just wondering why you would go master fencer and master pistoleer? Dodge is now capped at 125, so you wouldn't be getting all that much of a bonus...
I'm a Master Gunfighter / Master Smuggler / TKM...I was buffed (not mind), armored, and brandied...
and took out 5 people...by myself...
1 master heavy swordsman
3 riflemen
1 TKM
1 rifleman/cm
they were grouped...

Even with defenses capped at 125, master fencer/pistoleer is an awesome combo (especially if you have smuggler). The two professions have the best state defenses, mastery of both give you mitigation 3 in both range and melee, and you have variety of how to fight (ranged and melee). Fencer over TKA for the extra dmg type. TKA over fencer for better kinetic dmg and range defense (but lower stae defences). Anyone know if you can stack a bleed from fencer with pistoleer? I have yet been able to successfuilly test this.

THe moment I got fencing up I knew I never wanted to lose it =p Pistoleer seems liek fun, and yeah, stackign the defenses will get me capped melee def, nearly capped ranged def, 100 vs posture chagne, 100 vs kd, 100 vs blind, 95 vs dizzy etc (zabrak helps too I admit).
Smuggler's dirty fighting line seems really cool. So err
No fotm tka for me

FOTM is rifleman, not TKA...
DF is good if you have the pistoleer speed bonus to back it up...otherwise shooting 6 second last ditches isn't going to be very fun...

Im MTK/Master smuggler/almost Master Pistoleer
I love being able to run towards a guy shooting, use lowblow to knock him down, bleed, and when I reach him, start with unarmed. Its a great combo, I have great melee defense (almost capped with BE cloths) and decent ranged defence. Its all about moving fast, and getting close.

I'm currently working on this build I just wish I had more time to level it up. I believe fencer is superior to TKM for pvp in offense - an ackley baton and scatter 2 can really ruin someone's day without having to KD them first. The dodge stacking is kindaa waste and if pistoleer didn't have a lot of bonuses in the master box I'd be less inclined to master it and drop the dodge line in favor of more skills from TKA... but all the defenses in this build are amazing, and if you're serious about using your pistol you'll want the master box in pistoleer.
I recommend your TK setup to be 4-0-0-3 (this will use all your skillpoints). Meditate just rocks and this shores up your ranged defense.
Important skill enhancers to get the absolute most out of this setup would be forpistol speed and ranged defense. You need about a+20 or better boost each to pistol speed and ranged defense to make the caps with them. Pistol speed is especially important if you want to use your pistol offensively in PvP with last ditch assault.
