Oddly enough, my template is Ranger 0/4/4/0, and Master Fencer, and going to be 4/0/0/0 TKA. Weird huh.
On test, I'm currently making a Master Ranger, Master Rifleman and CH 0/3/0/0 or so. Long job on test, leveling is much harder there.

I'm aiming for Master Ranger/Master Swordsman/something I haven't decided yet. I have 30something skillpoints left over, and I'll likely use them on Dancing or something 
Just for fun, I'm not much of a Min/max player so I don't like to "dabble"

Well my template is simply Master Ranger/TKM/Medic 1xxx. I'm a wookiee so i get a little extra ham which coupled with powerboost and the medic skills lets me hunt most of what i need to un-buffed. The poison/disease etc healing is nice as well.
Really, this template lets me feel almost as self-sufficient as someone with Master Ranger should be.. all thanks to TKM really which is a shame.

I'd post my bio, but in lieu of that, an explanation of my choice and playstyle.
I'd wanted to be TKM from July 01 2003. I have always played a Ranger in RPG. It was a natural fit. The benefits are being largely self sufficent (meditate and kinetic resists) and therefore having the ability to harvest large amounts, see a majority of the game world, and be able to dable from time to time in PvP without embarassing the Ranger Profession. Iride a variety of BE mounts, up to lvl 19, which means I can get 10k HAM mounts and companions, more than enough to help me in my hunting forays.
I RP it along the lines of the definition of Ranger that has been supplied here quite often and isbased on Antarian Ranger origins as Jedi assistants from Antara, and therefore not just a hunter, but a spy, pilot, companion, and confidant of Jedi: When the Empire systematicly murdered my Ranger mates, there left little question whose side I would be on. My TKM beliefs have me convinced that the Sith, their Darkside disciples, and the Empire are the greatest manifestation of the threat inherently posed by all Force users.As a TKM I keep a sharp eye on Jedi for any signs they may fall. I support my Jedi associates and guildmates through espionage, tracking, supplies and the occasional discret hit. This by the way is the basis of my bio, but nothing like the way it is presented.

How is Ranger and Fencer? I'm pistoleer, but if I were to do a melee I have always like the idea of Fencer. But I hear they are not so good in PvE? Is that so with Ranger to back it up? How does the fencer do for damage and defences against creatures?

Master Pikeman
Master Ranger (almost there)
Medic 0/1/0/0
Pikeman
PROS
Severly Damaging Area attacks, allows the killing of high level mobs quickly
Decent defense state Mods
Extremely damaging polearm hit 3 (times 4)
action dotted weapons, with action hit 2 is a most fearsome tactic
it's a Tanker Prof
Is one of the best if not THE BEST PvE profs in the game
CONS
the only decent weapons we can get are from the hardest NPC's in the game <Night Sisters, Singing Mountain CLan>
a Tad slow (Unless ya loot a 2.8 speed VL like I did with max dam of almost 600 and min damage 193 =P)
tough to learn properly for PvP
other than state defense, the rest of the defense stinks
armor is a MUST
Medic /0/1/0/0
PROS
you can use wound packs and stim packs to heal your damage/wounds (with doc smaking really good stim B's it is all you need)
you can heal yourself slightly quicker
CONS
can't use stims for disease/poison/intimidate (medicine use skill is too low, only +5)
To all you ranged prof nuts, sorry, but I think you are just scared to get up in the face of a high level creature/mob/NPc (lol, i am only kidding, sorta, lol) I ain't having fun unless there is blood splattered all over my armor.
This is a great template, I have been using this template for two weeks now, and I think I finally found my nitch in the game. This really isn't a noob (sorry for the jargon)template, pikeman stinks untill you master, then it kicks butt, and Ranger of course rocks but the survival xp is frustrating and tedious. I plan on keeping this template for a very, very, very long time. Kinda like Extra sugar free gum, it just lasts and lasts.

Once again, I forgot something, and still do not knwo hwo to use the edit thingy.
darmokVts said, that buffs are a must. I disagree, I mastered the entire scout prof on Tat without buffs as a master pikeman (and used my specials), but remember I was a medic 0/1/0/0, so I had my stims to back me up.
I also forgot to say, with my template, there is NO, that is a fat 0 skill points left over. so go pick up medic 0/1/0/0 darmoVts and then go hunt Tat with out buffs, just remember to take brandy and canape so that when you heal yourself you are not at the same time, killing yoursel fby depleating your mind. I have also hunted unbuffed on Talus, Rori, Lok, Naboo, and Corellia, which i must say are almost all the dreaded "N" word planets, oh well, it gets me resources for my Doc, Armorsmith, Chef guildies.

if your looking for a great ranger combo there are 2 professions you need to start off on.
medic for one because ranger trapping takes alot of your action. The ranger/riflemen is great also because the simple reason that t-21's have armor peirceing. i know what your thinking what does that have anything to do with it, right? well 75% more damage if the enamy has no armor you mix that with a camo kit and your good to go solo so newbies trying to become factioned or some thuns well good luck with your section.

ranger 4-3-4-3

Ranger and fencer is an ... intersting choice, I gotta admit.
The reason why I picked this combination was because of dodge, and me being a wookie. I'm not the most fond of wearing armor, thus this combination works pretty well.
You are right though, damage is little/none on very high level MOBs. I can do pretty good damage on lower level MOBs though, up to about enraged rancor without any problems. Beyond that, this profession has quite a few problems. It's mainly for PvP, not PvE - thus it's not the best combination.
In my case, I like it well enough. Why? I rather dodge out of the way, and live a longer battle, than to fight through the battle and maybe win faster, but be closer to death.
So...it's an OK setup, but not the best for PvE according to most.

I am going TKM and wanna go Ranger but need to be able to control my Giant Crystal Snake (level 31). Need the snake for RP and need TKM for RP because without it I'll be dead meat. 
Trying to figure out templates, anyone have suggestions?
