im a TKM/m.rifleman/m.brawler.
that combo is the best IMO, with basic armor[60% base] i was able to take down 6 people with elite professions, also i can tank and kill everything in SWG[ackley..krayts you name it].
get that combo before its nerfed..really:]

Am TK / Doc, its a fun combo, can Buff myself, make money from buffs, tank well as TKM (in 80% armor) , heal states like fire , poison, disease, cure wounds with meditate and stims 
hahaha,
Only problem i find is most things seem to have really high kinetic resists these days, so killing anything turns into a "long drawn out affair", and so regardless of what im killing i have to wear VK's to get AR1 although most bit mobs have AR2, AR3 armor, and then even higher kinetic resist, its hard.
Sometimes wish i had another damage type, Most peoples armor has 80% kinetic, ok so yeah if i can get in close theyre down on the floor, but then its a battle of time between my HAM bars killing them, and me attacking the OTHer persons HAM bars, which will go down first ...

Just curious. If you have no medic, you obviously can't heal yourself. How do you solo krayts unless it's bleed, bike, bleed, bike ...etc which any prof with bleed/poison can do, or conceal shot -- which again --any master rifleman can do irrespective of their other professions?
I am interested because I'm a rifleman/TKM too, and I have never even attempted a krayt solo.

Hey guys and gals.....
Been gone a while (two months) but before I left I mastered TKA and Rifleman (and a bunch of others but I ketp tka and rifles).
Basically I did Rifleman for PVP - I hated kiters and a 64m Deathblow is wicked.
I have done all the ranged professions (minus bounty hunter).
And I LOVE TKA.
I come back and read all these patch notes about Warcry being a form of "crowd control" - so basically KD + WC2 does not keep your opponent on the ground for 20 + seconds anylonger (does not bother me KD + Dizzy works better). But makes me wonder how much things have actually changed?
Seems EVERYONE I know is going TKA / Rifle or TKA / Combat Medic.
All the people I don't know (they see me with master TKA over my head and a T21 in my hands) look at me and say "o you're the flavor of the month" (funny cause I have had both titles for three months now).
My question is this...(and I want to hear from masters not someone fighting kreetles on tatooine)
What is the best TKA profession combo from your experience?
From what I have seen (from myself and others)...
TKA / Doc = awsome buffing yourself but the grind to doc makes me cry (is the doc grind that bad?).
TKA / Rifleman = I can solo anything short of a krayt dragon
TKA / Swords = kited in PVP way too much but awsome on PVE?
TKA / Fencer = kited in PVP way too much but awsome ok PVE?
TKA /Pikeman = Thought this was a bad template till I saw someone in the Geo cave killing everything that moved?
TKA / Smuggler = personally I dropped smuggler out of bordom 
TKA / Commando - not bad in PVP and is a PVE god (at least prepatch 7)?
TKA / Carbineer = "hey guys watch me kill myself"!!!!!
TKA / Pistoleer = not bad, lacks in randged damage but makes up for it in defences (at least it did)?
TKA / Combat Medic = is this even possible to master both (skill points)?
Thanks in Advance

Actually what is really hard to overcome is Anything+doctor+a double shot of +428 brandy+muon high. For those 10-30 minutes you are a god in PvP.

I am TKM/Master Rifle, Fencer 0-4-4-0, Novice Medic. I must say that I only lose to maybe 1-4 people on my server, and them being other TKM/Rifle/Fencer templates. I am within the defensive cap of 125, and my Def vs states are high thanks to the added Fencer lines. Plus I can use COB and dodge from Fencer when need be. I can't say there is a better template than this, even after the nerf to defensive stacking. I can powerboost, meditate poison/disease, DB from long range, FOW, solo an AT-ST....you name it. I can fight unbuffed and still own. I was reluctant to drop more Fencer for Novice Medic, but it has come in handy. The ability to take someone's mind pool in like 4 shots is amazing, and negates the effectiveness of being Master Doc. I can always buy buffs.

No. CM/Doctor/Medic by far the easiest of the grinds to do I think.

Not really anymore so than if you were just a TKA.

Not really anymore so than if you were just a TKA. All the elite melee profession have an area attack.
TKA / Smuggler = personally I dropped smuggler out of bordom
Hmm I did the same lol.
TKA / Commando - not bad in PVP and is a PVE god (at least prepatch 7)?
Definately used to be the premier PVE GOD...... But yeah after the flame dot nerf... not so anymore. PVP? Used to be tricky being truly effective in PVP.... but now after flame dot nerfs.... I just don't think so. Other than the flamer never really had any weapons that work well in PVP. Acid rifle? no, grenades? a joke, heavy weapons? be lucky to hit anyone. KD2/FlameSingle2 is still a deadly 1 - 2 hit kill usually though.
TKA / Carbineer = "hey guys watch me kill myself"!!!!!
Hmmmm yeah... I wouldn't count this one out yet though.
TKA / Pistoleer = not bad, lacks in randged damage but makes up for it in defences (at least it did)?
Yeah kind of my sentiments too.
TKA / Combat Medic = is this even possible to master both (skill points)?
No. But you can get some of the better parts of TKA. Rifleman / Combat medic is a far better way to go.
Thanks in Advance

I am a Pistoleer/Rogue/TKAM (yet again, after being Doc/TKA for a while) and it is very good. I am not saying it is the best, but it does give options. Grab the new geo pistol, and then do lowblow followed by 1 million fanshots (might as well hit them all) It could also be that I enjoy Pistoleer too much. But it is my choice, forever. Plus, it solves Fencer beats TKA situation. When kneeling/dizzied, just switch to the geo pistol.
One sad note is that the template got weakened when Panicshot/Warcry was changed. Before, with an FWG5 of 300+, I would LowBlow, Panic, Spam Last Ditch while I walked up to them, apply dizzy, and finished it off.
I was almost a Master Rifleman/TKA, but when dead to a CM or other rifleman, and you exist the cloner, ur mind is gonna be low due to enc. and loss of mind buffs.

i forgot to say that im novice medic aswell, i can stand krayts toe to toe.
IMO master rifle/TKM/brawler[or fencer0/4/4/0]is just great, you wont die in pvp unless your fighting another rifleman or bounty hunter spaming eyeshot, commandos will hardly hit you, same deal with heavy swordman and low accurate professions, even if you get ganged up you can land kd/dizzy and move on to the next target till they are all biting the dust then switch to the jawa/t21 and blast there mind, i did that today when i got ganged up on dantooine, killed many rebels and made 400 faction points
