I was planning on going:-
Brawler 4x4x
Master Swordsman
TKA 42x2
Master Medic
Doctor x24x
To get through the FS Grind, and to fight Mellichae ( With friends.)
Here's why, Doc x24x lets you buff yourself making yu have to return to town less often ( You will have to buy Enhance Packs. Swordsman lets you carry a Scythe and an Acklay Power Hammer, dealing huge amounts of Kinetic or Blast damage, great for PvE good experience for quicker high end content kills, TKA because you get Powerboost, further enhancing your buff, for those extra tough foes and you get alot of extra mellee defence, with more state defences also.
With Swordsman speed tapes this is probably the most efficient template for doing FS grind. Where to go from there, I don't know...
Any comments ?
i think you have a good plan for the village and mellichae. Consider this though, once you get your lightsaber, you will probably be better served with fencer 4xxx and doc 2440 for the jedi grind. Melee defence is best gathered on the fencer tree, this will bring you to cap if you have the force melee defence and force ranged defence.
Doc 2440 is great for one main reason, healing poison is huge for jedi xp. things that poison give better xp per kill than things that do not. Some as much as 200 more per kill, that's 33% more per kill than things that do not poison, again, this is huge. Even having 4440 doc is great. But the x44x doc is better than x24x doc in that your buffs will be 3-400 pts higher. This is also huge for grinding jedi.

So you think the points are better spent in doc and Fencer than in TKA?
Two other options I considered:-
Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
Doc x34x
Fencer 422x
Doc x24x
Master Swordsman
Then post Mellichae drop swordsman to buy more doc and maybe a couple more Fencer Boxes?
I know alot say you NEED Smuggler, but I don't know.... FD is nice, but...
FD is purely a defensive move to me, if you play smart and don't plan on being on the terminals, FD is a waste of skill pts. Fencer 4000 is all you need, its the only tree that gives melee/ranged defence. Once you hit novice LS you'll probably not use your regular combat skills. The only problem is this. If a BH does come at you, you will be weaker fora long time. The benefit is that you will be stronger for grinding jedi. I've never been hunted, been playing smart all along and am at a point where I only have doc 2030 left and that's for curing poison. My next skills to train will be to go from healer 0200 to 0203 so thatcan cure poison, this is the only reason I am holding onto doc, otherwise i'd draop to medi 0040 to use good stim d's.
BUT, i have to again point out that if a BH came to hunt me, i'm pretty much dead. I play smart and don't get on the terms.
