I was commando 4000, TKM and as soon as I hadmy last 1225000 fs xp banked i was able to get my template ready for padawan which is TKM, fencer 4000 (mastered but was advised to drop to this), marksman pistols branch, smuggler 0010 for feign death, scout 3000 and medic 2040.
Its early days but I got the template input from people who are already jedi.

TKM is the best I think as it will be usefull as a Jedi. I was riflewoman which is not good because we get hit with more damage.

TKM is a good idea since you already have spent the skill points in brawler for it. Medic is a must have, woudl recommend getting 0-0-4-0 and get some good Stim D or Stim E with med 40 use (1k+ healing).
I have Master rifleman becuase I dont want to give that up. Will put all my remaining skill points in TKA (0-3-4-0) until I am close to unlocking and then drop rifles to master TK. I love to have my T21 when I run into NS

Excuse me if i am overlooking something here, but it seems pointless to get this many careers if you are about to turn Padawan.
You will want to unlock 3 force novice boxes straight away, which will require 8 skill points each.
It seems a pity to do all the boring grind to medic xx4x when you are going to have to throw it away almost right away if you want to get anywhere in Jedi.

boring grind to medic 0040 ?? thats done very fast if you know how to do it. And you'll be glad to have medic once padawan, because you don't wanna die while still not finished with your template

I appreciate that healing will be very useful, and that it would be possible to get to medic xx4x without a huge amount of hassle, but my point is that this template will cost 244 skill points to get. This means that you are going to have to drop something to even get your first jedi novice, and then still more skills to get the three novice boxes i have heard are essential.

as a TKM, Fencer 4000, Smuggler 0010, Scout 3000 & Medic 2040 you still have 36 skill points free wich is enough to get to a master box in sabers. When you get to that point you can start dropping some skills.

thanks alot guys for the input, I have tka, and nov med 2020 and getting the others would be easy enough as I have master marksman already, or nearly, one box to go.

would it be easier to trade fencer for pistoleer and maybe get some more of that in.

smuggler 0010 = 11
scout 3000 = 24
medic 2040 = 34

For the moment, I'm going to shift to 0400 TKA, Master Rifleman, 4000 Commando, some scout and medic ... I just spent some time attacking Sith, and rediscovered my preference for taking potshots at long range, but would like to still do some grenade grinding. I should be able to keep 1000 scout and 2000 medic almost to the end of the grind. I'll likely drop scout for a short time, though I'll hate hills once I do. Oh well, Initiate will be soon enough to fix my template to be ready for Padawan.
Oh, and the 0400 TKA will allow 900k XP to be held over for instant 0430 ... 0433 with Commando, I think. Getting the XP in advance beats grinding with lower skills...

Since you can save xp for the FS branches, no need to take it before going jedi, unless you have some spare skillpoints, take some combat skills, but else save it all...
