well one thing i do know...
As a TKM, if you use a hammer, you won't get the TKA armor, just the melee/ranged defences... So if you used a hammer it'd be better to wear armor

So I'm testing out some new templates, and I'm wondering what those of you with a bit more experience would suggest.
My options all have MBrawler, MSwords.
Then I'm stacking something else.
I'm considering TKM, combined with Pike 4/4/3/0, which would give me 225 Acc, 70 Speed, 60 Armor, 210 MDef and 150 RDef (plus swords). I get meditate, but lose improved intimidate and improved impale.
Then I'm considering MPike, combined with TKA 0/4/4/3, which gets me 220 Acc, 70 speed, 40 armor, 220 MDef and 155 RDef. I lose meditate, but I get the improved abilities.
I'm thinking TKM because I would prefer to not deal with armor at this point - I like the lone wookiee with a Hammer image.
However, if I don't go that, then my last options was MPike, Fencer 0/4/4/3, which is 215/70/0 armor/200/130. I lose a lot of stats from that, and gain a lot of state effects (Bleed, Blind, Cripple).
I'm leaning toward MPike, TKA, but I'm not sure the 10 Defense and the attacks make up for a loss of 20 armor. Can I get by with 40 armor? I assume I'd be CL 80 at that point, so.... Also, can I get by without Meditate? I've been MSwords/Doc 4/4/4/0 until now, but I'm trying out the tank angle, so I'm used to having healing....
Mainly, I'm just looking for input from those much wiser than I.

as a tkm, no matter what weapon you use, if you don't wear armor you still get the innate tkm armor actually.

You can equip every weapon, it does not affect innate armor .... you cannot wear armor though.
I'm TKM / MSwords / Mbrawler / Novice Fencer+Pike / Medic0040 / FS melee def
This works out very well for me.... i decided to spend SP in med, as I needed that much harder then extra defense or speed. The bactshot heals me for 450 every few seconds, without be-clothers or food...and when really in trouble, i can use my 1250 Stim D.
The innate armor works well, ane the 10 minute powerboost of 500 Health is a nice extra ....
With this template, i keep myself alive against 3 level 79/80 ....
