I have a character who is currently a master swordsman, master tka, master brawler, with pikeman 0400, and medic 0020, and some force sensitive skills. I found that if I change form master tka to master pikeman, and get tka 0004, and fencer 0004, and drop medic i can increase my accuracy considerably and increase my defenses, speed will not be affected at all. Will this increase my damage output? I've been told that loosing medic will be the death of me, but I've soloed without medic skills and have never had a problem before... so how true is that statement? I've also been told without improved center of being that i will have problems to, but I was in a pvp fight the other day and improved center of being didn't do a damn thing.. i kept getting knocked down. Currently my average hit is from the high 300's to the high 400's, if i use critical attack or power attack I can get in the 800's to sometimes (and i mean rarely) low 1000's. Is this all I can expect from a master swordsman? Can anyone give me advice plz? Thanks

COB has nothing to do with KD. COB adds 500 to your defense, making your switches in your temp for defense not worth it. it basically cuts damage in half, and you should have it on ALWAYS. i have a macro for it. Currently my average hit is from the high 300's to the high 400's, if i use critical attack or power attack I can get in the 800's to sometimes (and i mean rarely) low 1000's. i was using a PH last night in pve and did that much (900-1000 dam)toa lvl 90 Death Watch Ghost, either you need a better weapon, or i dunno. you should also always have armor break on. Is this all I can expect from a master swordsman? Can anyone give me advice plz? Thanks
losing medic for pikeman is not worth it IMO. medic is like giving more lives, at some poiints it can be like 25 times as long alive as with no heals. what were you fighting that you did 800 damage to?

I agree with the statement about not having medic being the death of you, If you solo any high lvl guys. If you only do group PVE then you might be able to get away with no healing. I am M/swords. TKM. M/Brawler, medic 0330, the rest in FS pts. and I do very well. In DWB if we have no jedi with us I am doing the tanking. With a NK sword I hit for about 900 dmg on guys my own lvl, if I put on AB then around 1200. I don't use power hit because of the long warm up and action to dmg ratio is not very good. use head hit and critical and melee strike. Also COB has nothing to do with KD, it only increases your defense by 500 so you get hit for less dmg. There is nothing wrong with increasing your accuracy or defense, but I wouldn't do it at the cost of losing healing. If you never solo or PVP then it won't affect you as bad. But this is just my opinion. You need to choose what fits your play style best.

i have almost exact same build as the OP except no medic and 0440 pike and i love it so far tried various other combos but by far this is my favorite . i disagree about that you must have medic skill just use ruby bile and some 1000 stim D's and i have been good at soloing alot of things and pvp.

Other Person. Ruby Bliel is great but it cuts the time you can use a simpak form 45 secs to 30 secs and most high lvl guys will hit you for more then 1k dmg in 30 secs. But it is really up to your play style the others guys template works great for him and thats good. IMO healing is a must for PVP and soloing anything above lvl 84, but thats just me I'm not saying that with the right tatics you can't beat high lvl guys but without heals your chances go down allot.

I agree with both of your opinions. I have asked many other people to get an idea and they all say the same thing u both did. I am just getting into the whole pvp thing.. so this is all kind of new. Is there any defense against KD? The pvp fight i got into consisted of me getting KD more than 4 times. It was kind of frustrating try to fight on my back. Any ideas on how to avoid getting KD?

You can get skill tapes for def against it, but it shouldn't be a problem, just do KD recovery ( Brawler Skill) use a low sac weapon so you have action left to do the KD recovery.
