Please look at this template and give me an opinion:
Master Rifleman
Master Swordsman
TKA 0300
Pistoleer 0040
Take into consideration I'm Zabrak and want to PvP.
Thank you!

if i where you i wound get master pike insted off swordsman.
since master pike got dizzy and kd, pluss you use a mind fire lance to get him dizzy kd.
then use the rifle for the kill.

MS/MRM/TK4004 I think would be a wiser choice depending on what you were intending to use the template for.

I have to agree with this. Throw Novice Medic in there and pick up Ranged Support I from Marksman for /Aim and you're all set(249 skill points).
Pikeman isn't too bad for PvP, but Sowrdsman complements Rifleman very well. If you get one of these, go Pikeman. Until then, I'd wait for the revamp before trying any of the professions that need fixing.

It is always nice to see a Zabrak Rifleman\Swordsman. Oh wait... that's me
Personally I don't believe stacking defense work well enought for the little amount of skill points we have left over. If you compare the skill set to a real melee stacker (TKM, Master Brawler, Fencer 4\4\4\0, Pistoleer 0\0\40) you will see there's a huge difference, and well the difference shows in PvP and PvE.
After trying a few different changes the one I found best is picking up Medic 2\0\4\0 and Scout 4\0\0\0, nice and simple I can heal and I can move.In PvP the only time I pull out a sword is against Jedi, so the only defense I need is againt range user, but then rifle out damage all other range people in PvP so I guess I don't need none after all.This template let mestop bleed in combat and heal for around 1000 with stim D with medic, and Scout give me the edge over just about all meleer in PvP; It will be a hard push for them to get in range to even use lunge 2, also it givemethe chance to get away from a bad PvP or mobs fight. The exceptionin is of course BH and Jedi, against BH you need only 90% resist KD then you just simply out damage them and kill them out right, and as for Jedi I would just hold out the pretty scythe and pray they don't come after you. Since I don't think there is a ture effective build out for a Rifleman\Swordsman to handle a Jedi. At least not one that is master saber with healing (pretter much all the knights)

Fencer > Swordsman in pvp, I was a fencer rifleman for a while and they are decent in pvp but i hate pvp so dumped fencer and did swordsman because they are better in pve which i did most of the time.

I'll agree w Syraxen's statement rifleman is great for PVE and PVP but swords isnt as good for PVP as fencer is.

i'd get Master Rifleman / Master Brawler / Master Swordsman / Novice Medic..... but thats because its my template and it totally rocks
(brawler gives you intimidation II, also gives you a KD for swordsman, which is SO handy, also gives you +5 speed for Swordsman.. infact i really love Master Brawler).
