Im not Trying to Flame or anything but.... Anyone Notice how strong a Swordsmen with some doc and mixed tk/fencer is... Im a MBH/MRIFLES soppose to do alot of damage vs ranged but if I fight someone with a template like that... Not only miss alot because he gets close to me but when I hit him.. i do 200-300damage with advanced critcal shot and Impoved Headshot.. Which sense he has enough doc to heal plenty(Especialy after Publish 19 comes) I will never be able to incap him. (Im using a puped 1321damage Rifle) But besides the defense... with a PH he can hit me arrround 800 damage - 1300 damage with arrmor break... Just a question I thought Rifles and swordmen were soppose to both be strong but it seams swordsmen with a good PH and Improved Cob will always dominate a ranged person 1vs1 even if theres root he can just take the hits... Ive tested this on several melee people on Shadowfire.
Anyone think this is slighly over powered? PvP wise

I've never hit someone for 800-1300 dmg... EVER.
I usually hit around 400-500 tops with armor break on. I think maybe you're not running Dualist Stance or wearing armor...?

Well we should be able to survive long enough to get within melee range, which is now almost impossible with roots and nerfed lunge so I wouldn't worry to much about our defenses. We can stay alive longer but as ranged you can keep us out of range with not a lot of trouble.

I've been holding off on my token respec for just that reason. I know I can dish it out and have been crafting a pure melee template in order tobuild a great Jedi. The problem is that I've been no good at soloing high end content. NPCs like Gorax, NSElders,the Kwis from the Geo Cave,Ancient Rancorsand Kryat Dragons have been too difficult to handle, eventhough they are level 82+.
Then I read that MBH/MRifles or Pistols, etc... can solo it all.That root ability is prime.
My template is MBrawler/MPike/MSwords with the rest in TK. I'm wanting to respec to a pure ranged templete but...
So I still don't know.

Hi, my template is Master Brawler / M TKA / M Swords /, i find that i can hit for around 800 almost constantly, if not more. However, without good food, and a good burst run timing, RANGED always dominate with there snares and roots. Us melee profs may be able to take the hits, but we can only take so much, and if we cant even get to the player we might as well have 100 hitpoints to save both of us the time of waiting for me to die.
