Do i go TKA 4 3 0 4 Nov pistols . This willl give me some good Def Vs, but better melee and ranged defense. (Does combat equilibrium work with sword equipped?) or
Do TKA 4 3 0 0 . Pistoleer 0 0 4 0 . Better Def vs , but way lower melee and ranged defense.
I'm already a master swordsman and want to keep that, i bet i should have went master fencer instead for the dodge but i plan on using my melee more than my pistols in close encounters. Any suggestions? I"m thinking on the upper template because it will give me about +60 more melee and +40 more ranged defense. Thanks for input.

Well I am going exactly that now 
Was TKM, dropped the power line and took up swordsman , in the end I will be Master swords / smuggler and TK 4/4/0/4. Don't ask just thought it would be nice for PvP and have some fun on the side cos Smuggler is great !

ya i'm thinking that way too. Of course i'd be giving up my pistols aspect , but with swordsman you can at least take on some higher end mobs now and if you have to pvp, the combined tka/swordsman is better than pistols. Even when they have the rebalance it might be nice to have. And if a bh tracks me down he may not be expecting my 450 damage scythe coming at his neck

Working up Master Swordsman 'cos of a holo and I love it. Working on Smuggler 'cos that's all I wanted to be.
My thought was to pick up as much pistoleer as I can- but I would sacrafice that for TKA if I can get a hold of some pistol skill tapes.
The new BHs have me very worried 'cos there is no way you're going to out pistol them. On the other hand getting close enough for melee and staying close to make it count might be a problem too.
But you can't beat MS for PvE.

Yep my thoughts exactly. I've finally decided to go Master Smuggler / Master Swordsman with some TKA.

I'm with you on the master swordsman and master smuggler. However I added Master Brawler to that as well, increased toughness, speed, lunge 2 (wicked), and initimdate 2. Not to mention a couple of other little bonus's.
By going brawler rather than dabbling in a elite professions you sacrifice melee/range defence for useful skills, and I prefer toughness to melee defence anyway.

Yeah Maybe Master Swords/Master Smuggler/Master Brawler. I just thought the TKA would be nice for the meditate and the melee and ranged defenses. I'll have to look into it. I just dont like the fact that if you master brawler you are sort of wasting 28 pts on fencing and pikeman. Would Master Brawler compensate for TKA 4 3 0 4? Thats my question.
