I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't believe the Defensive Acuity from TK stack with any other profession, and is strictly for when you are equipping unarmed weaponry. Instead of that line, pick up the meditation line, it's wonderful being able to meditate off poisons diseases and wounds.
Other than that, I wouldn't like to be pigeonholed into having only swords for damage output, even though blast is very good in PvE. In PvP it's not so hot, unless you have a good hammer . I'd almost pick up another combat skill and forego some of the defenses.
On TC, I was working with this build just for fun:
Master Brawler/Master Swords/Master TKM, 3-4-4-0 Fencer (Ranged/Melee defense and state defenses). It wasn't perfect, but the defenses were fairly high.

also...
- melee mitigation doesnt stack from prof to prof. if you have master tka and master swords you still only have Mit3 not Mit6. highest you can get is 3.
- defensive acuity only work while using unarmed weapons. not with swords.
- taunt +40 is good if you have a doc? how in the world does a doc help taunt. taunt makes enemies aggro you instead of someone else.
- if you are wanting to solo high lvl npcs/creatures, melee/ranged def mean nothing as they have like 500 accuracy and barely ever miss. i dont think i have ever evaded an elder. counterattack works maybe 5 times in the 5min it takes to kill one.
- if you are going to be soloing elders you need atleast 2xxx medic to heal bleeds, or 4xxx tka to med them off fast after a warcry2.

the doc comment was ment doc can heal while i use taunt to keep them off of the doc, if im alone... no use in taunting since im the only one to attack eh?
so is ther eno Ultimate PvE template out there? I could care less about PvP at this point.

Maybe pikeman/swordsman?

This template will be pretty good at soloing a majority of the creatures/NPCs. If you're looking for 'God mode' then you're out of luck.

def vs states all cap at 90 because there is ALWAYS a 10% chance to [insert state here]

How do you know this? The cap could still be 125 and there could still be a 10% chance to hit. Youre assuming the roll is as simple as a d100. Is there proof of this?

I'm just saying that once you hit 90 on defense vs states, your capped. This has been tested alot and there are some veterens on my server that informed me of this.
