Can heal all states, disease/poison, and fire, plus you get to use those nifty AOE cures, its a great temp for solo and support. With a good PSG/stun helm you shouldn't have to worry too much about riflemen either... besides, they can't keep you intimidated
My template is very similar to this, except I only have 2/0/0/0 Doc, and 3/0/0/0 Fencer. The problem I've found is that although I can cure states, my defenses against them aren't high enough so as soon as it goes it's back again. When someone combines dizzy/kd with some DOTs, I get severly owned.

Well, with that temp you can't heal disease or fire... IMO its well worth dropping all defenses other than swordsmans in order to cure those 2 things (plus you get more healing speed).
Only problem I have is with MRM as i said, but that can be negated
Healing all dots is well well well worth it

Does anyone know any ways to defeat a Jedi Knight in PvP? And what template would be effective against them mainly that uses Swordsman as its main?
any template that has a fair amount of defense and master brawler and some medic.
why?? the defense keeps them from pummeling you obviously, the warcry 2 from master brawler lets u delay the jedi and get 4 heals in without the jedi being able to attack you, the option to use 2 different lunges, 1 a posture change and the other a knock down, and swordsman naturally are good vs jedi because of our toughness mod, and master brawler gives us like +5 toughness.
with the template i mentioned in my first post on this thread i take jedi pretty well, but im sure there are better.

Thanks for the advice APEist_theReb. Also, would Force Sensitive skills like enhanced melee speed/accuracy and other FS skills be worth it?
It works well against everything if you learn how to use it properly.

just untill some rifleman shows up with a 1k dmg t21 and do strafe2 on you for 2000 dmg every second, even with a 90% armor thats 200 dmg going through every second, too many ppl overlook ranged mitigation when doing a pvp melee template.
And some of us have Doc in our template, thus can't afford to spend points on ranged mitigation because we need the points to be able to cure crazy stackers like this lot from all the poisons and diseases.
Also, how many 1k dmg T21's do you have on your server?
On Farstar, the only ones that are over 1k dmg are the exceptionals, and you hardly see them every day...
