right now i'm mpistoleer/tkm/fencer 4400/novice medic... i was mpistoleer/tkm/rogue/fencer4300 but dropped for the ability to heal (this is gonna come in handy with CB) right now i'm still as effective as I was with rogue. last ditch is nice with the stun effect and high damage but novice is nice since i solo most of the time and on my server (Lowca) most highly skilled pvp'ers are melee templates and i just kite them to death. And what's with people thinking that duels are just melee bouts? I say screw that, people get pissed off at me for kiting, what the hell else am i gonna do when you have a 400 mind fire pike? but what's your evaluation on my template? I love smuggler DF, but i do like novice medic since i solo (PVE and PVP) plus CB will make medic more important than ever. Only problem I ever had are the pesky CM's (no defense against them...) rifle aren't that much of a problem, switch to vk's and get my CoB macro on and i'm untouchable, or switch to my janta mind poison knife and even more untouchable.

you have meditation don't you?
that should help a bit against the combat medics (moreso than others i would imagine)
plus the smuggler specials are good, but not essential....... last ditch is good for the stun, but if you can intimidate, you'll still be fine.... also low blow doesn't knockdown as much as it used to
the common misconception about last ditch is the high-damage it does..... but it's REALLY slow so fanshot does more damage, plus it damages in a cone, so you'll end up doing much more damage with fanshot anyways
the defenses from fencer are REALLY helpful though, so i'd sooner give up smuggler over fencer for the medic

You won't have to drop all of fencer to get dirty fighting. I would drop the line for the state defenses as you will get plenty with TKM. You can't rely on fanshot to do your damage either, it can potentially aggro many people on you at once, when that happens you're a goner. I find that low blow knock downs a lot, but all KDs have been nerfed so they don't work as much. Since you're pvping a low blow can send a melee character your fighting on their backs, it won't work all the time, but when it does it will buy you valuable time. I highly reccomend taking the dirty fighting line.
