Hey naruk,

Ive been looking over a number of posts about template advice and you seem to be the all knowing swordsman wookie

Anyways Im looking for a Power PVE/solo template...Im not worried about PVP as it has no interest to me what so ever. I wanna be able to use this template for dungeon runs such as the DWB or Corevette. Im also looking to stand a decent chance against NS as well and just general hunting and looting

I was looking at one template I found and I think its a good one but i just want your final opinion so here goes

Master Brawler/swordsman

4304 TKA

2440 Fencer

0040 Pikeman

This temp has increadible state defences and with the recent NPC fix it will be much needed. Im not to worried about npcs kitting me as ill have lunge 2 to stop them and intimidate 2should work wonders for dmg redection. The only problem i see I have no medic like you have but i figure with foods/buffs and armour and the type of creatures i wanna face its do or die and just gotta play smart.

Anyways lemme know and tell me if I have Naruk's seal of approval

Too much of honor for a little wook like me...

Going for the big things in PvE like Vette, DWB or NS(Elders) is much harder since the npc´s using there specials again....so this things are more for groups as to be done solo by now....no question thatnpcslike NS-Elders can still be done solo but u need very good stuff...armor, weapons, doc-buff/resistancebuff, if possibile mindbuff, foods+ drinks...AND not to forget u should be spd-capped with your weapons... if u wanne go out mainly solo u will need some medic skills very bad...so all i can suggest is going for master brawlerto gain the +5 spd/accuracy/toughness and cob. Medic 0040 is nice to have - novice medic imo a must have....those npcs u wanne rumble with can hit u very hard and havin lots of HAM there own...being buffed is afaik not enough....playing with my current template is quiet funny...like it very much...only con is lack of terrain negotiation....may this is one for u...but again, to be a "great damagedealer" as a swordsman u should be spd-capped with your weapons...

Mastered Professions so far: * Brawler *TKA * Fencer * Swordsman * Pikeman * Marksman * Rifleman * Scout * Creature Handler * Medic

so based on your opinion how should I tweak my template to have a strong solid PVE template? Only thing I dont want in it is scout cuz terrain nego isnt a big deal for me

This depends so much on how u like to play the game...if u wanne go strickly with 2h-swords/ph´s than may try:

a) Master Brawler/Swords/TKA 4404/Fencer 3440 and Novice Med

b) or my current template

If Swords is no must have for u than take a look at master rifle/tka/pike 0040 and Medic 0040...IMO a very strongtemplate...

Mastered Professions so far: * Brawler *TKA * Fencer * Swordsman * Pikeman * Marksman * Rifleman * Scout * Creature Handler * Medic

Mine is similar:

Master Swordsman

Master Brawler

TKA 4304

Fencer 2400

Pikeman 0020

Medic 2000 (gives me first-aid)

I'm currently favouring posture change defence (+105 vs KD, +100 vs Posture Change).

This template has capped melee defence and ranged defence +112

he was saying hes capped Melee defense (125) and has 112 Ranged Defense , i think.

And when it comes to Defense stacking, the higher end mobs like Eldars have so much accuracy, that you arnt going to counterattack/be missed much if any. Master Brawler is a must in my opinion, Intim2 is amazing, the speed and accuracy mods are great, Warcry2 can help in PvP. And yes, you do definetly need Medic skills.

I personnaly used to be just a defense stacker b4 the NPC patch, and after that i woulkd last about 2mins against a hard NPC. so i changed my template down to just MSwords/MBrawler/Doc3040. this template allows u to cure all the states/bleeds that the higher end mobs use on ya, can use Stim Es when Eldars or pther NPCs get nasty Specials on you. When fighting, i take the SAME damage as when i was denfense stacked, yet now i can heal everything.

ReCurve

I'm pretty fond of my template...

MBrawler/MSwords/TKM/Fencer 4300 with novice Medic.

Great posture defence, great melee/ranged defence... and I can still switch to TKM when I need to deal damage quickly *cough* lousy kill stealers *cough*

Ooh eh sis.
|D][/\/\|D][/\/

melee and ranged def dont cap guys

trust me, when i had 206 melee defense, it was funny watching everyone miss lol

btw, your messing around with all these templates lol, its much more simple then your making it:

mbrawler/mswords/doc 4030

you wont have uber defenses, but you wont need them cuz of doc. have fun
