he said best for the remaining sps, im guessing u can only get a novice elite combat prof, and no TKA doesnt cut it for a novice, tbh i wud still say pistols if you were fully buffed and armoured

Ch might be good if the pet has some kind of dot, but with Master CH, Master BE I don't know that you will be very good at pvp.


I'm a master fencer, tkm, and master brawler. It works pretty good and I don't get kited much with the master brawler.


Only problem is there's too many stupid things that unbalance the game. Like CM. Like ravenous dots you can't even heal fast enough...let alone have your opponent hitting on you. Like jedi knigts. Etc, etc.


Really you can die with any template so if you enjoy what your doing stick with it.

Pistoleer trees make for good combat. Fan shot and stopping shot- damn your a super killer with 2 pets out. Dont kid yourself- get some good quick pets, send them in, bleed and fan shot when they aggro. Or Bleed, and stopping shot them. Nothing wrong with this at all- and you can hit any MOB solo- except stuff like GDKs or Krayts

definately Teras Kasi! Rifleman is painful and not so good till master. Whereas once you hit Novice TKA you will feel the difference. Even a mid level TKA is tough against creatures. The only problem I see if you are trying to use your pets as tanks it will only work in the sense that you can use them to keep enemies at bay as you fight them one on one. Once you run up and start throwing blows the enemywill hit you instead of the pet.

Answer: even a Mid-Level TKA kicks ass and TKM=master ass kicker

Don't forget that you can go to the Bazaar and buy power-ups for your weapons, buy the power-up and drag it over your weapon and you will get a message that it is assembled. The differance afterwards will be most pleasing. (btw, they will decay, so carry a spare.)

You must have your stats migrated wrong. Get your stats migrated then getsome endumberance sliced composite and unbuffed you should be able to wear everything except the bracers and biceps which rarely get hit anyway. If you're bent on getting more into the mix than your pets I would go TKA 0400 that's the defensive tree and will give you some basic defenses against states. Of course you could also go TKA 0130 which will give you a stronger area attack and Unarmed Knockdown. BTW I'm a Zabrak it's the only race I ever play as hehe.

With Master BE/Master CH, you can only get one full line of an elite combat profession. I would recommend 2H, and then getting the 0400 of swordsman. Sure defense isn't uber, but that's what you have a pet, and armor for. This line WILL give you a lot of speed, and headhit3. Which means your scythe/power hammer/2H curved sword/hack will be hitting the mind pool of whatever it is you are attacking fast and strong. After that, youll have 3 SPs left.

You sure you can't wear composite? I thought everything 'cept Wookiees could wear it.

If you want to stay master BE and not get whooped, well, not sure you can to be honest. TKM and Rifleman are popular choices with CH. Swordsman would also work well.

Hmmm...what to choose after getting MCH/MBE? You only have 52 skill points left, so you can't even get "master" novice profession. I'd honestly say, your best bet is to get swordsman 0040. This will let you use a powerhammer (blast damage) and also you will have Spin2 and sweep2. Both are AoE attacks. You are going up the defense tree, so you will have swordsman CoB (center of being). Your accuracy will suck and so will your speed, but using a speed sliced PH, experimented for accuracy, and some speed powerups, you should be ok. Even better when you have your pets standing guard over you just in case. Oh, you will still need to use buffs, but.../shrug, nothing to do but get them.


Honestly, and this is just my opinion, but simply getting MBE/Swords/CH1011 would probably work good, if you are just getting MCH to have pets to tank for you. This set up will let you still use pets, heck, you can MAKE your own pets and experiment on their CL so you can use them even. But this is just if you are using MCH for tanks.


Good luck, I hope this helps.
