I am thinking of going Master Rifles/Master Swords over Master Carbs/Master Swords.
Anyone ever use any of these combos that give me a heads up on what works?

Well, I'm MS, MB, Rifle 2004 and the one thing I can say about having a ranged mind HAM attack is that it complements Swordsman nicely.Just a thought...

Im a Master Swordsman grind for Master Rifleman. Currently I am 4/0/0/4 in rifleman. Not sure how this will work but being able to shoot something from 60m away the T21, then pulling out the scythe/hameer to finish it off sounds good to me. I dont believe you get allot of defenses, but Swords/Rifles are damage dealers...not TKM. SO I think it will be pretty good, even for PvP.

I am Master Swords/Master Rifles, and I think its a pretty good template. It doesnt really go much good to use a sword and a rifle on one opponent, but its good because you get an extra 3 damage types with rifleman(energy, acid, STUN). Also I use rifles for PvP and Sword for PvE.

I've recently dropped doc and taken up rifles. The grind for rifles was fun and took maybe 15 hours (a little under twice the swords grind). I've been on a few krayt hunts and did well on them. for hunting NS its great to be able to shoot at them from far away and kill sentinels, rangers, outcasts, initiates befour they get to you. Its also nice to draw a single spell weaver or protector from a group using ranged attacks and then killing them when they get close with swords. next grind will be for master brawler to add some speed/defence to my build. already speedcapped with rifles and loving it. so yea... rifles/swords is pretty good 
cant heal myself or buff myself now really but its still fun

Master Rifleman and Swordsman is a good combo. As far as the defense problem, you could do some fencer to correct that.

ATM im master rifles/ master swords...Its a decent template...Little low on the defense but iff you dont plan on PvPing alone you will be fine in that area.As for PvE you will OWN it...Jants missions take me all of 1 minutes to finish..

/2hand AOE3 when they run up on you...
PvP i rarely pull out my swords but maybe thats cause my rifles are better...But swords also does some heavy dmg..Considering you can attack the mind pool with both for the time being its a decent combo in pvp too....And yeah grinding swords goes MUCH faster than rifles...which is painfully slow

tyessak47, I am sorry to inform you, but you need to work on your reading comprehension. He said (a little under twice the swords grind). This means that it was twice the time it took to grind through swordsman, minus a little bit. I.E. 8/10ths of x 2 the time it took to grind swords.
If you have trouble reading, try reading what you are reading twice over before accusing someones comments as jokes.

I am currently a Master Rifleman, Master Marksman, and TKM (plus 1000 Medic). I never use unarmed tactics while fighting (though I never PvP either). Basically, I use TKM for the meditate line and the defenses in the xxx4 line.
I was considering dropping Master Marksman and going Master Rifleman, Master Swordsman, and 4004 TKA,as the Swordsman class is a bit more nifty IMO. Acouple of things are holding me back, however:
1)By dropping Master Marksman I'll lose the valuable +5 to Rifle Speed. This is the biggest potential deal-breaker.
2)My favorite weapon in the Swordsman profession (I was a Master Swordsman around X-Mas time on another server) is the curved sword. I don't mind the He-Man-esque Sword either (can't recall the name of it 
) or the Scythe. However, I can't stand the other Weapons: Powerhammer, Axes, etc. So essentially, to get the most out of the profession, I would not be able to use the most appealing weapon to me.

I am still molling it over, but I amas yetundecided.
