and you are left with 4 unspent skill points (my personal choice is melee defense from enhanced reflexes) so here are some stats:


TKM - speed: 135, accuracy: 290; melee def: 320, ranged def: 245 (my favorite melee def. is 340 with enhanced reflexes)
SWM - speed: 140, acuracy: 315; melee def: 295, ranged def: 220 (take combat prowes melee speed you get152 speed.)
FNM - speed: 130, accuracy: 295; melee def: 285, ranged def: 210 (with examples abovewho need fencer)


Skills:
general melee accuracy: +205
general melee speed: +65
melee defense: +245
ranged defense: +170






Too bad TC is down, but I am without doubt you would loose against a TKM/Pikeman/Brawler/0340SM/2000Fencer.

Fencer is useless for tanking purposes. Its a hit&run dot profession. Pikeman's role in the CU is to be the next best tank and best melee crowd control profession.

Thanks to Master Brawler that template have the exact same stats as yours:
* General melee accuracy: +205
* General melee speed: +65
* Melee defense: +245
* Ranged defense: +170

Here's what you have:
Improved Sword Flurry (Who needs it when you have intimidate?)
Blinding Strike (Who needs it when you have intimidate?)
Improved Lounge (Basic lounge do its purpose just fine).
Berserk/Critical Strike (You dont need theese with Impale/Armor Break/Stun)
Improved Bleed (You are stuck with Bleed, which is good enough)

This is what youlack:
Intimidate, this halves the damage you take from your opponent. They can have a lightsaber if they like, and it wont help them.
Warcry, this is the only brawler queueing attack in the game. Queing rocks.
Impale, this is the highest damaging melee attack in the CU.
Stunning Blow,Stacks with Armor Break and really improve damage.

--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

I have been playing with a TKM/MBH/Novice Commando, and4xx4 marksman. I play a wook and the bow caster looks cool and does good damage, and the TKM is great for tanking. It seems very versatile, and I like it alot.

Currently: TKM/M.Pikeman/M.Brawler/Scout 3000/FS melee speed III


I like TK for the defense and i like Pike for the offense. If it weren't for FS Melee Speed though, that would be much slower.

What about TKM/Doc for soloing? Do any of you guys that have this template or a variation of it think it is good/best for soloing? It's the route I'm thinking of going but am not quite sure what would be best for soloing. i"m a player with only a moderate amount of time to play so need a good soloing character.



Any thoughts would be appreciated,


JAVEWS

I am Master TK, Master Pikeman and have novice doctor and rest of my skill points in force sensitive. I will have to drop the novice doc for force sensitive stuff soon. But overall, this is a nice combination that i like and plan on keeping for a long time to come. Plus i can max out more than one profession for my force sensitive xp which is always a good thing.

Hey guys, been dabbling with the followng template and it works a treat


TK Master


Master Force Powers


1100 Healer



Its great going toe to toe with tkm and then whipping out a force choke or advanced knockdown, really puts your opponent off when that purple lightening blasts into them

okay.... went with the following template: MDoc/TKM/MBrawler... still leaves me at lvl 80 and i got some of the old TKM specials back... thinking of dropping MBrawler and taking up Nov. Swords to get headhit back...should make this toon a bit more stable as it was pre-CU.

270/190 Melee/Ranged Defence.

My current template, which if you know how to play your TK is almost unstoppable in PVE and Very strong in PVP.


Teras Kasi Master


Master Pikeman


Master Brawler


Swordsman 0410 (melee Speed tree, and Improved head it, plus i get Improved Armor break as well)


Fencer 0040 - Melee Defense Tree, and blind skills.


With this template, i can effectively lay Stun, Then Intimidate, then Dizzy, and then a Blind, then I armor break, then use Improved Impale/Improved head hit alternatively.


My Vibro lance is decent, (2.5 Speed, 980 Max) and its not uncommon to see 600's or higherflying off of players in PVP with the armor break. I also make sure i always my Center of Being on as well- If that drops, any ranged template will Tear you apart since ranged is much more powerful than Melee fighters without that center. Root will kill you, unless you use center to cut the damage greatly.


With this template, I've managed to beat Master Defender Jedi a number of times (3 or 4, out of about 10 fights). If they do not have force aura (which is supposed to reduce their damage greatly like Force run and is bugged right now- On the contrary, Improved CoB is not supposed to since its Martial arts- it shouldn't) or master healer, I can beat them rather quickly, usually in about 30 seconds once i land that armor break and use impale/improved head hit.


Anyway, template is matter of preference, not exactly one uber template.

I've been using a TKM/MDoc ( /Swords 0400, IIRC ) for the past few days, and they excel at survivability in PvE.


If I keep Center of Balance and Bacta Infusion active on my character at all times, I can pretty much garantee a win against two opponents of my level + 2 ( 82 ) solo. Against 3 ( level + 2 ) opponents, it's a battle I usually win unless I have bad luck. Against four or more( level + 2 ) opponents (solo), I can pretty much order the coffin, as they can usuallydeal out damage faster than I can avoid/heal it.


WARNING: my damage output is... questionable... to say the least. Perhaps more combat experience will teach me how to solve this problem, perhaps not. Combats can get quite long against multiple enemies.


I'll probably try another template or two, but I have a hard time believing that I'll find anything more generally useful both for solo and grouping than this combo. No real equipment requirements, high survivability, and I find myself frequently invited to groups for the healing capability.


My biggest complaint is that I can't deal out damage quickly enough in large group settings to keep opponent attention, and as a result am not as good of a tank as I might have thought.



I don't have any comment about PvP, as I don't do it.

I have a choice between two templates:


#1: TKM/Master Pikeman/ Doctor 4xxx


or


#2 TK x4xx (for cob and defenses)/Master Pikeman/Master Doctor


I love tkm/pikeman and doctor. Im leaning for towards the first because doc isnt that great these days. Im more of a group player


so im not concerned with damage that much.


Anyway hope somebody can answer this because im going on in an hour


Thanks Guys
