I have TKM and Ranger 2240, I've just got back from Dathomir enraged rancor hunting, each kill was about 20-30 secs at most and 1hr later I had earned about 50k Scouting xp so i now need someone to teach me wayfaring 3 and i almost have 4

I love TKM and have tried other combat professions on TC2 recently but im sticking with TKM and am not even going to try anything different.

(btw whats the best way to get trapping xp because as you can see i havent got anywhere with it.)

Im a master trapper, I love traps. Craft a bunch of wire mesh traps, stick them in your tool bar, then go hunt something blue dot, and just spam traps.

That works for the first few boxes, but when you need to trap something bigger, make a few traps, mesh, phenecnacine etc and use them as an opening move on any creatures you come across. You'll soon be a trap master in no time.

Hello,

I thought I would ask for some advice, I'm almost a Master Ranger (4 Boxes to go, so realy 3/4 of the way) but I just made Novice TK..... and I have some medic skills (3/2/0/1/).

I've been doing ok so far but some one told me I should Drop the TKM idea and go Master Swordswookie instead.

I'd like to hear some opinions, and yes I have read the Template Guide and found it very informative but I would like a comparison from some actual Ranger / TKM or Ranger / Swordsman types.

Thanks...

TKM/MR vs Ranger/Swordsman -

TKM made me the ultimate harvesting machine. I couldnt lose unless the creature was 100% to kinectic. You just cant ask for a better brawling profession then TKM. Now that im a sword i like having medium AP (which TK doesnt have) and the option of blast damage. So I've been able to harvest from a larger group of creatures because of these two items.

Do TK if you dont buff constantly. Unequip the VK's do powerboost go hunting unbuffed. As a swordsman buffs are everything. Im going to finish sword and it looks like im going to keep it. But believe me TKM is still the better brawling profession especially when the looted heat damage knucklers show up

Im a Ranger/ TK, and enjoy it alot. I dont really see a huge difference in Swordsman and TK in regards to its usefullness with Ranger. Swordsman gives you a couple of extra damage types, which is good for those critters that are kenetic reistant (I was attacking a Ancient Rancor today that had 50% kenetic resist, lets just say it was a long fight), but with TK you can heal that poisen and disease that you will inevitably get in the wild, whilst also looking damn cool in a scrap.

I say stick with TK, simply because youve put the effort in already. You can always change later.

Hm.. I am going to try something different and probably not very effective for the most part.. but it's what I like. Right now I've got BH pistols 4 and just picked up Novice Ranger last night Having Master Marskman and Master Scout eat up a CRAPLOAD of Skill points.. and at Master Ranger with BH pistols 4.. that will leave me with only 13 skill points.. if I did the math correctly. I am thinking of putting those towards Light Lightning Cannon under BH after I master Ranger, that would put me at LLC lvl 3 and 1 lil skill point leftover. Anyways, I was able to solo Engraged Rancor at BH pistol lvl 3 ALONE.. no pistoleer, no nothing.. just BH pistols 3.. and at lvl 4 with Torso Shot and i also have Novice pistoleer for Healthshot2 to add to the bleed stack.. I can take out an ER in 30 seconds. So, I am content being DECENT at combat.. but the sad part is I will only have Acid and Electricity dmg at my side.. and maybe Stun if I pick up the Geo cert. Does anyone have any suggestions to maybe tweak this better? Such as:

Master Ranger/ BH pistols 4.. and what should I do with the remaining 13 skill points???
