I've played an SL before. I could give up some TK and Smuggler for it.

Also I wouldnt mind moving it to lowca, I have talked to my old PA there and they dont mind, but I will probably go with more of a BH pistoleer since that is what I currently have, we will see though, we will see. I think we need to choose now though, lowca or Valcyn.

Here's the deal. Aside from BH/Pistoleer, you could do:
- TKM / Master Pistoleer / Novice SL (3 SPs left over)
- TKM / Master Pistoleer / Slicing1 / Dirty Fighting 4 (still leaves 41 SPs)
- TKM / Master Pistoleer / Novice BE (only 2 SPs left over)
- TKM / Master Pistoleer / Commando: Heavy Weapons 3 (0 SPs remaining)
These are assuming you want to master TK and Pistoleer, (and I think Master Pistoleer should be the eventual goal for each of our members, personally, and probably at least Novice TKA for the Grammaton Cleric part). With these templates we could bust a base, and the TKM / Master Pistoleer temps would be pretty decent defenses and fighting power, even if they aren't very unique.

SL's handy. I think I might go MSL / Master Pistoleer / Medic 3-0-4-0. Most of the SL's skills aren't all that great, but a MSL gets Group Ranged and Melee Defense +30, and Retreat! and Boost Morale can be great for a group of Teras Kasi Mystics. 
I could do SL 0044 (all the best attributes of an SL there, minus the Group Terrain Negotiation), Meditation 4, Master Pistoleer, and Dirty Fighting 3.
Mind you that wouldn't let me heal at all, which is something I highly appreciate being able to do, but it'll definetely give us an edge in any group PvP.

As for Lowca/Valcyn, sorry about that confusion. When I mentioned Lowca in my earlier post, that was a typing error. I meant to say Valcyn.
The fact is, we have established players on both servers (a PA Hall on Valcyn, though), so I would be comfortable with either. We should choose now, but I leave it up to the rest of you which one.

As for recruiting I agree, keep it low key with a few players to get going. The only problem is that coordinating times to play is gonna be a pain, and most people have other characters they like to play, but I am sure we can make it work. As long as we have a set style and roles, and a set plan for battle we should be fine. For instance, player A plays with player b and player B plays with player C then as long as they all use the same tactics,when player A and C play they should be fine. We should (after we choose name, and server of course) get together and come up with tactics to use. Also has anyone thought of doing pistoleer/CM. Not only would we have poisons and disease but also have really good range and area heals. I think aside from our TK/pistoleers and BH/pistoleers we should strive for other roles, IE CM/pistoleers, Pistoleer/comando, Pistoleer/SL, Pistoleer/smuggler, things of this nature. Here are a few temps I came up with.
Master Pistoleer
BH-3040
SL-0044
This would be pretty awesome to have.
or
same as above but instead of SL go commando 4000 for base takedowns.
or
Master Pistoleer
Master COmbat medic
or
Combat medic master
SL-0044
Which is kinda getting away from our whole gunkata theme but would be nice.
or
Master Pistoleer
Master Doctor
with 18 points left over
Ok that is enough for now. What do you all think? I am considering the first one.

I have never played a TKM before, so I wouldn't mind playing one. I never really had a great desire to play one, though, so I'd be just as satisfied never doing it.
I have played an SL (though never got much use in a PvP role), so I would like to do that again, but again, won't be at all disappointed if someone else wants to try that role.
I have played a CM and loved it, so to be a Pistoleer/CM would be really cool for me. I love being able to toss diseases, and use area heals and ranged heals.
BH uses a lot of SPs, and while the speed and accuracy is essential for good pistoleering, I really feel like having BH kinda spoils the integrity of my pistoleer characters, since I never really play a bounty hunter. I'm just not into that playstyle, so I'd rather avoid that.
Now, the thing about CM is that if I kicked out about half of my CM skills, and took up Hunting (Scout), I could become a BE and help with base takedowns. Personally, I'd rather Master Combat Medic than take BE, but whatever works best for the guild.
The trick to this is that we don't need to see ourselves as a totally self-sufficient guild. While I could as a MCM craft all my goods, I wouldn't need to, as there are plenty of vendors that sell that sorta stuff. We're going to focus our characters on combat, not crafting, but we are still going to have to decide how much we want to be self-sufficient. Having some toons with some Surveying, or Hunting would help. Having a Ranger would also be nice. SL, BE, BH, Smuggler, and Commando are pretty essential, I think. Personally, I'd love to be a CM again, but SL and Smuggler work well for me as well. Commando might be nice, but if I went that route, I'd prolly like to pick up Flamethrower 4 just to make it a little more worthwhile.

If we are going to go after bases and are going to do templates to do it this is whats required to slice the terms:
BH investigation 2
Smuggler slicing 1
Commando Heavy Weapons 1(it might be 2)
Novice BE
Novice SL
thats all thats "required" to slice if I remember correctly.

I think it's Heavy Weapons 2, but you're right Percy. Take the min requirements and then branch from there. If I had to pick one of my roles, my top one would be SL, and my next preferred would be Smuggler.
BUT the idea of being a CM again is really sitting well with me. I think CM and SL are about equal for me.

If i remeber correctly a toon can be all 5 of the slicing professions, just enough to get it done

That's true. But that's no fun for that toon, unless someone feels real generous, 'cause I'm not doing it, lol.
The most that toon could have of actual combat skills would be either BH Pistols 4, BH Carbines 4, or Flamethrower 4.

So umm....which server is it again? Also, if you guys will have me, I'd like to do a defensive pistoleer template as it's what I'm best at.
Somthing like:
Master Pistols
Smuggler Dirty Fighting
Master Fencer
TK 4004 (or 4003, forgot how the skills work out)
But I could be talked into doing a commando route as well (mainly flame 4).
