What is a better template for PvP AND PvE. Master Fencer/TKM or Master Fencer/Master Swordsman?
well they are all part of the brawler tree so just see what you like. of course i have always believed in playing a character that feels like the "vitual you" and not whats cool or popular. hence the reason i have only mastered 2 professions since opening day. i used a holo once and never mastered the profession it said cause ididn't feel likewhoring my character out.
TK has wound healing, powerboost and force of will which are all great skills.
once i got my butt handed to me in PvP and was quick with the force of will. after i got up and out of range of the two attacters i drained their mind and did a ranged deathblow. after that i knew i could notfight without FoW even if it is only once an hour.
if you really wanted you could master all 3 at once (if you do not master brawler and have no medic/scout skills). then just fight a bit and which ever of the two styles you use the most is your template.
hmmm
fencer/rifleman or fencer/carbineer.
2 melee will get you kited all over, especially in PvP.
as a master rifleman / fencer i do very well in both. i can conceal shoot, pick off single targets out of bunches of mobs, defend myself, have lots of different dmg types and specials at my disposal, and i dont get kited.
my only problem seem to be combat medics, but, even then i at least menage to kill em before their DOTs kill me.
I'm a master fencer/tkm with 1010 (working on 1040 ) pistols and this template works great in both PvE and PvP. I have no problems in PvE, rarely get hit with COB running and do decent damage. Anything up to enraged rancors is easily doable solo.
PvP it's even better. Just for an example, last night I needed some guildmates to kill me so I could get rid of some buffs, so I took my armour off and duelled 4 of them, 2 commandos, a fencer and a TK. It took them 5 minutes to kill me and I even tried to help by changing posture when they finally got me dizzy so I would fall down. This surprisedall of us, we thought with 4 attacking me I'd be dead in no timebut it shows howwell the template works.
