Master Swordsman

TKA 4404

Fencer 4430

Master Brawler

Novice Medic

Thoughts?

I would drop TKA to 2/3/0/4 or 4/3/0/4 the last box in the second branch doesnt offer any additional def mods, just unarmed toughness if I recall.

Funny though, I will probably adopt that template they way I am going now. I just want to master Fencer first and maybe Pike then settle for what you mentioned. However, all that dodge is wasted from what I understand as it is tied to the fencer weapon. Please let me know if I am wrong.

1. master swordsman


2. master TKA


3. master Brawler


4. novice medic

and if you have any points left novice scout with exp1

you'd have a good chance soloing krayts with this template, and i do mean the new 350kHAMkrayts

what about ch lol? that is the best thing to get for pve, especially with all the cheap pets, just my idea on it though.

That looks like a good template but wouldn't the fencer give me more def vs. and ranged/melee defense?

With the template i'n forming... I will be the tank. My freind has a similar template to me and he can tank 6 Nightsister Rancors at once, unbuffed. Now tell me, whats a better tank...CH or Him?

Without Ranged Mitigation skills, if anyone shoots at you andever lands a hit on you, you'll be dead meat...

I'd keep meditation 4 because it'll help you cure your own wounds.

I have the same template you do although I may give up some TKA skill to get a fencer's defense mods. Can you tell me what your technique is for fighting giant kimos? It's not the same as a krayt but even when I was buffed I had to give up fighting the kimo after 8 minutes.

My bleeds didn't last very long, the kimo diseased me 3 times, and I only did about 20k in damage before calling my attack off.

KD2, warcry2, mindbleed 1 and 2, intimadate2. KD/warcry it often for the damage bonus. intimadate it whenevery it wears off. start the process over whenever the bleeds go away. wash, rinse, repeat

I won't need ranged migitation swince I will mostly be fighting creatures and NSs-melee. But thats a good tip anyway. Too bad for going to get defence trees from other professions, since they nerfed them and they dont stack. I think i'll still go with TKM/Swordsman/Master Brawler, I should still be able to fight quite a bit.

Does anyone know if this is true for all defense mods or only certain ones? My range and melee defenses seem to be stacking.
