The New Age Cheese
Intro
Well, basically this is the DOT Cheese template. Remember as you read this, your offensive output is based on your DOT weapons and the ability to get a uber mind mind poison disease monstor staff, so id suggest you get one of those first. I wont go through the process of leveling it up and stuff because its all fairly obvious at this point (and you can read other guides on how to do that), im writing this to discuss the pure power of The New Age Cheese. I consider this template to come from a long line of Cheese, like the Ancient Creature Handler, or the more recent Combat Medic. Anyways.. on to the discussion.
Template
Brawler (4/4/4/4)

Possible Weaknesses
-Low Defenses
-Low Initial State Defenses
Countering the Weaknesses
+Armor!
+Food!
Strategy
Basically smack them with your staffs, knives, ect. ect. Apply them DOT's to the mind ASAP. Now heres where the fun starts.
+Warcry2+, ouch! Looks like you wont be touching me for awhile, 20 seconds infact, thats long enough for my DOT's to do some seroius damage.
+Intimidate2+ OOF! Have fun damaging me, period.
+Berzerk2+, serves a dual purpose (speeds up your heals/applys DOT's faster if they do a berzerk to try to get rid of them)
Rinse and Repeat, if it was harder than that I wouldnt call it Cheese.

Reflections
If you call me a newb and a "dumb troll new age pikeman ex-combat medic nub", you'd be correct. It's not that complicated, just try it. It has the tools to beat any template, the key is to really find a powerful set of DOT weapons.

Oh and I could be wrong about Warcry2 and DOT's. Someone clarify that?

There was a patch note (can't remember if it was the last publish or a previous one) that said DoTs will now break Warcry. Anyways, interesting template, nice job. Although it doesn't look like there are enough skill points for Master Pikeman / Master Brawler / 4-1-4-0; you're 6 points over the limit. You'd have enough as Master Pikeman / Master Brawler / 4-0-3-0 Doctor, though.

Why even have pikeman in such a template? Master brawler's enough to use a DoT lance or LVA. At the very most you could get pikeman 4004 to get speed, accuracy, and the VL. The stuff in the other two trees is all meaningless with such a plan, so replace them with TKA and switch to it after DoTs are applied.
No sense in pretending the pikeman profession has anything to do with the ability to weild a DoT lance. It doesn't.
