Master Brawler (for the mods and Parry Riposte - even though it's a drop in the bucket)
Master Swordsman (gotta have Master SOMETHING for the battle armor mits)
2100 TK (Power Boost and Adv CoB)
0003 Fencer (for Adv Bleed)
3330 Pike (for AOE KD, AOE damage attack, and Intim)
0040 Medic (since evidently I've heard it helps)

249SP Expenditure

First off, a friend wondered if bleeds actually worked past the first tick, and secondly - would it be just as effective with just 0330 Pike, since an AOE KD would pretty much be more decent in PvP than PvE?

If I could drop Fencer and 12SP for 3xxx Pike, I could use the 32 extra SP to pick up Novice Doctor plus more healing eff mods for wound heals (since that's really the only reason I have 4xxx TK now).

im a person who has to be level 80, even if it means i won't have as much speed/accuracy/defense

while i really do love your setup, and it's well thought out, your still not hitting 3,000 health =/

I haven't done it quite yet. I haven't "done" ground since pre-CURB, so the whole CL thing is still foreign to me.

And I just figured out that if I dropped Fencer altogether and sacrificed the bleed, and dropped Master Brawler, I could pick up Master Pikeman for Improved Intimidate. Besides, the only thing else useful in 0003 Fencer is binding strike, and seeing that CL80+ enemies seem to have near-infinite regeneration abilities, hampering them wouldn't be worthwhile - and I don't PvP, so there goes the usefulness there.

Thus, the new workup would be:

Brawler 4444
Master Swordsman
Master Pikeman
TK 2100
Medic 0040

246SP total expenditure, 1SP already in one step of FS Melee Speed.

My template is Masterswords 4004doctor 0100 TKA 0040 pikeman Master Brawler

I do extremely well and i'm only level 73, I do have +24 2hand accuracy +23 2hand speed +9 2hand melee defense +5 Genral melee speed. I think this template is good for not being a double master or close to one. Jedi are really not that tough anymore with my 7100energy battle armor and 75% armor break reduction. Its a great temp once you learn how to manage the heals. PVE i haven't done much, but i just soloed a few GDK's without a lvl 80 in my group.

P.S. I would also recommend that you at least have 2000 doc if your going to pvp with a melee template.

I have absolutely no interest in [ground] PvPing and this will remain so probably until I quit.

The most fun I had PvPing was my stint from Dec '03 to late Jan '04 as a Master Combat Medic, where I didn't even wear armor, walked around overt, and STILL had people decide it wasn't worth the junk I'd poison and disease them with to attack me.

I LOVED being a suicidal bioterrorist, and nothing I had on me was gonna decay or couldn't be readily replaced. I LOVED it.
