I am not sure.

Ok well the question I would ask do you realy use anything from your doc besides heals and buffs. If not I would say bring it down a bit to somthing like doc 4/0/0/4. Then get your self a Rez arm
. You will now have a lot more skill points to play with.

Are you using TKM as your primary attack profession? Meaning do you fight with TKA weapons?
I my template is TKM, MFencer, Doc 4000, just so you know.
Eitther way to do more dmg drop Mdoc and go with Doc 400o or Doc 4004 if you can't live without the buffs. Doc 4000 will give you almost just as much healing as Master Doc but for a lot less SPs.
Frankly if you want the High Dmg specials swordsmans got them, powerhit, crit strike, head hit are all the highest dmg specials for melee. THe disadvantage to them is that they a high SAC.
I think fencer is a good middle ground between tka and sword, with the ROTW Blade of Ny'somthingorother I do about 900-1100 dmg which is less then swords, with a 2-handed weapon But I can do these specials longer because of the reduced SAC.
But back to my first question if you are using a tka weapon you not going to do much more dmg then that 700. TKA is just a low dmg dealing profession.

Yeah, I perfered not to dabble, and my alt has a rez arm and it's usefull not to have to wait every 30min to buff the next person, even though for the most part 4004doc is all you need. (Plus I am not sure what single mastery skillset would give me level 80. Plus I like having a full set. :/
But what would work best for this?

Yes, I have the katarn knuckler. I do about 500ish with crit hit/strike but I find myself having to do melee hit/strike since the action drops fast, I don't mind not doing the much damage since I am a tank and heal good, can't have it all. But would like to do 700ish without dropping action fast.
This is with a doc buff, booster blue and blob candy.
Just wondering if I should switch to fencer instead. Scatter hit a good damage special?
Wish there was a chart with damage multipler and action costs for all specials.

You should check all the template threads (links to them stickied) they have alot of info and specifics on stuff. But I beleive the imp body hit as the same dmg mulitplier as head hit from swords, Scatter hit does a good amount of dmg, though the combat spam for it is a bugged and shows it doing less dmg.

u need to lower your doc ("yep 'sigh' i spent ages getting that!" 
) and invest maybe deeper in swords where the skill pt cost reduces
