I am creating an “uber” melee character. I am going to master Tera Kasi, Pikeman, and Fencer. I chose those three due to the defense mods that the three combined would receive. Now what I need to know is if I do this will I get the benefit of those stacked mods? For example with these three mastered you get a whopping +161 Vs. Melee, +104 Vs. Ranged, +90 Vs. Knockdown, +70 Vs. Blind, +100 Vs. Posture change (Down), +35 Vs. Stun, + 65 Vs. Dizzy, and +20 Vs. Intimidate.
Now does anyone know if defense mods from different combat professions under the same tree stack or are these capped at +125?

If you are stuck on going Pike, I would suggest going Master Brawler, as well as TKM and Master PIke. Fencer is all the rage, but if you plan on pvping, and you are pure melee, methinks it would be suicide to do it without any Scout. If you aren't going to pvp, or only plan
Burstrun mods as well as Terrain Negotiation are your friend. Considering how often we get kited, you will be /burstrun and /following your opponents moreso then not. Something to try out.

scout is great to have but not needed. If uwant u canalways try master pike/master fencer/0040 pistoleer/0040 medic. this is if u decide not to get doc this template will give u amazing state def.

They are capped at 125. The only way to get over the is to use Skill Enhancing Attachments, aka SEA's. So I've heard anyways...
Andyour math is off a little, cause a Master TK/Fencer/Pikeman should have 164 Melee Defense (not 161),139 Ranged Defense (not 104), and 110 Defense vs Posture Change (Down). But inreality it would be 125

Can't remember the name of it, but there is some food that increases burst run ability, it's your friend when fighting ranged enemies.

If you're going for PvP, Master Pikeman, 4/0/4/0 doc, 3/4/0/0 fencer. Get some pike speed SEAs and doc meds and you're G2G.

I'm Master Pikeman, Master TKA, Master Brawler, Fencer 2-0-4-0, novice medic and it works well because of my pike dots. If you don't have pike dots, you'll have problems killing things. Also, if your going melee template, I'd recommend you go master brawler instead of scout, with lunge 2 you get 20 m range, I've never been kited in a fight or duel yet that I lost because of being kited. If i changed my template, I might go master melee (whatever prof. you like) and Doctor.

i was a master tka, master fencer and master pike. recently i droped some tka i am now 4304 i did this so i can take up novice medic. this is a much better templete then all 3 masters i get all kd and posture change def just lose tka power which i foudn i out since i have fence ri dont even use tka attacks anymore. an dyou only have 104 ranged def. The only real weakness for this is you will get owned if they kite you, just remeber buildings and walls are you friend. so is posture change(down)
