Hello Smugglers. To begin, this is not Freedo. This is his brother, who is using his account to post because I can't log on my own account for some reason. Anyway, I have a male Twi'lek on Naritus named Athedos. Right now he is a smuggler 0/0/1/0, and I intend to become master smuggler one day. I am working also on some pistoleer skills to acompany smuggler. My question for the smugglers is this: which of the melee professions would best accompany smuggler/pistoleer?
TKA? It would save some skill points, but there are so many of them out there...
Fencer? Might work with pistoleer both doing health-related damage, but I hate the stun baton (not exactly a sword...)
Swordsman? Cool swords to use, but I hate the power hammer (a huge hammer in star wars?)
Pikeman? I have always liked the idea of pikes, and all the weapons look cool, but the action-related damage might not work well with pistols.
Anyway, I am stuck trying to decide what skill would work best with smuggler. Thank you in advance for your help.

oops sorry about that....
......I am a pistoleer, smuggler, TKA. I find that usually TKA does hits to the health bar than anyother bar. Also, TKA have attacks for each pool so it will work with pistoleer.

personaly whatever melee you choose to do I'd master that before pistoleer. The melee professions are more damaging at the moment.
The triple master (TKM/Smuggler/Pistoleer) good all around profession that can take on most mobs though you'll have to leave the high end mobs alone unless your grouped or want to spend 3 hours talking them down.
Fencer/pistoleer (aka the defence stacker), good at master and pistoleer compliments it greatly, This is a great profession for PvP but I'm not to sure about high end PvE mobs, porbably alot like the triple master.
Swordsman at the minute is the melee profession that is used to take down high level mobs. If you like PvE then take up swords man.
Pikeman with the combat rebalance I see this as the next FOTM. There are some insane double dots out there and I'm surprised very few pvp players have not taken this profession up to at least novice even though you can't hit the broadside of a a barn with it. It's a not so bad profession for PvE and you are the only melee profession that can do electric damage which is useful against them damed super destroyer droids in the deathwatch. In the end it's up to you. Choose whatever you feel like going at,

tka is good with pistol/smuggler
the defenses are wonderful and it's a great prof for pve and has some good specials (intimidate, blind, combo, etc.) for pvp too
