I am currently a master Pikeman cause i have some very nice high damage pikes and i am a master brawler, i was thinking about doing swordsman to take out NS elders, but then i see that i dont have very good defense, should i drop master brawler and learn TK or fencer to get some defense? i dont PvP at all really, and if i do i use my pikes which get the job done, any and all help would be greatly appreciated

i would suggest master pike, master brawler, master sword since you do some PvP and your swords would cover your PvE. you should be just fine against elder as long as you have a 600+ max PH, mind buffs/food, stim c's or better, and some 80% + base armor.

yes, but those ''tips'' didnt help me in my situation, unless of course i switched master TK for master pikeman, and if it would be just as good, then i would follow that advice, because its good advice, just didnt apply to me who wants to be a master swordsman then master pikeman

If you are going toi stack another prof with sword i would do fencer, mucho def. I would stay away from TK and not waiste your time the def in tk sux if your stacking. atleast states it does. this is my opinion through experiance.

nooooooooo...........i suggest keeping master brawler. intimidate 2 is godly against elders and krayts. intim 1 will only let you get in 7 or 8 hits against a krayt or elder. add in time healing bleeds or stiming and i think you would regret the loss of time and the additional melee speed master brawler gives you.

Swordsman defense is deceptive.. the melee/ranged/state defenses look sorta low, but their Melee Toughness is second-highest in the game, which is a direct % deduction from damage.

interesting, i never knew, lol when i loaded up the charector builder and noticed how low it was i figured dang, there has to be something wrong. Should i go ahead and do fencer 3 2 0 0 or is it not even needed, if its not needed where should i invest those skill points?

i agree with havind medic 2040. thats what my template has. even stim d's can get weak when your battle fatigue starts to get around 700ish. and if your on your 2nd or third krayt its likelly to be well over 700 and your armor condition prolly will be pretty bad so having stim d's is nice insurance. not to mention you can let your pools drain a bit more cramming in more hits between heals.
