I agree with the template for the most part too. I would keep the first aid 2 to staunch the bleeds but, the med use line could probably be dumped for more harvesting since you will be killing alot of stuff.

main reason i have such high med use is for stim D's i found that when i am working an elder and she starts stacking bleeds, i cant heal it all at once so i have to nible at it and nibbling takes healing time and a stim b just doesnt cut it when i want a stim heal worked in with my bleed heals.... i found that stim d's work perfect for elders, i do alot of elder hunting lol if you dont hunt elders then you can drop down to 2000 or even just novice medic your call, but there are lots of choices if you dont want terain necgotiation then you could pick up the fencer def and a little more from tka

I'm looking for a pure PvE build to for taking high end areas. My questions is when you dabble in other professions for there defence bonuses and such when you're using your rifle? I'd like to use my rifle all the time for attack.

How do you edit on this board?? I ment to say, do you get get bonus when you are using your rifle or do you have to switch to swordsman/tka attacks?

You'll get your edit function on 10/6 IF you get 50 posts written by then. Community Member is the lowest rank you can earn it at.

Im not sure about dropping master rifleman, You know how much damage you can push out with a speed capped rifleman and a T21? (unlike swords it only takes +7 pts). Just my food for thought.

try this one
master brawler
master swordsmen
master rifle
novice medic
use the sword to tank stuff and if you think that you need to win loot rights agains multiple opponents, pull back and get the powerfull t21 and spam strafe shot 2 at the speed cap for sheer damage output
lots of choices, but i still like my combo..... only reason i dont go the above combo is cause my alt is doc/rifle lol, no need for me lol, if i am camping acklay or any thing my swordsmen does it, but if some one is camping longer than i am i log my rifle toon in and totaly own with my 675 non powered up t21 with strafe 2 at the speed cap..... good times

My template is,
Master Swordsman
Master Rifleman
4000 Medic
0004 TK
Master Swordsman
Master Rifleman
4000 Medic
0004 TK
I hate 4000 medic, bleed heals arent reallly that great, even when killing elders.. it doesnt help when u get bled 24/7, helps a little but i never had a problem killing elder any easier without it.. So im going back to 4004 for the meditate and powerboost. I would advise u to get into aurilia and get some melee acc, and speed, and whatever else u might want..

Last guy that did that to me discovered how effective Feign Death is!
Seems that NS hit very hard when you pull back and pull out a T21. He sent me tells for an hour...mad that he got slain when he incapped and I didn't...claimed I was exploiting...not my fault he doesn't know what FD is.
MasterSwords, Master Brawler, Master Smuggler is a handy template. Add in FS melee speed and accuracy to boot and you can whipe the slate clean....and who needs medic...getting low on HAM? FD...wait for the bleeds and such to go away/heal, (maybe spend a little time chatting with the guild in your "down time") and get back up and finish the job

Rifles and swordsman are the two best damage professions in the game almost guarenteed. That said, youll do more damage as a swordsman with an all melee template and youll have a lot better defenses to go along with that. However a speedcapped rifle will outdamage a swordsman. So its a choice between Swords and Rifles for a pure damage giver, and Swords with melee for a tanker/damage.

First, thanks again for all the input. You guys have given me a lot to think about.
Question, what do you mean "get into aurila and get some...."? (Sorry my ignorance of combat profs is showing, but thanks to you all it's getting less all the time. :} )
