yay! I made swordsman and to celebrate drew this cool renidition of my character and his shiny new speed-sliced power hammer:
www.illicit-velocity.com/apprentice.jpg
so far this job has been a blast... SO much more dmg than fencer and not that much slower. now I wonder what i should augment swordsman with...
right now i have 3 ideas: (this is for pve BTW i havnt even attempted pvp)
1) tried and true master swdsman/ master doc (i honestly dont know if i have the patience to find good resources for buff ingredients, but self-buffing would rule because i prefer to play solo)
2) defensive melee template: master swdsman/master brawler/ 4-0-0-0 fencer/4-3-0-0TK/3-0-0-0scout/2-0-0-0medic ( i have my doubts about whether this is worth it or not. Does the melee cap of 125 really help that much? It seems to me that a decent buff is more important that defense...but I havnt tried it so i dont know.
3) master swdsman/ master CH (this is what i originally wanted sicne the CH job seems very cool. however... i dunno if you guys have been to the CH forum but lemmie tell ya... its a grim place. apparently the job has been nerfed to oblivion and everyone finds it useless. Shame...
any ideas welcome!

My template is almost identical to #2, give or take a few trees. I love having defence against KD around 100. TKs hate me cuz they cant knock me down as often as they like and if they do I can get up fairly quickly. The same applies for PvE for KD. Even without a buff you can survive where others fall much more quickly.
MHS/Doc is a very common template so I assume it is good. Ive never been a CH so I can't really comment on it.

i have master brawler, master swordsman, 4/3/0/4 tka, novice fencer, and master polearm defense (0/0/4/0), i'm working on getting 2/4/4/0 fencer, and that will leave me with 1 skillpoint left over. it seems to work quite well for me.

You could also go Master sword, master brawler 0/3/4/0 doc.

My current plan is Master Swords/ Master Brawler, TKA 4/3/0/4, Fencer 0/0/4/0 ( I hate dizzy) , Medic 4/0/4/0 ( can heal up to 2k in one shot).

im currently Master Heavy Swordman and Novice Doctor. Working on fencer 4/4/4/3 for the defenses. ill have a total of +89 melee defense and +84 ranged when im done plus 75 defense vs. KD. this is gonna be my high-end mob template. currently with just M. swords i can solo a nightsister protector with no problem.
and also with novice doc i can clear states like dizzy and intimidated which comes in handy when those mean nightsisters start beating me up

Master carbine / Master sword / scout 3000 / medic 3230.
Nice defenses, ranged damage and stateeffects (nice when the try to run and you knock them down with charge shot, close the gap and decapitate them). Ranged mitigation 3, makes a huge difference with people shooting at you. That level of medic means I can use stim C's to heal over 1K per heal and I can pop one about every 3 seconds.
I love terrain negotiation, don't know if I can live without that. On Dath it makes combat and traveling so much better, and I can harvest for some serious creds when the right thing spawns.
