I know a lot of TKMs are foaming to get into the Bounty Hunter Investigation tree and start their Jedi quests, but it seems to me that Swordsmen are the most lethal threat to a Jedi. While Jedi don't wear armor (as such) to protect from the lethal and fast Vibroknuckler strikes, Swordsmen can just smash in their heads with blast damage.
Anybody know any stories of a Master Swordsman fighting a decent-level Jedi?

I dueled one of the light Jedi on my server, only managed to get her down to 1/2 mind before I got incapped, though in hindsight there's a few things I would do differently this time...

I'm a master swordsman with the TKM meditate/powerboost line and have never feel to my guildmate....I think padawan-ish level Jedi with Master TKM. If I go for him with the random pool hits (2h hit3) he'll outheal/outlast me, but then I just switch to headhit with either my powerhammer or my scythe and its all over for him.

you will need a high toughness mod to fight a good jedi. i'm master swordman, master brawler = 48 toughness although TKM on its own is 52 toughness mod. i max out the counter and melee defense, it would be very effective if it wasnt for the sneaky CoB nerf.
Master swordman + brawler can be fairly good against jedi. without brawler i dont know i havent tried it yet. Jedi's defense still low so the trick is to keep them busy with intimidate, and area attack3, lurng2 and whatever status you can put on with your template. they will eventualy run out of force points. bye bye force heal =)
its do-able as i said i havent tried swordman without brawler yet..

one main problem with fighting and jedi are hight level jedi is they can heal mind in large quantiys , we were fighting in the DWB and the jedi could heal my mind of 2000 fully so if we are hitting there mind they can let it go low then heal it again , saying this the swordman dam on a jedis mind does work but with no armour we need to be buffed food anad drink to beat them , and as NOC-turnal said having TKM defence helps alot to

Bring the right stuff to the battle and you'll be fine. Synthsteak is a must, it really cuts down on that lightsaber damage. Gotta have pups too. Armor doesn't mean squat, so go ahead and take it off. I'm a doc (isn't everyone?) so dizzy, intimidate, stun, blind ect are a waste of force power. Generally the fights go like this:
Pop a synthsteak, 2 brandies (If I don't have them already), and a vercupti.
Hit jedi in head with best hammer 3-4 times.
Jedi attempts to hurt me. synthsteak blocks significant portion of jedi's damage.
Jedi forceruns away. If I lunge in time, jedi dies and I offer to rez for 500k. If I don't lunge in time the jedi gets to go cower in fear.

I've killed to guardian level jedi's with my swordsmen template. Swordsmen seems to be the best against them because we do some heavy dmg against unarmored stuff.

With the wonderful new addition of lightsaber damage, almost no armor will help against them. Its better to fight jedi naked then it is in full composite, the HAM addition will help you more.
