I know swordsman is REALLY good for PVE with the right equips of course but the thing is I am almost master with TKA. I really dont want to have to grind another profession because at this moment I dont have much money for weapons and armor etc. So what I am asking you in a PVE enocounter are is tka decent compared to swordsman or does swordsman blow TKA away?

Swordsman is hella better in PvE and when speed capped Teh Win in PvP.
But do what you like first.
If you like Swords, then before dropping TKA, do a reb/imp theme park and get a grooved two handed sword. and also go do the geo caves and get some good bones and get a good PH made also get the loots you need for a good scythe. Taht way you have everything you need to grind quick and be deadly before even starting two handed.

Seriously...I believe my current template of Master Swordsman / Master Doctor / 1000 Scout is the best PVE combination currently available.

I believe mine is a bit better in PvE 
Master rifleman (96 speed from tapes)
Master brawler
Master swordsman
1/0/0/0 medic
With decent stim Bs you don't need anything over novice med really, and with both rifle and swords you get alot of extremely deadly damage types and abilities. I can bring down packs of NS rangers/initiates/outcasts before they even reach me, and the rest (which is usually half dead by the timeit gets to me) I just cleave with my scythe

Just wait until Nightsisters start applying states and using Force Attacks again...ora Krayt Dragon intimidates you....or you get a huge nasty disease or poison....etc.

Swordsman is best done by rich people, or people with an abundance of 2h speed tapes sitting around. Without speed tapes swordsman isn't much better than a TKA, other than the fact that a swordsman can do blast damage in addition to kinetic.

This is the key!! Only doing kenetic suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!! Having the extra damage type far outweighs anything tkm can provide.

even at 0404 swordsman damage output is FAR more than that of a TKM against mobs with medium or heavy armor. I used to run around as a tkm and a 0404 swordsman and I assure you, a krayt dragon or pack of NS fall much more quickly to a 0404 swordsman than they do to a TKM.

may i ask why doc at all? to buff or heal yourself? or just to use cure states and cure poisons....
if so, u would think u would do cm instead so u could poison things etc. to me, that would outweigh any poison/disease u may get.
