Hi guys, I'm currently building a new template and I was wondering a few things

I'm hesitating betweed 2 ones actually involving MHS, this will be 100% PVE as I have already a 100% PvP toon
here are my points:

1 - Not dropping master smuggler as it's my source of income, since I opened the shop I never had to grind missions for cash, so no way I'm dropping it.
2 - I don't really care about speed cap, all I want is to be able to kill tough stuff efficiently


so the first one would be
Master Swords
Master Smuggler
Medic 4430

the second one would be
Master Swords
Master Smuggler
Master Brawler
Medic 0100


so what are pros and cons on those.
also, I had mastered pikeman and it was incredibly efficient for PvE, so basically I'm kinda hesitating between trying MHS or going back pikeman, same, what are the pros and cons. why would I go MHS instead of Pikeman ?


PS: don't answer to me like I'm a noob, it's almost one year I play the game, MHS being the only combat profession I didn't mastered

go with the first one but adjust your medic to Medic 3440 that way you can use meduse 40 stim E currently on Bria I make 1113 power meduse 40 Stim E and they work wonders not to mention fighting elders First Aid is a must

allright.. Imma wait for some other inputs but all of this make sense.

unfortunately I'm not on bria but eclipse, but the servers being quite similar in terms of community/goods, I think I'll find decent stims here too.

This is a tough call I myself like the second one better. Reason being you get intimidate 2, +5 to your melee speed and some better defense(master brawler). You don't really have alot of state defenses woth these templates either that could be a potential problem with dizzzy/kd.

Medic 4430 CHANGE TO 2-3-4-0 so you can heal bleeds and use d or e stims

Master Swords
Master Smuggler
Master Brawler
Medic 0100 This one is nice to but would be alittle more effective with better heals, but with feign death you could do well.

I hope this helps and if you have any more questions feels free.

it helps alot thank you, well as that toon will be a 100% PVE one, I think I'll be ok against dizzy/KD with food only (KD food)

and yeap, I'm not going to drop master smuggler, so it's kinda tricky, but I have feign death wich is quite helpfull in tricky situations.

I dropped smuggler for my template, hardest decision I had to make in this game to date. Much more money to be made hunting elders and krayt then selling smuggla goods.

depends, I got my shop 900m from coronet starport, I'm one of the only selling sliced loot made weapons and regular sliced weapons for decent price.

I'm not a grinder, so if I kill an elder, I won't kill two the same day, and for elder hunting to worth it I bet you have to kill alot everyday, while selling pre sliced geoblasters (only, wich is not the case) can easily make your week if you get lucky enough with your slices.

my alt being MWS, I made a factory run of 5 geoblasters, got 4 damage slices, all over 28%, and they all sold in 2 or 3 days, while T21s sell easy as well as krayt scatters or powerhammers.

not to mention that I sell loot and BE clothing as well as smuggler supplies... I'm not very rich, but it's confortable enough to do whatever I want whenever I want.

my PvE template is to occasionnaly stock up my loots vendor, that's it

I'm not dropping smuggler, I'm so much enjoying to see millions credits rush into my bank account everytime I log in

why do PvE templates never include ranger? or even scout???

drop all ranged profs... go to master fencer, brawler, 2h with some medic... go down ot the gio cave for cash, i make about 400k a day in loot money. and i loot a sonic blaster schematic about once a week (worth about 2 mill on starsider).

I'm not dropping smuggler, running my sliced weapon shop lets me make a minimum of 700k/day, average of 1.2/1.5M, and over 3M for good days.

and that without doing anything else than stocking the vendors wich takes maybe 1 hour a week...

then I have all the time I want to hunt loots in addition to my shop's income.

isn't the life beautiful ?
