I thought about going for the standard MPM/TKM/4000doc
But then I thought about this one
MPM/MBrawler/0044Swordsman/4000Doc/0100TKM
I do not know all that much about CLs but does this seem viable for the Jedi Grind/PVP/PVE group hunts
Cybane
If you have any other thought please post them

decent enough build gives you cob i think there are alot of better builds out there than the standard pike/tkm dr 4000 i just think the vastmajority use this because there are no costs to it i know i do not having to fry a set of armor or 2 a week is cool

If you can't afford armor, pike/tka/4000doc is the best build.
If you're supa rich, pike/0044swords/4000doc/0100tka is the better build.
TKA protection gives you aset 6000 point protection. Armor can reach higher than that, and has the benefit of being sliced, which results in better overall protection. That's all expensive though. So getting 3 ADKs (head, chest, legs) and slicing armor is the best way if you're going the armor route (and then repairing the arm pieces as needed, but they decay slow). Add in adv armor break and improved crit strike, and you've got a better template.

what about weapons, would you only use polearms, and arent they kinda of high sac wise, not mention isnt there a very limited number of polearms worth using?
94 SAC is high?

both of those builds focus around vibro lances or kaminoan staffs. If you've got a great one, you're ok. If you don't, well there's not a lot of pikeman out there to fight you for it on the trade forums.

After further review, the Pike/Brawler/0100TKA/0044Swords/4000Doc template is *not* viable due to a CL of 71.
My bad.

Do the master brawler box give any level at all?
Im stuck at CL 70 with TK 0100, Swords 0030, Doc 3000, Fencer 0004, Master pikes, master brawler.
If i dropped master brawler i could take 4000 doc and 0040 swords. But would that get me to level 80? guess not *Hate the stupid level system*
dropping fencer would lose me lots of accuracy, gaining some speed as i can be doc 4000 and swords 0040 and still keep master brawler. but id lose a few levels i think, and some awsome skills.. argh
Any good Pikeman skillplate that make you level 80 and does not involve TKM?

Best Mpike temp for skills and skilmods from my view is TK 0100, Mbrawler, Mpikeman, doc 3000, sword 0030 and fencer 0004.=CL 70 the only bad thing is as said that some stupid guy tought it would be cool with levels that determened how much damage you took and delt and how muhc health you got. Drop master brawler box for a few more levels. but then you lose TONS of general melee acc and speed

If I were you I'd drop that Fencer stuff. Improved Bleed attack is in my experience completely useless. The total damage it does (initial hit + ticks) is less than a single Leg Hit, and a Leg Hit is instantaneous while you have to wait for the bleeds to tick to get that damage.
Drop Fencer 0004 and you can get Doctor 4000, and Swordsman 0044, which will give you better healing, better defenses, and still keep the same accuracy. Plus you'd be gaining a useful special, while loosing a useless one. Your CL will also increase to lvl 74.
