Swordsman Archive

I just posted this in the rifleman forum, but I figured you guys would have some valueable advice too, let me know what you think.

So, I just got back to the game after not logging in for like 6 months. It didn't take me too long to figure out stuff like speeders, player cities and how good food is now, but I'm still finding out new stuff all the time.

Anyways, I only had about 2 1/2 boxes left till master rifleman, and I ground through those pretty quick, and have been enjoying going around and killing everything. Now I have to figure out what I want to do now that I've got master.

Right now here's my skills, I'm like 99% PvE

Master rifleman

Marksman 4004

Swordsman 0200

Master scout

Ranger 0040

Swordsman has been nice when things get to melee range (especially since I got most of my experience with the 2.5 melee penalty on rifles) And rangers cool too since I'm pretty much the only source of hides for my guild, and tracking is usefull. But I think it would be worth it to drop some ranger and scout skills, and get master marksman for the +5 to rifle speed. And if I'm going to drop some, I'll probably drop everything except for scout 0040 so I can still get a decent amount of hides. That'll let me pick up the master marksman, plus some other stuff.

And that's what I'm not sure on, I could get some more swordsman, although I don't think I'll have enough skill points left to master it. I could always say screw hides, drop scoutn completely and get master.

TKM are pretty impressive too. So maybe I could mix and match TK with sword, or maybe just get TKM instead.

Pretty much, I'm out of touch with the game, and besides being fairly certain I should get master marksman, I'm not sure what best compliments my new master rifleman skills. I'm open to any ideas, even crazy stuff I haven't thought of yet, MCH? DE? Chef?
