Hi,
I'm going to be TKM / MPikewoman / MDoc 0004 (or 4000)
and my question is - would TKM "inner armor" outweight Battle armor used by MPike and MDoc?
Also please point me in the right direction :
*MDoc 4000 <---- or----> *MDoc 0004
I had this template (with the melee speed line from FS) TKM/M Pike/Doc 4000 (which is healing and better than buffs) and I absolutely loved it. PvE and even in PvP it was wonderfully effective. Warcry, intimidate, armour break, dizzy and stun are great debuffs and impale is a great high damage attack. If you get a good pike or katarn knuckles with low action costs you can use impale as your default attack and do very good damage.
The bad parts were you do need extra speed and accuracy from foods, skill enhancing items and or force sensitive to be truly able to tackle high end PvE and PvP
TKM / Doc4004 / Swordsman0034 / Fencer0004
I really like it a lot. I hit decently hard and I hit really fast. What I get out of the spec:
Dizzy (could use a little love)
ICOB (Please Lord no nerf bat!)
TIA (Saves me a lot of money)
KD (Still once in a blue moon works good with Dizzy)
AAB (One of the best things in the game for a meleer)
Critical Hit (For when I have the extra action)
Advanced Bleed (Which is decent and you can stack it twice or maybe even more so the damage adds up while you are wailing on them or healing yourself)
Most buffs, including the all important +25 attack speed (great for guildmates as well)
Bacta Infusion (Also fantastic, especially when used in conjunction with ICOB)
2nd Best Bacta Jab
Best Bacta Injection
Heal wounds (for friends/mates)
Excellent bonuses (including 245 Accuracy)
No need to ever pay for a Krayt super weapon or buy any at all for that matter ever again.
I can wear clothing that has been BE and CAed to all heck giving me awesome bonuses.
I could go on, I am sure I could think of more, but I have messed around with a ton of templates, even incorporating ranged. I have been CL 80 three times since I used my token, lol. I really feel this is the best a PVE TKM can do for themselves. I just wanted to share because I would suggest this to anyone. Heck it might even be good for PVP, I just can't say to be honest. Cheers!
After a time spent practicing Meditation in the outer rim (Read: Not playing SWG) I returned to find myself in a dillema. I am unsure which direction to go in. I have always been TKM and I will soon Master my polearms style (PIKEY!). I am also a master of lesser styles (Master Brawler) but what should I focus the rest of my time on?
I am tempted to try the fencing arts but what combination of skills?
Fencer 4-4-3-x ?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

haha, innate armor would be better for you (i am guessing you are a noob) since it is good quailty and does not decay. better battle armor cost around 1 mil.
i would take 4000 doc, you have better heals. 2002 maybe, but id rather have 4000

Hello,
I'm not really sure what to do with my template, specially with the sword skills
I'm TKM with doctor 4xx4. But don't know which swordsman skills i should take.
What would benefit me most.
Should i go for MSwords and doc 4xxx (with the loss of buffs). Or which lines do i need to take to make good damage?
Thanks in advance

First off, I ONLY PVE. I do not play PVP at all. But I lovemy current spec:
TKM / Doc4004 / Swordsman0034 / Fencer0004
fencer is a waste for pve IMO... esp 0004, blind is borked, and bind attack does nothing in pve. youd be better off with swords 0444 i think.
it is up to you, whether you would rather have buffs or use a PH. your temp is good if you use katarn or nightblade

If I ever do PVP, I think I would probably try my current template for a while, but would most likely switch to MS/TKM/Doc 4000. That seems to be about the best Melee Template out there unless you are really brave and can go with no medic (have to be grouped).
eh. tkm/mswords/doc4000 is not the best really, but good nonetheless
My thoughts are - Master Brawler / TKM / 0003 Fencer / 0044 Swordsman / 0440 Pikeman / Combat Prowess Master / 4400 Enhanced Reflexes. This way I can continue to fight TK style using the skills and stats from the other profs. (I know half of combat prowess would be useless but im not dropping those ranged trees after grinding them all the way)
This would give me;
242 General Melee Accuracy + 75 unarmed accuracy + 12 FS Melee Accuracy = 329 total accuracy
52 General Melee speed + 65 unarmed speed + 12 FS melee speed = 129 total speed
225 Melee defense + 75 unarmed defense + 20 FS Melee defense = 320 total melee defense
165 ranged defense + 75 unarmed defense + 20 FS ranged defense = 260 total ranged defense
Also the specials from those trees could be usefull in addition to the few I currently have as a TKM.
Any thoughts or comments on this change?

having trouble deciding which template to go with
Teras Kasi Master/Master Defender/Force Healing 4000 (with Combat Prowess 0044, Enhanced Reflexes 4404, and Heightened Senses 0004(
This would appear to provide some fantastic defensive bonuses. Since the TK innate is higher than the Jedi one I presume it gets used as I understand they do not stack:
82 General Melee Accuracy + 75 unarmed accuracy + 12 FS Melee Accuracy = 169 total accuracy
25 General Melee speed + 65 unarmed speed + 12 FS melee speed = 102 total speed
340 Melee defense + 75 unarmed defense + 20 FS Melee defense = 435 total melee defense
290 ranged defense + 75 unarmed defense + 20 FS ranged defense = 385 total ranged defense
Now, will COB stack with these defenses? Whats the actual bonus due to COB, isn't it something like +500 to Melee Defense? If so would that honestly be melee defense of 935? I am contemplating respecing to TKM/MDoctor and then when I am done with my FS skills, moving to this template if its worthwhile. I will only be PvEing I expect, as I have little to no interest in PvP.
