you got master Fencer? Why not loose the carbiner idea and go pistolere and stack some dodge as well as bleeds?
the bleed stacking is devastating in PvE, gotta try it out in PvP.
one of the best PvP templates, if not the best is the Swordsman/Rifleman/masterBrawler/TKA(powerboost) combination.It's strenght lies with the stacking abilities of 4 mind bleeds, warcry and lunge2.

Thanks for the advice, guys.
I'm working my way up the pikeman tree and having a blast so far. Right now I have some skills in Pistoleer and the stacked health shot 1 and 2 is really helping, but I think the carboneer would be a better match cause of the action. (and you'd still have moves that hit random ham soyou could hit health or mind when I'm with a group)
Scout - I was a master scout at one point and have since dropped all of it. Yes the mounts and vehicles are fantasic, but I gotta say ... running up a hill with0 scout skills totally sucks. I would think you seasoned pikeman would say scout is a must for when you need to chase something (or someone) down.
Entertainer - Ok, this is a rant, I admit.The cantinas are horrid now days. People don't even take the time walk all the way in to the cantina. They're in the friggen entry way. I guess I'm anti-socal and never go to the big cities. I gotta have some entertainer to heal up the BF now and then.
Medic - Thanks for the info on this one. Yeah, I need to med use up to like 40 or so and can use those higher level stims.
I have tons of questions about pikeman, but I'll save'em for later.

Hiya,
What do you think of this temple?
Master Pikeman, Master Carboneer, Scout 4-0-0-0, Medic 2-0-0-0, and Entertainer 0-1-0-0
I'd have both melee and ranged mitigation, be able towreck havoc on someone's action pool from both a distance and up close, have terrain negotation,can throw a camp, and also be able to heal mind wounds and BF when in need.
Any thoughts? Has anyone has any success witha pikeman/carboneer combo?
(Just to note, I'm 90% PvE and willoccasionallyPvP, but not much.)
Thanks,

Sounds like a pretty decent self-sufficient solo-PvE setup. Make sure you have some good armor and food, I'd say you'd be good for almost anything.

Entertainer? Scout? quite the template you got there, sounds interesting. I've have yet to try the PikeMan/Carbiner profession combination, but I would assume you'd be better off getting master Brawler and PikeMan, and only dabble the Carbiner for its bleeds. Get medic 0-0-0-0 or 0-0-4-0 for the use of stimpacks, and loose scout(you got mounts and vehicles, no need terrain negotiation).
With master Brawler you will get huge bonuses to the important melee skills like intimidation(50% damage reduction, 50%!!!) and warcry(100% damage reduction for 20 secs), not to mention all the bonuses to CoB, defenses etc... With your template I would probably use a tactic going something like this: Approach target, fire away Carbiner bleeds, CoB, intimidate2, warcry2, KD(lunge2) and pikeMan bleeds and thenspam leghit3. If the targets try to run, Lunge2 it to death...
Then there's the discussion if you're planning on takin on hard groups, and thenI can only tell you melee and rangeddefense are your friend; you need a completely new template.
