I am a master swordsman grinding for TKM but should I forget about that and go for Master Brawler instead?

do both.. master 2hs, master TKA, master brawler, leaves 47.
if you cant do both I would do M2h, MB, 4,0,0,4 TKA. leaves like 76.
really need more info to help you out better.

if you HAD to choose, go for TKM. But only IF you have FS melee speed and some SEAs. Speed cap is very important.
TKM gives you powerboost,meditate and force of will. The only thing MB gives you is +5 speed and Intim 2. I havent used Warcry yet..never needed to. If you plan on grinding FS xp, TKM will also allow you to grind another 900k xp.
I have gone all 3 : master swords, tk and brawler. I find it to be very powerful for PvE.

I'm Swords/TKM/Brawler Master and tbh I think it's something of a waste of skillpoints - I don't use TKM hardly ever seeing as I'm speedcapped on swords and have FS melee accuracy, I can hit harder and at the same speed with a PH than a VK. Soo... I'm thinking of dropping some skills from TK - maybe keep 4xx4 for the melee/ranged def and meditate/PB/FoW. Master Brawler i love tho, Intim2 is great and Lunge2 is good to use too seeing as dizzy/posture down doesn't work too often.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
If you hunt alone:
Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
TK 4304
Fencer 2440
Medic 2000
Combat Prowess 0004
Enhanced Reflexes 1000
If you hunt in a pack (less need for melee/ranged defs against high-con mobs):
Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
TK 4300
Fencer 0440
Pikeman 0040
Medic 2000
Combat Prowess 0004
Some might say the lack of Stim-Ds might be a hindrance...but that's what Warcry 2 is for. Make that elder wait while you heal!

I'm MSwords/TKM and used to be MSwords/MBrawler. With my template's make up, I can only have one or the other (Medic and Scout skills limit the skillpoints I have available.) Personally, I like the MSwords/TKMsetup better than MSwords/MBrawler. I'm not speed capped in swords so I mainly bring out my power hammer for PvE and for large PvP events (working as a team...someone else lands the KD/Dizzy and I pound away with sledge!) If I'm caught out somewhere with a TEF or in small PvP skirmishes, I've had better luck defending myself with my TKM skills.

im Ms, TK 4300, doc 0440
its awesome for pve
it depends what you want it for, are you gunna use tka ? if not why bother other than for FoW and PB. the defences in fencer are much better.
i hear Mb is very handy for pvp as the long intim and warcy are vital to landing the dizzy/posturedown , plus lunge 2 is well handy when someone trys to run.

The original postered didnt state whether he was asking about PvE or PvP. Totally different kettle of fish. I rarely PvP to keep my PvP rating of 1361. I do PvE alot. I have a problem with there are lots of mobs in the geo caves and they stick an intimidate on my between warcrys. I cant kill them as fast as I'd like then, and when there is alot its difficult to keep them all intimidated. After trying the melee accuracy quest and trying to tank 10 ranged sith thugs or more I get master medic. I have mssword, ms brawler, ms medic, scout 3000, combat prowess melee speed + accuracy (+12). I can solo the ns caves - I can kill most ns so quick they dont have a chance to dizzy me. I got KDdizzy in front of 3 rangers and a protector the other day and its only through master medic that i survived. I had dancer, music buffs, 1 brandy, dropped a kwi adrenaline while KD (+900 to all regen for 1 min). I save my thaikillo for when I take on the ns elder. The fight lasts a little too long for comfort, with only thaiakillo for KD def, so unless someone joins in I save my stomuch for parawan nutricake and burst run away.
I will get master doc for state heals, and the earning potential; just as soon as I get a +5 2 handed speed tape to make up for the loss of speed from dropping ms brawler. Mobs in the geo labs evenhardly ever get KD will ms brawler lunge2 so its faster to just go for the kill - bearing this in mind dropping ms brawler wont change my tactics in PvE. I would feel lucky to get 1 KD on an elder in a fight so its just not worth it over the state heals doctor has. Assuming I can buy a 2 handed speed AA,I have enough for a +5 for sure but they dont come up for sale often.
