its up to you to dabble in it, Tkm is mainly a defensive profession, offense as just a tkm is a tad weak. Master Swordsman really helps out, ive done the double master with doc, ive done triple melee master, tkm while it has CoB and Innate Armor, is still offensively weak and lacks the animations it once had, now with swords you will amplify your damage and using those moves you can be a 0400 tka and do more damage then a master tk, i know this cause i and currently in between templates, regrinding tk for the third time lmao, and using swords moves takes my moves up about 300+ damage a hit, and im only 0422 tka, hehe, there are ways around low damage, and we are now finding these ways out, my advice to you is to get tkm swords and doc 4000 for heals very important for fighting ranged cause of root and high damage profs like rifleman who play well and can keep distance, buy yourself some crates of rakirian burnout sauce to increase your unarmed damage, and a bandolier with +18 unarmed damage, they are Bio Clothes, about 25-50k very helpful, with those two things and either a katarn knuckler or the Necrosis Nightblade you should be able to do about the same amount of damage as a swordsman master with a faster speed, and a lower SAC which will help you greatly, not to mention your defense is unparalled in the non jedi world hehe goo dluck

Ty for the input.

My initial build that I have settled on is TKM/MSwords/4400 Commando. Figured pulling out a few grenades while rooted or a heavy weapon my surprise my opponents enough. Seem viable to you or should I work into some healing? So many choices to start off kinda overwhelming.

healing always, keep in mind you can use level 54 ranged weapons if you are all melee, so heal up and then shoot them occasionaly while rooted, Cob with healing youll come out of every root with higher health then him hehe

well, i personally don't recommend spending the points to dabble in some ranged.

you will fair much better if you spend those points on medic. i would strongly recommend picking up medic xx4x for heals and then dumping the rest into a full line of fencer or pike, whichever you think sounds like the most fun (you really dont need to do the pike xx4x thing just for all the extra defense, with CoB you will do just fine on defense) so just take a line that has specials you like or some other good mods like accuracy or speed.


i just think that once you have mastered two melee profs it is not a good use of skills to try and dabble in just a little ranged, and in todays fighting, no heals means a really, really hard fight to win.

Didn't know or see anywhere that you could use ranged up to 54, interesting. Looked at commando for some of the defenses it grants but healing would be better to go with I suppose. I just didn't realize the COB was really such a big boost in defense. Learning as I go I suppose. Thank you for the info folks.

i find that the tkm specials alone are pretty weak for damage output. im a mcm/tkm, so i dont have any other melee specials availible - im focused more on healing, debuffing, tanking (have higher defense than tkm/swords doc combo =))

but a tkm with swordsman specials is very powerful offenseively =)

here's my template: TKM/MCM -> tanking... healing.... spiffy. Now. If I could only do some damage!

so I opened another account and rolled up a MR/MBH so i could actually kill stuff.

so that's my new template: 2 accounts.

lol!!!!

strangely enuff, i too, have mbh/mrifleman

if you love tkm go tkm/master swords/doc 4000 to attain the best combination of nonjedi defense and offense in the game, combine it with doctor healing tree and the right food buffs its like being master swordsman/tkm/master doctor, you are very formidable with the right add ons and you have the most fun and life is cheap when you are a tkm, hehe, no need to buy armor, and if you break your weapon you can just use your hands for similar damage, if you dont spend money on armor left and right, food buffs are alot cheaper for the best food buffs in the galaxy, the right food buff combo goes a long way in pvp, tkm is versatile and can be made to fit your style of play from ultimate tank, to damage dealing melee (with great defense) or just for mods for your other melee professions or shoot even ranged professions benefit from tkm mods, its all around the best catalyst for a good template, but remeber HEALING IS NECESSARY NOW, the most proficient players in the game all incorporate healing into their templates, and they will outlast those who opt for only defense or only damage, healing always beats defense and it certainly can compete with an offensively built template

Sad, isn't it? I miss my old TKM days running missions on Yavin4... buffed to the gills.... man that was fun. I really enjoyed SWG then.

Now, though, I feel like I'm playing Beat The Nerf with every toon I play.... this is why I quit DAoC, EQ2, WoW.... keeps up I'll end up playing checkers with my german sheppard. cuz he can't nerf me!
