So after going to ranged once the CU hit, I feel a need to return to melee, just because it's more fun. So now I have to decide how to finish out my template. I'm doing TKM because before the CU I always was one, and Pikeman because it looks like a lot of fun, plus our mdef quit until the frs comes back, so we need a tank. I'm getting Swordsman 0040 for adv. armorbreak. So to use up my remaining sp should I get medic 0040 and a few FS boxes, another line of swordsman and master brawler, or the melee acc. and spd FS trees and the FS defense trees? I want to PvP and be efficient 1v1 so I guess I'll need some medic, but I may be able to pull it off With stacking some nice food, ruby and 1200 stim d's, plus the awesome defenses, CoB, intim, stun, etc. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.



P.S. what are good stats for VL's nowadays, I did pikeman pre-cu once and had a 300 something-600 something VL, but it converted to low 400's-low 900's with 94 sac, i'm guessing thats not too great.

Doc 4-0-0-0 at least is a must for melee PvP, same goes for CM 4-0-0-0 for ranged templates. Blame the Devs for makingthis a necessity.


And no, that VL is not too great. Should have 1000+ damage to be decent.
