I have mastered all 3 of these professions at least once since launch, and have come back to them as my faves, esp now that T21s are craftable on my server lol. Anyways, I want a good PvE/PvP template and for the PvE part I was between Swordsman and Rifleman, but ultimatly decided I prefered the damage types and Conceal shot from Rifleman. However, for PvP I can't decide weather to back it up with TKM and dabble Fencer or master fencer and dabble tkm for meditate and such. I've learned the strengths and weaknesses to TKM and Fencer, and really can't decide which would help me more for PvP please help thanks.

I think Fencer is much better. You get very nice defenses plus a stun weapon. Then I'd pick up the meditate line in TKA, and then a couple of other defenses in TKA, not sure how much ranged/melee you'll need to cap, probably not the whole line so you might want to get a couple of state defenses if you can. A pure master fencer is pretty tough in PvP, couple it with rifleman and you can be very good if you know how to use both of them. Good luck

Fencer is great for PvP, although im sure it will lose its flavor of the month profession soon. Stun baton's are nice, but stun protected composite will be more and more common making it useless (stun baton is only ap0).
TKA eh...its just average. Kinetic only damage sucks, ap1 is not great when you're used to ap3 t21. Meditation is convenient and sometimes necessary for PvP.
Swordsman was my choice out of the melee classes, its an awesome PvE tank and very powerful. When I pvp I choose rifleman unless they are closing in on me.
However, the biggest problem with PvP is combat medics...unless you're a doctor you will die. Meditation isn't fast enough to stop it, but allows you to run away and meditate it off.

If you get a acklay baton your are good to go. They hit for 400 even when i wear my 18% stun armor
