Thread: Now what's the best template combination with SM?
no cap on the stats, but it will have diminishing returns (i would think) just like speed and accuracy.
there IS a cap on your BE tissues and clothing/armor attachments.
you can only add +25 to any skill from tissues/clothing+armor attachments.
this is confirmed by devs and can be seen in a sticky in the TKm forums.

This is the one - you are right my friend!
MSwords, MPikeman, MBrawler and the rest to TKA
I would train the Meditate tree myself for extra self-reliance. You get the Improved CoB from TKA (don't forget to macro it). Add a good PSG, a uber 500+ DPS hammer, good 5500-6000 armor, food, drink, a +16 defense melee/ranged undershirt and any uber attachments for the 4 available sockets. Mix well then bake at...
You see what I'm saying...pre-CU they used to call it "God mode". Post-CU, it could be you, or me 
I like your style 
I was thinking more the meditate but then I thought about that +10 to melee speed.

What do y'all think about MSword/TKM/MFencer?
Cannot triple Elite Master.
You can triple Master only by using Master Brawler + 2 Master Elite professions

I'm actually close to some of the people above - I have Master Swordsman, TKM, Master Brawler and the rest on some pike skills(2341),, I couldn't be happier with my template...However i had to sacrifice Terrain Nav which i miss
you can get +25 terrain negotiation from BE tissues. works great! you will need to purchase two pieces of clothing with mods, fyi.
triple mastery - TKM/Fencer/Swordsman is a lot of fun, i'm enjoying it so far. Fencer Bind, Blind, cripple, and advanced lunge are particularily useful. (advanced lunge does not extend range, but it does do a lot more dmg). bind really slows down action regen rates, and cripple snares a toon to walking speed.
Fencer is definitely PVP oriented- because none of these skills (except maybe Blind) is really that useful in pve.
TKM/mBrawler/mSword/Pike dabble was a lot of fun. this vs TKM/Fencer/Sword...i dunno. flip a coin on who would win.
i say any combination of mSword and TKA is a good basis for a template. if you want to wear armor, don't bother mastering TK, if you want to fight in clothes, go TKM.
