Master H.sword
Master riffle
TKA 4004
Novice medic
ranged support 1...
Im kicking so much ass in Pve its rediculous...I dont even wear armor anymore. Ive concealshotted dark jedi to death, nighsisters, entire lairs of rancors, enraged rancors, giant kimogilas... ect ect ect.
I can do imperial faction missions in 4-5 shots (flurry/flushing/strafe/stafe/strafe)
and singles are so easy if you mind kill em... flurry shot and flushing shot give a swordsman much needed status attacks. Not to mention meditate 4, power boost, force of will, unarmed blind1 .. also with a bio engineered melee defense shirt you hit the ranged & melee defense cap.. AND HAVE RANGED AND MELEE MITIGATION.
Ive been doing very well in PvP also... most of the time...
So Its a 100% potent PVE template.
Sounds like you hardly even use your Swordsman skills, Gimperial. Is Rifle the end-all profession? Almost sounds too easy.
I've also been hearing a lot about the Swordsman/Doctor combo being one of the best out there... true? What are the advantages to that? Just buff/heal yourself? Sounds weak to me

I have the exact same template (or will be once I finish going 4/0/0/4 TKA).
My HAM is 400/400/400 - 400/400/400 - 1000/1000/1000.
I use 2H Swordsman more than Rifleman mostly due to Center of Being and the fact that I have been spending most of my time in the Geo Dungeon and the Corvette. Plus, it seems that a lot of creatures in the game are vulnerable or have low resistance to blast. When they don't, I'll switch to my T21 or DXR-6b and kill them with energy or acid. On the occasion when I need it, I can also use my Jawa for stun damage.
I solo'd the Geo Dungeon the other day, except the Acklay didn't spawn. I waited for about 30 minutes and it was still a no show, and I needed to log, so I left the same way I came in.
This template won't be soloing the Corvette in its current state, but you can be really useful up there withmelee and rangedmitigation 3 (ranged being the only one that you'll be using since everything uses ranged attacks) and the fact that the Super Battle Droids are 40% resistant to acid.
What template is your friend going for? A sword + Brawler template supported by a Doc riflemen can kill anything with ease right now....
a well equiped Swordsmen with master brawler and novice medic can kill just about anything in the game currently...a freind helping you will only make it faster and easier 
Well, he's still pretty undecided. He's mostly interested in Rifleman and Commando, but is easily persuadable at this point. He may be interested in Master Doctor, but may think it's too much of a skill point sink. I'll ask.
Anyhow, the main decision I guess I'm trying to make at the moment is whether to keep Master Rifleman -or-finish upMaster Brawler and invest the other skill points in something else to benefit the template.
By the way, what effects (dizzy etc) do the current special moves of Swordsmen have?

Now I've reconfigured the skill points once again. I can Master Swordsman, Rifleman and Brawler with 18 points (novice medic for 440 stim B's?)left over. What do you all think of that?
I'd love to have Teras Kasi, but taking away from Brawler at allwould be huge with the loss of the specials. Then taking away from MasterRifleman could render it near useless without the bonuses to concealment/speed/strafe shot 2and Ranged Mitigation 3. If only I had a few more skill points...
I'm thinking maybe take from Rifle to get Teras Kasi back plus novice Medic, but what can go? How useful/powerful is Force of Will?
Too many decisions!
