I agree, but with the patch those extra defensive bonuses go out the door.

Not wanting to sound rude, I'm just saying: It's obvious they intended you to get those defensive bonuses in master brawler no matter what weapon you were using, since master brawler is for all melee types. So, if they did go to the crazy extreme of stopping any and every type of defense from stacking at all from one profession to the next (highly doubtful), they would make "polearm melee defense", "unarmed melee defense", "1-handed melee defense" and so on for each.

Oh I agree! Thanks for the input just wanted to see if it was still a good and viable choice considering the future Nerfs. Is Exploration 4 that useful when you come down to it in PVE?

I like to think ( Yeah so shoot me! ) Anyways, I got to thinking about my Template and how it will probably to crap for me. My current planned Template, I say this because I have not compleated it, is:


Master Pikeman

TKM

Master Brawler

Exploration 4

First Aid 1 in Medic.


But after the NERF err... "Patch" Defenses do not stack, so is there really a good reason to have Exploration 4 or Master Brawler with Master Pikeman? I like Warcry but unless Warcry 2 is good enough for me to use 34 skill points I might rethink it. And for Exploration 4, I cant see this neing a real life saver, although its noce to get up a hill faster than my Grandma.


So what would be compliment it better, reguardless of Defense stacking, because in a bit, it will not matter. I thought about Carbineer, for one those Action bleeds would be nice with a few leg hit 3s. But I am unsure. Anyone have some suggestions?


Thanks

This is my thought:


If the new system somewhat equals all elite melee professions in combat, then why not go for the XXXXX / master Doctor template? The ability to heal states and buff, would really come in handy as melee.


This template is already very viable(did anyone say master TKA/Doc/master B?), but I believe it to be even more so after the change
