Here's my current: Master Rifle/Master Swordsman(still leveling this part)/0.0.0.4 CH. Now I know off the bat the CH part doesn't seem to make sense. But I have a tough as nails BE'd gurreck(as good as a level 50)I can use at this level. It can tank a good while. My strategy with this template against tough single targets(NS elders and similar) is to be able to send my tank in, soften the target up with rifle shots without having to take any damage myself, then eventually finish off said target in close quarters with Scythe/Power Hammer. Against mobs the pet really does little good, but I'll be hunting those with larger groups. But I'll be hunting tough single npc's either on my own or just with one other person. Any suggestions? If I drop the CH what other skills/lines in any trees would help me to be able to do this? Thx.

This may not be the ultimate, but here's what I'm working on for this..


Master Swords, Master Brawler, TKA 4004, Fencer 3000, Scout 4040 and Novice Medic.


The idea for this is hunter.. the scout gives good harvest and terrain neg, and the swords will deal the damage.. TKA for meditate, FoW and defenses, and then some fencer defenses thown in.. This will cap my melee defense and get ranged up to 119. Medic just to usestims if i need them..


Hope it helps you in some way..

I am new at all this template creating, but this is my plan for what I hope of being the "ultimate melee tank". I do not plan to pvp with this, this will mostly be pve char.



Master Swordsman


Master Brawler (intimidate2, ranged kd , extra speed and acc)


TKA 4,3,0,4 (lots of defense, Meditation, Force of will, Power boost )


Fencer 4,4,0,0 (more defences, should be close to the cap on melee and ranged, at this point)


Medic 0,0,4,0 (Stim D's experimneting down for med use )



What do you guys think ?

what i am trying to work out is Master Heavy swords/Master Doc/and use final skill points for whatever i can. Have heard master doc and master swordsman are the best or one of the best templates for pve so i shall give it a try. Want to start soloing the best npcs instead of a group of 2 or 3 so i get all the LOOT .

all these templates sound good, but for the "hunter" dude, i wouldnt get the last exploration box of scout, only gives ya burst run mods and some mask scent mods.


with exploration 3 u can get around onall theplanets fine with mask scent, so u really dont need exploration 5.


instead put it into medic first aid line, so then you can heal bleeds in the middle of a fight. mob dealt bleeds dont take to much to cure anyways.


just some advice

Master Sword/Master Doc....


Being able to use good stims and remove states is huge. Not to mention buffs.

Well, maybe related, is the ultimate PvE solo Template...well maybe not, but something I was thinking about...


Master Swordsman
Novice Entertainer 0-0-0-0
Novice Scout 0-0-1-0 (for Hunting 1)
Doctor 4-4-4-0

This is definitly for the solo hunter.

Master Swordsman for obvious reasons
Entertainer to get rid of BF
Scout so you can harvest the meat, hide or bone
Doctor for self buffin, healing diseases, poison, bleeds, etc...as well as all your uber stim action


This is something geered for prolonged fighting. Most galaxies have places to buy enhance packs for non-masters. So, this template I think would be great for the solo hunter, especially for huntin on remote planets.

More counter attack and a ranged KD. CAn still buff to a high level and can use stimEs.

the best PvE template for the biggest mobs in game ( i.e. NS elders, DJM, SMC elders, krayts) and doing it solo is commando 0040, smuggler 0030, cm 2004. you stack the 3 flame DoTs, stack 2 different health poisions, throw a high damage disease on it then feign death until one of your DoTs wears off. then you get up and flame/poision/disease it again.


Since DJM have heavy armor and 90% resists to everythingat 350kHAM and SMC elders have heavy armor and 85% to Blast and Kenetic and 100% to everything else at 350k HAM also DoTs are the way to go. MHS/Doc is great for anything with100k ham or less.

I am a Master Doc, and I have to say, if you like solo pve it is great, you never have to look for buffs, and you can heal your self so well that nothing can really take you down one on one - well almost anything.

Quote: you stack the 3 flame DoTs

My understanding is that dots do not stack now.

dude i used to have this template.


it was my first pvp swordsman-oriented template. wanted that ranged kd bad, hehe.


it was pretty good back in the days when defenses werent working, but now it sucks. way to little accuracy, and the doc parts good and all, but you still cant heal poison or anything of the sort.


heres a very similar but alltogether much more effective template:


Master Swordsman/smuggler 0-0-3-0/pistoleer 0-4-0-0/teras kasi artist 4-0-0-4/medic 4-0-0-4.


this allows you to buff your primaries to around 1500 (depending on race and ur personal structure), heal poison/disease, use stim d's (which r cheaper than e's, and not much worse), knock down ur opponent from afar with low blow with prettygood accuracy, have fairly good defense (60 ranged, 82 melee, itll make up for no having the 125 counter attacks), and of course do ultra dmg from master swordsman.


but try ur template out, experience it. its still fun, cept combat xp is a pain. just, once u see how it is, i think ull wanna change.
