Im looking to be able to Solo NS for cryatals/loot, but also to be able to take on as much of the high level content solo as possible, and be a fantastic tank for a group for the DWB and such.
With MDoc, I know it hurts my SP but I want it in there, what wouldbe best for me. MSwordsman, or MTka?
I know MSwords has a HUGE DPS advantage over TKM, but the melee def is only 20... so Id get torn up fast would I?
MTKA has less DPS but take far less damage/states over time.
Please post your experiences if you would, dont post about MSwords+MTKM+4440 Fencer, Iv thought about it just for the huge DEF lol

If you are fighting high-level stuff then your melee/ranged defenses aren't going to help you that much anyway since their accuracy is so high. They'll hit you no matter what so it's best to have Doc to at least heal the damage and swords has 2 damage types with good damage output.
The new template I'm going for on Flurry is.
Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
Doctor 4/1/0/0
FS Combat Prowess 0/0/4/4
You can heal lots of damage plus cure poison, disease, and states very quick.

Must have Master Swordsman if you even plan on taking on real hi end mobs. Everything else has way too much kinetic resist to go TKA.

also though masterswordsman, althought strong, doesnt have alot of natural defenses. specially when nightsisters starting throwing on dizzies and stuns and kd's.

I was master doctor/master swords about a weeek ago (dropped due to fs demands), and elders are pretty challenging to fight, doc/swords is fun but i would think there is a much better template out there for those NS's. I've tried it and it's not that effective, i'd say, probably invest in defenses and pick up 4030 in medic if you want to get the bleeds off and be able to heal well.

Definitely swords and not even master doc, i use 0440 for buffing myself and kill all the ns at will.

Master doc/swords works great for NS! If it wasnt that effective then you were doing something wrong, I dont think there is a better template for solo'ing just about anything!

how about Master Swordsman/Master Fencer/Master Brawler/TKA 4304 for NS? I'm working towards that template atm, or will dropping my medic skills make it possible to solo them?
(tried some NS spell weavers, senintels and protectors with all those skills cept TKA skills and I didnt take too much dmg)

im master swordsman/master fencer/master brawler/ 4-0-0-1 tka with the rest of the points in melee speed, making me speed capped.
protectors and under i can tank with no problem with no heals. ( unless they have a stun baton, i dont use stun armor for hunting)
i havent tried to solo a elder, but me and my freind almost took one (him being tkm/doc) and we could of killed it, but we had forgot the mind buffs and we had to run away before our mind gave in.
so if you want that templete, or a templete with no or little healing, it might be wise to take a med/doc along for elders. other then that, all other ns's are cake.
also, i can solo a singing mountain clan guardian without breaking a sweat. i dnno what there supposed to be equal to in terms of ns/singing mountain clan, but they were easy.

I'm M Swordsman, M Brawler, Fencer 244x, TKA 43x4 with enhanced melee speed and accuracy from the FS.
I'll kill about 90% of the Elders I go up against.. obviously if they pull out a stun baton i run, and on someinstanceswhen they
pull out an AP2 weapon and my health gets low I have to burstrun but I keep them chasing me with enough distance to where
Ican regen my HAM.. then I finish them off. Food helps: steak, won-won, pixie, and a couple other (mainly health mod) foods
i never bother to remember the name of

My char in Farstar is MSwords and MDoctor and ive been hunting NS and pretty much all kind high-end mobs and I can tell that this ispretty much best template for that purpose. Lack of defenses isnt so big deal because high-end mobshits through defenses no matter what and I dont see dizzy+kd so big deal from mobsbecause they will get it through sametime pretty rarely and you can get up pretty fast with simple /stand /healstate dizzy macro. Of course you have all state heals along you and that pretty vital firstaid and you can buff up always when you want.:/.
Fixed few typos
