I can usually stand quite some time vs. any melee, including jedi, but I am having a hard time fighting ranged kiters.

Usually I have to wait (and heal) until root wears off, burstrun to them and try to beat em. This is where the problem starts. I can stop them from running using Knockdown, they tend to have Knockdown recovery and it takes only a little while until they are up on their feet and start running again. Any way to keep close to them (besides burstrun food, which I use)?

Template is:

Master Pike

TKM

4000 Doc

Mpike/0404fencer/4004doc burst run to them, kd as they start to stand cripple strike and binding strike(not blinding strike). This will reduce their movment speed and action regen making hard for them to root/kite you.

I am Mpike/MBrawler/MDoc and it does well. I am waiting to see if the new Doc upgrades after Pub 19 will make it even better. If not I am thinking of going...

MPike/MBrawler/MFencer/TK 0-3-3-4 Has high Melee def and ok ranged def.....General melee speed is 74 and General melee acc is 220, plus you can dish out all the states in the game with armorbreak and warcry and intim.

Also loking at:

MPike/MBrawler/MSword/Fencer 4-0-3-4

" "/ TK 0-3-3-4

i was thinking of going msword mpike doc 4-0-0-0 and medic 4-1-4-1 for bacta toss

or i could drop msword to get master medic and doc

or my current template mpike msword k 4-1-0-0 medic 0-2-1-0 which is best?

Isnt it cheaper pointwise to go Force Healer 4000 than getting doc 4000? You do have to spend 24 points on FS skills which will add to your defense and whatever you pick.

Any comments?

Yea, but after the nerf bat finished with Jedi Healing, and the increase to Doc Healing, you get more heal power with Doctor.

Master Pike/Master TK/Doc 4000, so far very pleased!

Yep, looks like I change Tiwiku to that template. Should be even better after Patch 19. atm I got no healing at all (only insta-stims). Thats not enough for PvP...

Why don't any of your temps have TKA0-1-0-0 in it?

My Master Pike/2-2-2-4Doc/0-4-0-0 TKA lubs it. Am I missing something?

I'm Master Pikeman, Master Swordsman, 4130 TKA. I like it

I am currently working on the following template:

Master Pike; Master Brawler; TKM; Swordsman 0/0/3/4; Novice Medic

This gives some fairly impressive numbers:

Melee Accuracy: 220
Melee Speed: 60
Melee Defense: 210
Ranged Defense: 145

Then add in the modifiers for either Unarmed or Pike (depending on what I use at the moment) and it is nice.

Plus this temp has alot of goodies:

Meditate/Powerboost,
Improved COB,
Innate Armor,
Intimidate,
Warcry,
Advanced Armor Break,
Improved Critical,
Area Attack and KD,
Dizzy and Stun attacks,
Sword Flurry (a little extra Melee Defense never hurts),
and Parry/Riposte Stance (a little reflected damage is good too ))

and, if the healing improvements work like they seem to, then the bacta shot at novice medic with +25 Healing Bio clothes and +40 healing food and some good bacta shot enhancers, ought to be fairly solid.

As for clothing I use a healing shirt+ pants, Unarmed damage/terrain negotiation bandolier and Melee/Ranged Defense Jacket.

Food is Usually:
Crispic,
Vegeparsine,
Blob candy,
Spiced Tea,
Nutricake (for emergencies)
Synthsteak (also for emergencies)
Ruby Beliel (again for emergencies)
and I normally use Booster Blue for spice, but with this being a low healing template, I will probably go back to Neutron Pixie.

Granted, this is more of a PVE character, as the only PVP I usually do is duels, but we will see.

My current template is master pikes master tk sword xx4x and fencer 4x1x

this is an awsome tank template! with my cothes (which add 64 melee/ranged def) my melee def is 393

usin vegaparsine jedi have trouble doin any damage to me! love it

also essential for any tank is the added bonus's from TKM in not wearing armor. The moves are ok at master... but the key thing from TKM is the innate armor. That way you can look cool while beating tail (Krayt and Humanoid alike).
