Thread: Swordsman, Tka and what else
I am going Master Swordsman, Master Tka and I am thinking either fencer or pikeman which is better in the long run and if there a different profession for that combo?

Um.. why are you mastering both?
Makes no sense at all.
Pick one and go doctor.
Dont listen to him. Im doing the same thing. Im going master sword/tka and im already master brawler. This will leave me with 30 skill points left over. WIth that i can do some medic which i am currently almost master of but will probably drop. Though my only purpose in getting master tka is so i have meditate and the great defenses of a tka coupled with the rather lame defenses of a swordsman. I will however never use tka as my combat class. That being said i might only take up the 2 lines i want in it and leave the rest for medic and CH skills. Either way I will be one formitable adversary. IMO you should pick up Master brawler. It complements all the elite mellee professions very well. Especially now that warcry works. I dont see a purpose in getting more than one elite mellee weapon class though. Pick a weapon and stick with it. Then get tka. Youve obviously picked swordsman with owns both fencer and pike IMO, so why would you want them? TKA is there to basically make you keep up with justa regular tka, but wholey surpass and outshine them. I mean what tka special is capable of doing the damage a power hammer can doing 2h hit 3?
I can think of threegood reasons to getTK skills:
- Meditation for wound healing and powerboost
- +30 melee and ranged defense
- the ability to knockdown your enemy and then land a headhit3 on them. OUCH
Theres really no point to get a bunch of melee i noticed cause the melee and ranged def doesnt seem to stack.
I have 82 melee def and get hit for the same as someone with 30..

Master TKA, Master Brawler, 3/2/4/4 Swordsman, 4/0/0/0 fencer, novice pikeman
After seeing the test center changes to tka, ugh I dont know I may go master tka now, and dabble swords
Anyone know how good meleehit3 does?
it makes no difference.. just pick one.
Once you open your holocron you'll have to give it all up anyway.
Well.. you won't have to -but if you want FS you will.
you dont read do you?
if you get FS you get another character that is FS it doesnt take over your current character.

That's cause it isn't a damage blocker, it does a roll .. your melee def vs their attack and you have a better chance it'll miss you if you're higher def.

Fencer, more defensive mods.
