I hate to do this and post about this yet again, but what else are the forums for lol.

Anyone tried these, or have any input on them?

tkm
doc- 4000
fen- 0404
swo- 4030

or

tkm
master swords
doc- 4000

or

tkm
fencer master
doc-4000

Leaning towards number 1 but not really sure.

Your first template will hinder you. I can't imagine you being higher than CL70. Currently, I'm TKM/Msword/Doc4000, and I like it. Once the Swordsman specials and weapons are up to par with the rest of the CU (5 offense my ass), then this will be the Tank/Wrecker class. TKM/Fencer is good since the Fencer ROTW weapons are insanely good, but you sacrifice some offense for DOTs...which is nice, but in PVP you need DPS, not DOTs to win.

Do you find yourself fighting with a swordsman weapon or with TK weapons. I want the look and feel of fighting with either no weapon or a tk weapon. My favorite wordsman weapon is the curved sword but sadly it is aweful lol.

i have tried all fo the combos my brain could think of from triple master, to fencer/tkm/doc, to swordsman/tkm/brawler/medic 0040, even to combining pistoleer/tkm/smuggler 4020 which was fun, but none of them have worked as well in pve and pvp as tkm/swordsman/doc 4000 you can use tkm viably to tank and deal a good deal of damage about 70% of regular swordsman damage with the swordsman moves while in tkm mode and retain all the tkm defense, and if things get really tight bust out a scythe or a power hammer and crack the crap out of the enemy, nto to mention 4000 doc heals arent that far off par of master doc healing abilties, pack a couple of stim d's and i rarely see incap, not in pve or pvp, its a very versatile combo, and works very well, and i dont want to ever change, not to mention you get the old unarmed hit 3 animation back with power attack hehe so fun

I guess it is choosing between fencer and swordsman now. I was a swordsman/doc for about a year and had a great time. Fencer is the only melee prof I have not mastered (rifleman and commando only other combat profs not mastered) so maybe I will try TKM/Fencer/Doc 4000. Anyone have that temp? Is it any good?

I have never done fencer. I have heard people who really liked fencer for PvE, but I am not sure about them in PvP.

Well i like tkm mbrawler and mdoc it takes about 3-4 ppl on avg to take me down or make me work.

Has someone tried TKM and MCM ?

I haven't compared the damage output with TKM+MSword, but you have

- 2 DoTs ticking for approx. 200 damage

- quite a few debuffs, including a movement speed debuff

- a mezz (paralyze)

- (AoE) heals

The question is: does someone have hard numbers to compare this against TKM, MS ?

- DoTs against the additional damage of MS

- debuff vs. the enhanced defense

I know of one TKM/MCM and he is really tough to take down, he does excellent in pvp. I might try the TKM/Master brawler/Master Doc that guy just said. Man so many choices so little time.

I am trying TKM, MCM at the moment. It *is* nice. Especially the AoE heals which do 2 things at once: healing all around me (normally fellow tanks) and getting aggro back.

I have no idea, how I can hold aggro without them / or with weakened aggro in publish 19 -no AoE taunt hurts for a tank.

AndI miss the "cool" animations. The TK special animations are way better than this "throw" of the MCM :-(

Well it looks like you cant have anything.

They all look great but,I can't play Melee without Adrenal Boost.

I currently have TKM/4x44 Swordsman/4xx4 Doctor with CL 80,and I absolutely love it.

As great as 4xxx doctor is,4xx4 doctor is a whole world better .
