Hi @all
could someone help me? What about MS /TKM and Doctor 3-0-0-0? (and some FS skills)
I amconsidering dropping Doc, or atleast some of it, and picking up Combat Medic for the paralze special. Do you think this would be a good trade off?

Lukious i dont know what server you play on or howbad the hammers are or whatever it is but saying swordsman have a low damage output is the funniest thing i've ever heard....action does go down quickly..but there are plenty of foods and spices that you can stack to keep your action up fairly high and when its drops the attacks that dont take much action still do plenty of damage. Swordsman is by far the highest damage output (with the right hammer and such) that this game has now rivaled only by rifleman.
Alright now anyway my template (this is a non-perm) is M.Swords/TKM/Doc 4000 with 4 points that i'll be putting into other things once i change my template. I use swords for attack of course, tkm for the free armor, and doc to heal....this template has made me extremeley efficient in pve (juvi krayts are easy) and very strong in pvp its a very fun template and the only reason i'm planning on changing it up is to be better set for pvp
I don't know what Server your on to be able to say that Swordsman is the highest damage dealing profession...
I respec'ed to Master Pikes/Master TK/Novice Swords and I can tell you that this is not true.
The best Hammers on my server (wanderhome) have about 300ish base DPS wiht the exception of a handful of uber hammers noone owns or is willing to sell but every combat prof has those uber weapons.
Now let's start comparing shall we? Vibrolances: 300 DPS
New quest weapons any person with 2 hands and half a brain can get on kashyyyk: 300-324 base DPS. All of them being Fencer-Carb-Rifle-Pistol-weapons. Not a single one of the new weapons from quests is for swordsmen. Anyone respecing a bit can get headhit for a few skillpoints and rival the Master Swords templates (modified DPS-wise with head hit).
Believe me I have tried.
Even worse is that the ranged profs outdamage any powerhammer with or without quest-weapons. I just bought a carbine with 316 base DPS and only 96 action cost, whereas the best Hammer I fave found is at 301 DPS with 125 action costs.
Master Carbs gives you skills that can easily pump the damage up to and over a headhit with swords. Armourbrake makes you have to be up close to the PvP enemy, but before you get there, you are pounded with damage equivilant to your own.
Sure I have won lots of PvP fights with Master Swords/Master TK/ Novice Pike - BUT those where either in group-fights OR my enemy is not much of a PvPer.
If I go 1v1 against a ranged prof that knows what he is doing... no chance: /KD/HIT/root/HIT/HIT/HIT/HIT/HIT/snare/HIT/KD/HIT/repeat.
Fine it's ok that a carb can win against me in the open field and sees me coming for him. I'm cool with that. That's way it's supposed to be. (ala Harrison Ford in last crusade)
But what bugs me is that swordsman is not what it was told us it would be: The high damage dealing profession. We are simply ONE of the many professions that deal high damage compared to TK. But even a Pistoleer with the right template can easily deal out the same damage as we do and rock against melee in PvP (not only 1v1 but also groupbattles).
Just a lil comment for you. DPS isnt that important. Sac and max damage are the most important followed by accuracy and than speed. DPS does you know good when your using specials which is mainly what a swordsman uses; instead max damage is the most important thing. As far as SAC; well made hammers now have about 1050 max damage with 85-88 sac. And as far as other templates competeing with me for damage I don't think so; I hunt with a master powers template jedi with a good saber , a master defender with a good saber, master bh master carb, and I easily out damage all of them hitting 1.6k or more against lvl 80-82.
