I am grinding for MBH/MSwordsman. I have already heard the na-sayers; I'm looking for input from anyone who has tried this template. Any info on tatics and what skills to couple with this would be nice.

that would be an interesting template. with only 23 skill points left over, you wouldn't have enough for any doctor or cm.that would make it necessary to hit hard and fast, if you where after a jedi. it seems to me that youcouldget this template to work, you would just have to catch the mark offguard and get a few good hits in to take him down. (isn't it hard to sneak up on jedi without some rifleman, though?)


this wouldprobably be a betterplaced in the bounty hunter forumn. you might get some flames for trying to be a melee bh, but i for one applaud your attempt at adifferent template. when i get back to the game in december, i'm going to mess around with my respec and try some melee bh templates too.

Jedi dont run from someone holding a PH cause they just know they are not a BH. I'm hoping for the eliment of supprize to stick a nice armor break/kd and run out of range of em. My initial idea was to get novice carbs as they should allow for me to get out of range of the Jedi attacks. Dont know how affective this will be but I'll give it a shot.

Although im generally pro jedi, hearing this was good enough to comment...even a little. Never looked at the numbers for the template, but see if you can pick up some tk for imp cob and kd, or some pikeman for the states....just an idea....But cool template, lol

I checked. I can only get 1 novice of a ranged or melee profession and nothing more. Kinda limiting but may be better spent in FS skills.

I took a little time to think about this template idea. The things I didn't like was the fact that you had no healing and a swordsman is no match for a jedi without having healing. The real big perk from swordsman is armor break. that's a no-brainer. But other than that you don't really gain a lot from a solely swordsman based melee offense. So I figured this template as a minimum has to revolve around MBH/Swordsxx3x. Took a few minutes to see what I could add to that and this is what I came up with.


MBH/Swordsxx3x/CM4x14


I don't think this would be cl 80 but that really doesn't matter in pvp. You've got your healing but more importantly you have your delay in paralyze, plus all the debuffs to help keep you alive. The element of surprise when walking up with a sword will only last soo long til word gets around the jedi circle. When I have more time i'll put a little more thought into it, but it's interesting to say the least.

This tempelte is good if you can use it propaly. DO NOT DROP MASTER SWORDSMAN UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH. The reason why is because without Master Swordsman you wont do alot of dmg, Master Defenders Master Saber u prop get killed mainly for the fact that u wont hae heals, but u can use stims for that , also pick up novice medic and one of the cm heals and use the enhancer thatll help ya greatly. with that swords ull be doing about 1k dmg to non defenders, and iff they have force armor on its over before it started, but i would suggest doing this tempelte mainly for the fact that you will Center Of Being(Lower COB) which will be 250 defense points which is nice combined with Duelist Stance ull have 250 Defense Points altogether. The Master Swords will allow you two things that BH need back but most dont realize.......1.The Element Of suprise(BHs stop using this along time ago and jedi are almost instantly on you) 2.Alot of DMG DEALING meaning very good things for you =D

more power to ya

ive been toying with this same thing now that npc missions should drop good loot

it is well known that swordsmen are the alpha loot people. so it makes sense to transition into the MBH loot.

hopefully it will work. you need master swordsman, but for PvP (jedi) you need better CoB. man i need more skill points. hmm, maybe all master swordsmen shoud get +50 sp?

This whole thing actually touches on something i mentioned on the TK and brawler forum about wishing there was a melee version of BH. Would be really nice to open up the BH terminals to non ranged characters. (yes i know it can be done and done melee but you sacrifice a TON)
