I am gonna go master swords and master pikeman.
if that will even be possible.. that will be one box short of a triple master template.. only 2 of the branches you'll have to get will be completley useless to you in combat.

I don't see why I couldn't it would be fewer points than a master melee and a master ranged template and I have heard that those will be possible.

well it looks like your right.. currently you would have 54 points left over after getting all brawler branches, master swordsman, master pikeman... hopefully they don't hose you over and increase the sp requirements tho. the only other thing i can think of is that pikeman will in no way benifit you while fighting with 2handed weapons from the way their explaining it.. same asUA tree won't benifit you as a pikeman. might as well call it a day and go rifleman since they won't have any wasted skill points. personally i dont' care if we have to pick up another tree to keep our proffs.. but atleast make it freggin usefull.

1st) The latest CU docs released openly encourage dual professions.
2nd) Said docs also state that many special abilities will no longer be weapon specific. So, something from the brawler unarmed line could quite conceivably be used by a master pikeman who still has his LVA equipped.
3rd) Go try crying about useless boxes and wasted SP on the Ranger boards. See what they get to deal with, even after this great upgrade.
As for TKM, MS, it is a great combo now, and should continue to be good after the CU hits.

Based on the prereqs document, my current template looks to be CU-ready:
Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
TK 4304
Fencer 1440
Medic 2000
Combat Prowess 0001 (I have +10 total in a belt and shirt - +4/+6, respectively)
I don't know what's going to happen to Medic, stims, and bleed heals (watch, they'll put it at Master Medic or some BS) so that might be 19SP of flexibility come 5/5.

Yea, it is a great template now, I am referring to after CU. It may be effective after CU who knows , but I thought your HAM was directly correlated to the master proffessions one has. For example, noobs, 1k ham, single master dabbler 2k ham, and double mastery 3k ham. Now I am not sure where I heard this or if it is true or not

Kayl from what I am reading your template is not gonna be strong at all. You have the basic stacker template. This is supposedly part of what the cu is trying to get people not to do. I could be wrong but that is what I am reading/hearing.

Well, it's an effective PvEer template. I'll be on TC-5 when it goes CU, so I'll know what to do.
