Thread: Is master swordsman/master pikeman a good combo?
)? area sweep then area attack 3 to stick a dizzy on them. now take your time as they flop and flail trying to get up dizzy. the HAM cost on the weapons are high, but you're a swordsman, you're used to that.
I dont think adding the two worst combat professions, make them any better. I don't see why you would do it. If you love sword or pike then get fencer or TKA to get you some defenses. But, youll have less defense than with those two masters than a master pistoleer.
this is true, we are not uber. right now, my current template is master brawler/pikeman/swordsman, 4/0/0/3 tka, novice medic. if i were to drop either sword or pike, and master tka and get 4/0/0/0 in fencer, i'd be a much better tank. as it is, i actually enjoy being a pikeman and a heavy swordsman. i have plenty of fencers and tka's in my guild, and i notice that when we get swarmed by mobs, i'm the one that takes everyone out. doing mokk missions on dantooine for 26k a pop, tka's and fencers will have a harder time than a pikeman. they're used to going at things one on one. i can clear it out in under 2 minutes, including the lair. and this is with 4-6 mokks coming after me. fencers can do it, as they rarely get hit if they stack enough melee defense and dodge mods, but it takes them quite some time. tka's have to get lucky and dizzy/kd every mob before they get taken out.
so, try it. see if you like it. i was a pikeman before i was a swordsman. i knew the profession was borked, but i wanted to do it for a change of pace. there weren't too many of them around, andi like being different.
