Swordsman Archive

I'm currently master swordsman (and loving it) However I want to improve my PVP skills. My template is Master Brawler, Master Swordsman, Fencer 3,3,3,0 and Medic skills. I was wondering wether it would be a wise choice to go

for carbineer 0,0,4,0 for the ability to stack my Counterattack, would it be worth my skill points? would I get capped for counterattack halfway up the carbineer branch? does it really help in a PVP fight anyway?

AnySuggestions will be greatly appreciated!

it works well for me. i use master swordsman/brawler with master carbineer, and the ranged mit 3 lets me solo an at-st in about a minute. for pvp, i'm not sure. carbineer takes a lot to be effective there.

My template over the past summer was:

Master Swords,

Master Brawler

TKA 4-0-0-0

Fencer 2-0-4-0

Carbineer 0-0-2-0

Medic 1-0-0-0

(yes i know this template sucks thank you)

anyways, yes the extra counterattack helps BUT YOU CAP COUNTER ATTACK AT 125. so all you have to get in carbineer is the first box, the rest wont help. to tell you the truth i went the above template because i would have 75 defense vs intimidate, which sounded sweet (but i soon found out that defense vs. intim doest work).

i suggest you go pistoleer 0-0-4-0 or something like that to compliment swordsman. you still get mitigation but you get awesome state defense mods.

btw counterattack is fairly cheap and common, so it wouldnt be to hard to get the skill attachments to cap it.

p.s. i destroyed pretty much everyone i ever ran into with that template in pvp, even though it sucks, so you might wanna give yours a try just to see if you like it, and if not go something else. its not about cramming as much possible stats into a template to me as it is having a template you like

i believe you have 110 counter attack at master Swords (not on SWG atm) so picking up carbineer just for counterattack is kinda silly. however like the others have been saying, ranged mitigation is great for PvE and PvP. I currently use 0/0/4/0 pistoleer in my tetmplate, for the mitigation and defences. Also having the ability to pull single targets from 60m with prone dot shots is always great if your a nightsister junkie. hope this helps
