Swordsman Archive

Ok guys, downloaded one of those calc's for templates after adding got too tedious. Anyhow, Ive been trying to get a good swordsman template, this is what I came up with (if counter attack works correctly anyhow)

0/0/4/0 Brawler (for swordsman of course)

0/0/4/0 Marksman

0/0/4/0 Carbineer (counter attack and defences)

Master Swordsman

Master Medic (for doc)

0/3/4/0 Doc (allows for self buffs)

Ok, with this template (if counterattack works, which we think it doesnt right now) I dont have to rely on docs to buff me, I can wear effectiveness sliced composite armor, +190 counterattack mod, +40 Kd defence, +50 Stun defence, Melee migation 3, Ranged migation 2, +10 def blind, +45 def intimidate, +20 melee def (weak i know, but hopefully counterattack would make up for it)

If counterattack doesnt work, drop marksman and go 4/0/0/4 in teras kasi for meditate (wounds/poisons/powerboost and force of will), this will drop 80 counterattack mod but add melee defence +82 and +60 ranged defence.

All that being said, if counterattack works, then i think carbine's defence line is the way to go. Most people say it doesnt work, so tka med/defence linemight be the best bet till counterattack skill is fixed/defined clearly. Least this template has a heavy hitter with kenetic and blast damage, self buffs, and should be a good tank char.

Please let me know your opinions guys

190 counterattack is surprisingly good, but it cant compare to 80 counter attack and 150 melee defense or so if you had no marksman or carbineer and just precision striking (TK 0004) and fencer 4000

Yea but if i did that, the fencer thing, I wouldnt have enough points to self buff myself... relying on a doc to buff sucks, especially if i want to wear good composite armor...hehe Although the bonus to melee/ranged would be friggen awesome.

well i got an idea for you, get 4-0-4-0 in medi cso u can heal with stim d's and heal bleeds while fighting very well, and instead of doc pick up the meditation line. u can self buff anytime, not as much granted, but then u also get easy access to the precision striking line for the defense.

also u can heal wounds /poison /disease

Well Powerboost from TKA is good as APEist_theReb stated, but the fact why you want doctor buffs is not often for HA. It's for the secondaries. If your attacks drain no HAM and you can regenerate really fast you survive for quite some time. PB only increases HAM so I'd reccomend to get doctor. Sure, it might be good to get 4000 tka also but to me, I'ts not worth it.
