I just read a post where someone said that the combat revamp is going to basically kill defense stacking. You will only have the defense for the weapon you are carrying. So my question is how does this affect swordsman templates as we know them?
If this is in the revamp, then why should I bother with Fencer or Pikeman for their defense bonus? I feel a little handcuffed right now because I've made a lot of progress lately (finally got glowing w/master brawler) and I don't know what to do until this mysterious revamp comes into effect.
I guess it's too early to tell but I expect some people who don't stay up to date on these kind of things to be very unpleasantly surprised whenever the revamp is finally released

Persoanlly i have never "stacked" as it were but if it changed then that would be very good. Also for swordsman hopfully they may give us better defences, or lower over professions to "rebalance" everything.

the reason why they are doing the no defense stacking is to balance out all professions....i mean if ur a swordsman, it will still help to have some TK.. that way you can meditate. We probably have awhile before the revamp comes anyhow, so if ur close, finish mastering and enjoy ur time with high defenses. Solo everything you can

I've heard nothing about the death of stacking, just the effect it has.
Part of SWG was the ability to "dabble" and be different.

thing is "dabble"ing just let to cookie cutter templates most of the time hehe.
you will still see more unique templates. its just the defense lines of professions will be less attention-grabbing than special move lines, and accuracy lines (to land the special moves). also, the # of docs and ranged/melee are gonna skyrocket.
