so i was on the hologrind...first one says tailor, and i just mastered it
next one says weaponsmith...SCREW THAT
anyways, i originally planned to keep tailor, and try a melee profession to support it (aside from TKA, i never did a melee profession before)
i picked swordsman
im now 1/1/1/1 in swordsman, and thinkiing...wow there is a real lack of skill mods here...i dont know which skill to get, one with no skill mods and some special i may never use or +25 counter attack with no special
so i was thinking maybe trying fencer? or even pikeman? any advice as to which one is better? i PvP rarely (but i do none the less) and usually either solo or hunt with a good friend of mine in PvE...and of course the occasional raids and corvette runs with my guild (speaking of which i get my A$$ handed to me on a silver platter at the 'vette)
any suggestions? i cant do both unfortunately, because i want to keep master tailor
thanks!

If your planning on pve mostly maybe you should stick with swordsman its the best for pve, fencer for pvp but if you went hunting and wanted to do pve solo, any high level things you would have problems with due to the lack of decent AP weapons, it is good for tanking though very good defenses. Not sure about pikeman, ive never been one but they have some AP2 weapons and kinetic and electricity so iam sure it isnt bad at pve, once they fix everything thats wropng with it of course...

pike is great for pve espacially large mobs since it is built on area attacks

My main character's an in-work Commando & TKA. It's a fun mix, esp. for PVE but I wanted to try something different.
I made a new character on the basis of mastering Fencer after looking at the wonderful defensive bonuses for it. I've thought about mixing it with Pistoleer & Rifleman to center around this profession with my new character. I want to see how far this guy can go without buffs in PvE then PvP.
