Need some advice on a PvE template. This will be pure PvE, with *maybe* the occasional friendly duel.
Here's what I've thought up so far.
Brawler 4/4/4/0
Medic 0/0/4/0
Fencer 4/4/4/0
Master Swords
TKA 4/4/0/4
Seems to give a decent amount of ranged and melee def., state defenses, Stim Use, and offensive capability.
Of course that's what I thought about with my last idea, until I realized that half the highend mobs I've been trying to fight end up having high defenses against energy/acid, and sometimes stun (was going for master rifleman, master ranger, and either marksman 4/0/0/4 or novice medic until I started doing Jantas, and seeing some Janta shamen with 60% to both energy and acid, plus being melee mobs I got hurt bad if they aggro'd me, and well conceal shot is just too bleepin slow to kill them), so I could be completely off base with this new idea =)
Any insights?

errr, to clarify I didn't think my last idea gave good defenses, I thought it was a good PvE idea until I realized...

if your going to heavily rely on melee to do your damage, i recommend mastering bralwer (intimidate 2, beserk 2, warcry 2, and the various lunge 2's are very usefull)]
you can drop the last box of med pharmocology (to make it 0-0-3-0 ) and still use decent stims, i think even at lvl 2 you can use d's or c's.
my template is:
master brawler
master swordsman
master fencer
4-0-0-2 tka
0-0-1-0 medic
and it works fairly well for pvp and pve alike, a nicely balanced template

depends on if a medic or doc makes the c's or d's. i have had some c' at lvl 5 and d's at 10, but those were doc made withlots of points in useage.

you're right about the medic - though i had one doc tell me he didn't craft D's only C's for level3 and E's for level4. someone else mentioned firstaid is nice for NS bleeds, but if you can use E's you're prolly ok.
I have a somewhat similar template - but with 24 points going to making money via my vendor holding all the crap the NS drop that is worth something to somebody if they stumble across it. and my plan is to swing some of this to scout once i get rid of some hologrind goods.
