hey all,
i have been playing for a while as a ranged template...recently with the respecs i tried out melee and actually like it much more. my current template is master tka/master swords/4000 scout/medic 0010 (ya i know...) i can take on one or two level 80s at a time, but if i get attacked by a mob, i fall rather quickly. ive never really looked at the forums for help like this, and have found out some different templates to try. I group with my friends only once or twice per week, and there are multiple jedis who are usually at the front of the group, so being the group-tank is not the most important thing on my list. i usually hunt solo and like swordsman for the amount of damage compared to tka. i would appreciate your commnets/suggestions on which of the following templates would be best:
A) master swords/master tka/doc 4ooo
B) master swords/master doc/tka o4oo
C) master swords/doc 4oo4/tka o3oo/fencer o4o4
D) master swords/doc 4oo4/tka 21oo/fencer o4o3
dont know whether tka power boost is worth it...also, i have not tried out pvp since the CU...so eventually once i figure everthing out, i would like to go back to that.
my thoughts are:
A) good all-round, but miss the doc buffs and not realistic to get the reduced speed buff from someone every 15 mins.
B) ok, but lose a lot of attack/defense abilities -- this looks like it would be better for a group as a support role.
C) looks like trading defense of tka for offensive attacks of fencer
D) same as option C, but with ability of power boost from tka
any comments/thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Im currently loving Mswords + Mdoc a hellavu lot...got 4-4-4-0 in Medic so I get Bacta Spray which is awesome for area healsin a group (and getting everything attacking you 
).
I could probably live with just 4-0-0-0 doc but Mdoc is a great group hunt support character for guild hunts etc.

I've been a swordsman almost my entire SWG career and I've been a rifle dabbler for a while as well- Pre-CU the Head Shot/Head Hit combo was niiiice.
Now I've just gone all the way and have 0 skill points left 
Master Swordsman
Master Rifleman
Master Brawler
CP Melee Speed
So far, I'm enjoying it pretty much but I do miss having some scout/medic. I haven't tested it in PVP (haven't done too much lately) but PVE it's nice for groups and NPC hunting.

If you want a a template that shreds, (even full temp jedis in duels) MDoc, 4xxx CM, rest into swords, (can balance out the CM heals for more swords) but your heals are so insane. If you use -all- of your heals, even the ones from medic and use Ruby Biel with stim D's. You can tear the jedi in duels apart. Your CL will be 70 if you choose the right balance between CM and Swords but it doesn't matter at all.

got:
Master Brawler
Teras Kasi Master
Master Swordsman
0340 Pikeman
Novice Medic
on one of my toons, together with +25 healing efficiency tape i can heal approx 933/6seconds per bacta shot and insane defenses. Throw in piketta pie, bring up COB, flurry and parry, intimidate and warcry your opponent and have a look ^^ its unbelievable
I got TKM/MSword/4000Doc at first but it seems a bit boring, now considering if i switch to TKM/MSword/0004Doc because the adrenal boost is close to cheating
