GAH, stupid enter button!!

Anyways, PVP wise, which of these two combos do you think is more effective?

Master Swordsman and Master Carbinier

Master Swordsman 4/4/4/0 Fencer 4/0/0/4 TKA

I'd have a blast with either of them so fun is not an issue. The carbine would give me a ranged advantage and the counterattack stacking is suppposed to be great. The pure melee template on the other hand would give me huge defenses, Power boost and Meditate which is one of the coolest abilities to have. No more having to worry about poisons, diseases or wounds.

Oh and no matter which one I go with, I'll still have Master Brawler and Novice Medic.

Oh and sorry about the impossible to understand thread title. Stupid enter button and lack of edit feature. >:

You will probably be best off going with a master brawler build and the Toning down one of your two optionsa bit......Have you given any thought to something like....:

M.Brawler + M.Sword + TKA Meditation4 + Carbine Counter Attack Line +Fencer *OR* TKA defence Stat line+ Novice medic

This is the Spec i am Planning to migrate towards after i finish my Holo Grinding.....To me it seems just about Flawless and the only other spec that even enters into the picture would be the Master Doc + Sword for the big healing, Always buffed, Always armored, Ready to take on anything feeling it Gives

Ohh hehe, forgot to add....PvP wise....Given your two options(neither having master brawler) you would be MUCH better off with the Carbine+Sword....Fencer and TK would just be redundant for you as you would only realy use the Heavy Sword abilities or the Stun baton for the Full duration ofmost battles.

With the carbine and swordYou get Both ranged and Melee mitigation as well as the stacking counterattack, a ranged Knockdown option and a Few more damage types So in that Choice i would Deffinitly go with the carbine

I'm going to be getting Master Brawler no matter which of these I pick since I'll still have enough skill points left so that's not an issue. Plus, I hear that if you want to be at all good with the carbine, you'll have to master the entire skill tree for it. As for Fencer, I'm not going to necessarly use that as a weapon, I'm just picking up it's defenses so I can stack them.
