Leaves me with 156 give or take ranged and melee defense. Around 70KD and PD defense, 800+heals,62 unarmed toughness, ranged and melee mitigation 3(which REALLY helps in PVP), and enough one handed speed to stick DOTs like a mofo.Great in PVP and PVE over all.

Not as goodat doing damage to high end mobs by myselfwithout swordsmanas I could be, but I love my rifles. Needa tank or85%+ armor to deal damagewith rifles(against things like nightsisters and DWB stuff) unless I want to die. This isslightly offset by the ability to kill the mobs(albeitvery slowly) without being aggroed using conceal shot.That and strafe shot owns.

Fairly bad state defenses(something like 10+ intimidation, 20+ stun, 20-30 dizzy, and 20 combat equilibrium; have to check), which can be annoying at times, BUT, I am tough to knock down and can pile on the states/DOTs myself.

This template has many strengths but also a couple key weaknesses. In PVP, rifles or TKA is great, but I have a littletrouble against pure melee stackers and doc/pike or doc/fencer(when they have DOTs).

Against the melee stackers, it's just tough to apply states or knock them down. Sometimes it'll take 8 or more tries just to dizzy one of them, let alone knock down, but if I do get a knockdown in, they are in trouble. Once they are on the ground, I can pull out a nasty rifle, and, coupled with my fencer DOTs,rip their mind apart; meanwhile setting myself up to kite. Often times the melee stackers don't have medic, or if they do, just novice. So my low state defense is offset by my ability to heal over 1k a pop. Also have ranged DB, area 64meter stun andarea 64meter dizzy(which is great for catching FRing Jedi).

In PVE...well, you all know TKA's weakness; kinetic damage only and AP1. I find my templatemakes an EXCELLENT tank against high end mobs,but it's tough to do damage against them by myself. If I use TK, I can't do much if they have high armor and/or high kinetic resists. If I switch to rifle, I have the huge melee to-hit penalty. But, if a tank is needed, this template rocks; and if there are alreadytanks present, this template rocks. In the DWB today, I EASILY tanked 3 SBDs,3 DWB wraiths, and a BS trooper all at once.

And anytime someone elsecantank, you can't beatAP3 450+ damage T21s and AP2 350+acid damage DXR6-b strafe shots or headshots; and if there is a dedicated healer present, rifles tank just fine
