Nice to hear... hopefully we'll be fixed someday but stick with it.

1) ALAKHAZAMS SWG site has a list of ALL the trainers.

2) I recomend getting mitigation or OFFENSE fist.. AOES help you kill more things at one time (and you get more toughness) go up to a lair and AOE till your standing on heaps of corpses (dont forget to heal)

3) Go for curved swords fist... the quicker you hit that 1 attack per second speed cap the better off you are... dont even touch powerhamer till your a master (you wont hit anything and the ham cost will kill you with a wasted hit)

4) our bleed WERE hlpful... dont waste the HAM on using them now. I also recomend some sort of ranged weapon (carbines for counter attack )... LUNGE 1 the very first speacial you get will help with the NPCS that run away and try to kite you. ALSO Nothing helps a Melee like THE MEDITATION TREE from teras kasi (med 2 for powerboost med 4 so you never have to heal wounds again)

Hope that helps

Heres my template to give you an idea about my ideas here

MASTER SWORDSMAN- TKA 4004- carbineer 0242- medic 4040
Also a helpful too for noobs is the skill calculator at:

1. Go here. http://swg.stratics.com/content/gameplay/atlas/trainers.php?id=390

2. I would go with Techniques line first for speed. Im not too sure about whichline to go with next. In the Defense line you get Melee Mitigation 1 and 2 but in the Offense tree you get the Area attacks which are good for raking in the xp.

3. I suggest staying with the Curved Sword until you hit Master. I go for speed slices on all my weapons. Before Publish 6 I had a Damage sliced PH for applying bleeds, but bleeds are kinda worthless now.

As for the Templates, either one would be good. With the MS/MR/Medic you canhit the target'smind pool from afar then switch to your melee weapon when it get in close. Im a Master Swordman/ Doctor and can tell you this is a great combo. One suggestion I would make though is to pick up Master Brawler, especially if you plan on PvP'ing.

Hey would MS/MB/TKm be a good combo w/ some medic? I plan on dropping CH once I master it in 2 more boxes.

Id go with something else than TKm but that depends on what u want to kill in the game, for pvp TKm is good but id loose the SM (im a SM an proud of it) for mobs id take the meditation tree from TKA and go with a ranged proff or fencer for the migitation stagging and dodge... im currently master heavy swordsman master brawler and 1-4-3-4 fencer (on my way up the fencer tree) and i solo anything on dath except elders, protectors are no problem at all!

so id deside what your goal is first before going for the TKA / swordsman
