Well at the moment i am TKM MSwords Mbrawler Medic 2240.. I love the tk innate armor but tkm sucks for damage. I like swordsmen for the damage but then i only can max out swordsmen with any speed. TKM takes way to long to max just because if you arnt in a full group and go around hitting everything your little 500 damage from knucklers sucks. I like doing high end content such as the death watch bunker... although its all but impossible now... but also want to spend my time grinding... im not a huge power grinder but will be able to spend some time online over the next few months... i have 6 trees unlocked but still need to fill 4 of them..


Do you suggest I respec to MBH/MR or MBH/MCarbineer?

Are these 2 templates good for both sides of my game?


I have heard some talk of MRanger coming in handy... but what is the exchange on scout exp and how hard is it to get at Mranger?


Thank you

Which trees do you have unlocked and which 4 do you still need to fill?

If you need to fill Senses XP, then Ranger and/or doc would come in very handy. If you need to fill Reflex or Combat branches, then BH and/or your current temp would be very handy.

in reality, the best templete is just one that helps kills quickly. In order to grind quickly with weapons, you will need a group, and if you all focus on the same creature the xp will only come in as fast as the speed it takes for everyone to kill it. You only need to hit it once, but if you want to move on you need to do damage to help kill it.

I finished my grind with TKM / M. Swords / Smuggler 0420. This caps Unarmed, 2Hand, and Pistols at 1.2 million each, plus combat at 300k. There is no problem hitting for 5-600 with a pistol orfists while in a group. Just work together. Rarely does one person make a huge difference in a group (other than a healer). If you want to solo, no matter whattemplateyou pick, it will always be slower than the lamest group.


I "believe" BH combat xp caps higher, but you'll only have one weapon that caps at 1.2 mill while the others cap at 900k.


If you really want my suggestion, take the profs that you enjoy doing and make it work. The FS grind is boring enough as is. Don't make it worse by centering yourself around it, make it center around you.

I like that one too.

Basically, you'll be stuck in the village for at least 15 weeks. In that amount of time you should be able to grind out the 24 boxes with any combination of professions that can keep you alive and shooting/slashing during a group hunt. And for those who say they want to get it done as soon as possible because they hate grinding, jedi is not the profession for you.

I like Master Commando Master Bount Hunter


Im able to Cap Pistols, Carbines, and Rifles experience at 900K


Combat Experience at 900K


and Heavy Weapons experience at 1.2 Million



but be careful, you really need to learn how and when to use the Commando Weapons, theyaggro everything in sight if you don't know what your doingand how to use the weapons and then you put yourself and your groups lives in danger.

mbh/m rifles is best as it is the strongest and you can still get some scout xp for that one senses branch you have from the scout needed for BH. rifles is the strongest offensively of ranged professions and it will do best imo.


it is 18 weeks not 15 minimum

I don't think there is any way to "trick the system" and make the grind faster then everyone else, simply find a template that you enjoy and that will benefit you when you do unlock. The best tempateI think, is one that is based on looking ahead and that has been designed you help you even with some Jedi in there. (For meI took TKM to help me as a low levelJedi with defense and standingsomewhat of a chance against BH)The template really doesn't matter, its factors like the group, the location, and frankly your determination (whether you cap once per day and give up, or cap three times a day and grind half-way to another cap before you log) Regardless of template though, the only things that significantly speeds the grind up is grenades. And no not "Oh I'm not commando though" you just go get some C12s for dirt cheap, get in your group, and if its an appropriate level of group that you should be in for something like grinding FS rather then a semi-noob group based to help others master their professions, you will be fine throwing a single grenade and watching as the xp rolls in (6k combat xp per hit) and your group kills the critters. Im also not saying to use grenades over and over again, just throw one here and there, get some extra xp, and base it so that you cap at 300k when you cap a single weapons xp at 1.2 mil. Doing it at that rate if your persistent can get you two caps per day, and after the routine is down its just patience and waiting for the phases, because it will come.

MBH/MRifles. The guys in my guild are hunting 3 hours a night and capping rifles, pistols and most carbines. When it was dbl XP they capped all3 and a shedload of combat too.


MBH alone allows you to get the900k cap for carbines/pistols/rifles/combat. M Rifles just makes it better as you hit harder.


Oh btw if you dont want to grind MBH, then BH x444 will do the same. If you get MRifles then the cap is higher on rifles.
