in my experiences on my last server. Defense lines do not stack.

I was near master fencer, and novice tka. When i equipped VKs i would take MUCH more damage. The defense line only works when you have a weapon from that skill tree equipped. when you take dmg it does a check for what weapon your holding, just like when you fire it takes a check of what weapon your holding, to see if you can do that special.

If defense lines stacked you make a near "un-hittable" character.

my perfect build is:

Master TKA, Master CH, Pistol 4, Smuggler Dirty Fighting 4, novice medic

Ranged is nice, but i dont like it. I use ranged KD to get close enough to dizzy, then lunge if needed to secure they lay down. then its all unarmed from there.

this template is likely to change, however master tka will always be my primary character. I know most of you think CH is cheap, but its my way of doing ranged dmg, without useing a gun. I dont think its cheap, as most pistoleers or BHs (most ranged actually) can do FAR more damage then any pet i can tame, if they dont know how to fight a CH, then dont kite me =). I never understood the idea of thinking CH was a cheap way of fighting, especially when this game is populated by BHs who spam mind shots with 1.0 speed guns for 300dmg a shot, and Commandos that 1-shot youand bleed you ham bars completely black.

best build is TKM+ master elite master TK when they release it.

all the other proffessions are just somthing to play with tell this is out. rumor though, acutualy probably not even that, but it makes sense, and its somthing that might come with an exspantion.

Im master CH, and if they were not nerfing all CH dablers i might drop it get some CH, and get myself master footwork, and pistol stances and grips, having a net of 100% knock down resistance =P

Bleeds take time to be useful. It takes about 20 seconds for the first effects of a bleed to kick in. I kill most people in the first 5 seconds of an engagement at 60m. The bonuses given in master marksman is what we'd call "negligible" since for it to work you'd actually have to use /aim. No one actually uses /aim in PvP.

The people on my PvP team don't touch bleeds or poison because it's our opinion that we kill faster without the bleeds.

We have a saying. If we need to KD a second time in a fight with a person we're doing something wrong.

I find I do just fine with

Master Smuggler / Pistoleer/ Commando/ TKA

A Lowblow followed by panicshot with a launcher or FWG or what ever then switch to Flamethrower and Flamesingle 2 kills most players and if it doesnt kill then right away I still have at least one Last Ditch to follow up before I even take damage if I hit and get off the first shots. If there still not dead they are taking the fire dot while I hit them with more last ditchs or body shots or what ever will drop them the fastest.

There are many great PvP templates it depends on waht type of strategy you use.

I used to have dirty tricks line in smugler, sometimes i miss FD, but i havn't really even noticed all that much. In fact it was my very first template set up, because i wanted the ranged knock down with TK.

Though its much like master brawler wich i had, the only senario that i found it valuable to have was when i landed dizzy from KD2, but missed the KD. That doesn't happen offten, and usualy i land the kd, but miss the dizzy.

other then that the lunge1+kd2+uh3 is about the best posture change combo ive found, since they moved KD to a 30 second timer. i lothe blowing my timer just to run up to the guy to have him stand up and start kiting me again, although with smugler you have last ditch, not shabby little special either, i moved out of smugler basicly because i felt i could get more punch with another set up. Although please dont let me discourage ya, just offering my thoughts.

and hey SanTsu, kinda neat to see another corespondant posting on these fourms, even though you do have some tk skills. =)

So, Pistol defenses and tka defenses don't stack eh? Can anyone verify this? This is ridiculous as other mods stack.

No defenses to panicshot. and come on a TKA can be kited from 30 meters all day.

TKA/Doctor one of the best PvE templates there is but for PvP brawlers just cant beat good ranged players. I love TKA but I wouldnt base aPvP template around it.

guess thats why i use some pets that cost me no pool points and dont tickle when they hit you from range. /shrug hehe.

yes they can be kited, but its not hard to get a ranged person to chase the TK, just have to find his motivation.

he wants you dead, he wants to db you, and he wants faction points, he wants the glorry if "winning" how is he going to do this if i dont kite him? he is going to have to chase me if i happen to go the other way.

step into a med center, the cloning facility, someplace enclosed. or could simply send the pets and go sit inside a building somewhere.

you could decide to change to pistoleer, but when your facing bounty hunters who use eye shot and doesn't cost mind to use it, or comandos who are no on range dmg, and two shot up, chasing somone who kites isn't exactly the best idea, tka or with pistol.
