Hi all.
I am new to the Swordsman profession, and was wondering about what to put with it for the best possible combo for both PVP and PVE.
I wanted Swordsman for PVE, so I thought I could put Master Fencer with it for PVP, and 2.0.4.4 Pistoleer for extra defences, and Novice Medic to heal myself.
Is this a good idea or not? Please help me out!

In my opinion, the best swordsman profession is one that has master brawler in it. Master brawler is a must for anyone really serious about being a swordsman. The exception to this is swordsman that are also master docs.

My current template is master swords/teras kasi master/master brawler/fencer 2-0-0-0/pikeman 0-0-0-2/ medic 1-0-0-0...
This is a pretty good tank but also has some pikes accuracy for my 2 mind poisen lances which complement scalp slam very well
has all you need for PVE and works out for me in pvp very well. I cant seem to give up TKM cause it comes in handy soo much for me.

master swordsman (of course)
master brawler
tka 4-0-0-3
fencer 4-4-4-0
medic 2-0-4-0
awesome defense.
stim c's for 800-1000 average heal.
awesome fencer area attacks for pvp- area dizzy and blind.
combined with swordsman posture down attacks.... ownage, in pve at least.
intimidate 2... priceless, for pve and pvp. lunge 2, priceless for pvp.
warcry 2, usefull when ur outnumbered and on ur own in pvp.
thats it
but thats not my tempalte unfortunately. mine is still fairly awesome, and very unique, but it fails in one of the most important parts of the template. cant say what tho hehe.
dont care ill still whoop anyone with or wihtout this template

Well I'm a master swordsman/master brawler/teras kasi master/ 3 4 0 0 fencer/ novice medic. Awesome for PvE. As for PvP, yeah it's good cuz of defense stacks and medium ap weapons with swordsman... not to mention I have a ... special weapon I use for pvp...

Pretty much what I am at the moment...apart from the fact I need to give up artisan and ditch my vendor and get meditate 4 back (I miss it!).
I dont do PvP but guess if fencer is that good ill give it a go again soon.
You can ditch artisan and still keep your vendor. It's a bug artisans have been trying to fixed forever. You can have full control over it just as if you had business III +. I needed a vendor, so that's what i did. I ground till Business III, got a vendor, then dropped it all and I use it everyday.

I agree with getting Master Brawler -
My templete is : Master Brawler - Master Fencer - Master Swordsman - TK 4/3/0/4
I'm still thinking of playing around with TK - to possible add Medic - but I have to see.

I've never felt the need for master brawler...
Instead I took pistoleer 0-0-4-0 for the Ranged Mitigation II and the +50 def vs. KD.
So my template is Master TKA, Master HS, Pistoleer 0-0-4-0, Medic 0-0-4-0 (I'm speed capped).

I was almost positive primary defenses (mitigation, dodge, toughness) don't work unless you have the weapon equipped at the time. Are you switiching weapons as you fight, has this changed, or is mitigation not a primary defense anymore?

the two temps i use are
Master Swordsman
Master Fencer
Master Brawler
TKA 4/3/04
Everyone goes out hunting with buffs or pvp's with buffs, so medic isn't my concern. Plus having an alt as a Doc doesn't hurt either 
My second temp is a lot better then my first but uses some key foundations. Not many people have figured my new temp out, but its a beauty.
*EDIT*
Forgot the most important part. To be uber at pvp and pve it also depends greatly on the equipment you use. Having speed and defense maxed as well as awesome pvp armor and uber weapons leads to being great in pvp. You have to think about poisons, fires, disease, bleeds and all that too.

I dont see why people get 4xxx in TKA and novice medic. If you need to heal with a def stacker template and buffs then you are just prolonging your death, not preventing it. But im not one too talk I am a Swordsman/Doc so i can heal myself lol.
