Here is your problem....you need to be aware of what each mob will try to do...i can solo 6 protectors being a non speedcapped sword/doc use all of your abilitys if it is nightsisters keep them intimidated if it is in the geno caves make sure u force them into melee...
get urself some stim D's at least i prefer E's....Get mind food...ahrisa brandy and canape mix...use 1 shot of brandy one shot of ahrisa...use the canape and the 2nd shot of brandy in case of emergency...being that you are a master doc and assuming you have at least 80% kinetic armor....your mind should be the only and i repeat only thing that will ever kill you when fighting in pve..hence the mind foods...
other than that always keep them bleeding and intimed then use headhit3

ok ill answer this plain and simple tkm vs sword master is big difference because unarmed is kinetic and also unarmed damage but swordman is just kenetic. so tkm does alot of unarmed damage plus kinetic

Here's some things that might have gone wrong:
1. Swordsman doesn't provide any ranged defence if I remember correctly whereas tkm does a bit
2. Your armor could be a bit better perhaps, although I don't find that the extra 10% makes much of a
difference.
3. Your armor condition should be checked to see if its dropped to zero. All it takes is one part at 0 for
them to get a lucky hit.
4. At the geo caves the genosicans use geo pistols which are stun which means that unless you have stun
composite armor it will completly bypass your armor and do full damage to you.
5. And as mentioned before intimidate the nightsisters, and force the geo's into melee so they won't use
their stun pistols.
6. Finally if you are a doc, make this macro. /warcry; /peace; /peace; /healself; or something along those
lines. It will buy you a second or two (warcry 2 is even better) to heal yourself.
Anyways hope these suggestions help,

Are u on spices? 
A TKA can only deal kinetic damage...unarmed damage is s skill mode witch enhance the damage a tka can deal...btw. afaik the only profession where this mode is working...a swordsman can deal 2 kinds of damage types....kinetic with all his swords/hacks/axe and blast with a powerhammer....and a swordsman outdamage a tka most of the times without any probs...

As a master doc/any level of swordsmen, you should have no excuse for dying in any of the geo rooms. Check your armor for decay.

There is one simple reason why you got destroyed at the geo lab. I bet your armor doesnt have stun resistance, and now that the Devs have allowed NPCs to use weapons agian, the crazed geonosian at the geo lab are using a varity of weapons including GEONOSIAN SONIC BLASTERS, which do STUN DAMAGE. If i get hit by a shot from one of thoes guns without stun comp on, i get destroyed too. You need to do1 of 2 things...
#1. Kill the Geonosian with the sonic blaster FIRST.
or
#2. Get stun resistant armor and a decent PSG.
If this has already been said, i appologise, as i did not read this whole post, just parts of it.

Sorry, but I can put any TKM through the floor as a swordsman. TKM is nothing in comparison.

I was TKM and could kill NS up to Protectors...now I am Swordsman and I can Solo Elders...
