Decisions decisions...... can anyonegive their opinions on this?
Currently MP and Bounty Pistols 4 but I am looking to redo my template, I want to keepMP - at least till I get to see how it pans out with the CU -but I would likea melee prof to go with it.
I am doing the FS grind at the moment soI need to leave 24 SP free for my 24boxes, and Iwant to keep30 SP free for Novice Medic (can't count the amount of times Stim B's have saved my life!)and Novice Scout (my other character is an aspiringDoc\Chef so I harvest for him)
So I am left with 104 SP points to use up....
So do I go......
Master Fencer
Master Swordsman
Master TKA
Acombination of the above?
(Mastering any of the 3 profs would leave me with 12 SP)
At the moment I do mainly PVE as I am grinding XP for my FS boxes, but wouldlike to hold my own in PVP as well.
Any advice from people who have tried these?

Fencer is basically a melee version of pistoleer so it would give you the best combination. Great defences, both use dodge, both attack the same pool, both have stun weapons.

You need to decide which melee profession you will want to play, because you wont use pistols again until the CU.
I currently have Tk and am having fun with it but Fencer by far matches the pistols best

I have to suggest TKM
Fencer defenses arevery nice, when they are in effect, but they don't stack up to all the added offensive/secondary bonusesTKM provides imo.
What happens tofencer defenses when stunned for example?
Personally, I like that I dont have to carry a weapon in my hand. TK has a good Mind hit, force of will, Meditate buffs, speed, high damage and decent defenses - its the best overall combat prof in the game imo.
Icant hunt the really big NPCs but anything else and anyone else can be confidently dispatched with modest equiptment/tactics. Very few people are Mpistol / TK in these days of Swords and sticks and rifles and Poisons, its a template many people are not used to fighting against.
Most Pistol templates have BH and Rogue in them so that leaves out TKM. But I would argue its just not worth the skill pointsto bother with BH pistol tree if you can get speed tapes*.
It boils down to how you like to play, I like to havefun and TKM is just that and its and invaluableasset in the off chance my speed capped Pistols cant get the job done.
Not to mention its a barefisted FS xp machine.
