Thread: Advice for all Melee Novice Swordsman

Hello folks.

I have been a Master Rifleman/TKM/Fencer 0440 for sometime. I have grown tired of the template, as well as the Rifle spam and abundance of Riflemen.

I fell in love with Fencer and Mastered that this weekend. I am thinking of dumping Rifleman to go all melee. Was thinking Blademaster/Master Swordsman/TK4404 and Nov medic, Or Maybe the Triple master of Blademaster/MHS/TKM.

I am a heavy PVPer, and realize people think I'm crazy for dumping Rifle, but the idea of all melee is interesting to me.

Question is, how do you guys fare with no ranged mitigation? And is Novice Medic crucial to you? I have had it and not, but never in a melee tanking situation. The idea of 3 Master Melee professions is exciting to me.

Anyway, just some advice please? Swordsman looks fun.

Thanks.

if you PVP all the time it would be unwise, pretty much a Rifleman will smoke you cause of poor ranged migration, but i tend to think ranged migration only works if your using a ranged weapon that ties with the migration.. not 100% sure but thats from what ive seen

i was Pike 0040, MSwords, TKM and had no problom soloing anything that i fought with melee, but my build vs ANYTHING with heavy HAM and Damage i got smoked, bah with that build up there i could do NS Elder with ease, but yet i couldnt beat that Panzy Lord NYM with a lil 57k HAM. Decide for yourself, try out different stuff its the only way to figure it out

This a very good combo as it is my same combo , and i have no medic and PVP every day and am very good in PVP to , but i do have master bralwer in stead of tkm so my template is , MHS Blademaster , master bralwer , tka4304 , no medic are scout


I am quite good in PVP and have on problems against rifle man im alway buffed , on food and have 80% comp with 39% stun helmet , in PVP lately most rifleman have died to me and so have other melee profession ,


so id say go with this template it is very good but keep your COB on all the time in PVP as when blademaster it is very hard to hit me , i usely lunge 2 then dizzy them and switch to my PH and hit there mind this is quite easy and a fun template and i can kill Lord Nym quite easly

Thanks for the advice so far. CommandoBob, yeah I was rethinking maybe I should get Master Brawler too in addition to MHS/Blademaster and TK 4403, no medic. I can be buffed and armored, but the no medic will hurt me when I'm in a base raid or defense, if I die, and don't have time to rebuff.
