Iam working on TKM once that is complete I am going to climb one of the other trees. I am not sure which is best though. I PvE hunt often with another TKA (future master) and I want to have an alternate damage source. Also, I would like to be good in PvP combat although I have never done that. Any suggestions on which of the three I should master to best compliment my current template.

Master ID

TKM

Medic 1/0/0/0

and

Master Fencer, Master Swordsman, or Master Pikman

Please, someof you wonderful TKers out there, give me your opinion on this.

TKM - MRiffleman -- The template you said would be very good, I've recomended it a few times recently, one thing I would comment on though, I'd go for 0-1-0-0 Medic on this one & not 0-0-1-0, +5 Med use isn't really a huge help, where as a touch of extra healing speed is always nice. Also if you go for this one don't forget to get some BE clothes to cap that melee deffence.

Out of the next two I'd say go for the second one, if you're going to use Swordsman that extra +5 speed from MBrawler always helps. Also I'd consider 4-0-0-3 TK. This would make you a bit more self dependent in terms of healing & also cap your melee deffence & improve your ranged deffence nicly. & also I'm just throwing that in as this is a TK forum after all.

Also just to throw in another option for you:

TKM
Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
Medic 0-0-4-0
Scout 1-0-0-0

That would probably suit you as well so you might like to look in to that one.

There are pro's & con's to both as I listed, there is no best, it's very much a play style option, thats something that only you can really pick. Hense why so many of the answers people give here will just give a bit more insight & little changes then still leave the main choice with the question asker, especialy when the choice left are between a Melee / Melee or a Melee Ranged template.

Are the makers going to change Kari tasi Artist to a lower lvl or just lvling out ranged skills with it in the C.U.

Also willthey change the special attacks with Kari tasi artists? if they agree that it is too strong compared to Rifleman and other proffessions.

Thx,

First, it is Teräs Käsi Artist

What is known about the CU as it pertains to us is in the sticky entitled "The CU/R/B & Teräs Käsi - What we know V1.0 (Discussion & Information thread)." (LINK)

novice tk
smuggler 0040
combat prowess 0200

and want to change to

Mpistoleer
TKM
fencer 3440
combat prowess 0200
reflexes 0004

any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated

Hello I am wondering what would be better.
Still working on these two:
Master TKA (1/3/4/3)
Master CH (2/2/1/4)
currently have:
novice Rifles
Novice Medic

I am not sure if it would be better to drop rifles and go up brawler.

Any suggestions?

Sznake, That is a fairly "tried and true" template that I know a few people use, and not really much that I would change unless you wanted to drop some Medic. The main drawback to the template as you have it listed is the lack of Accuracy in Fencer if you do have to use it, though if that is not your intention I wouldn't worry about it. Some other variations that work well are:

TKM
Master Fencer
Pistoleer 4-0-4-0
Novice Medic + 1 Box of choice

OR

TKM
Master Fencer
Pistoleer 0-0-4-0
Medic 0-1-4-0

Bighoog, options A, B, and D would all work for you, but I would not suggest option C (predominantly because Novice CH alone will not help you much. You really would need at least two full trees to really be effective at all). One thing I would do, however, is not spread your points out quite as thin, that way you are more effective whichever way you need to fight. I would suggest something more like:

TKM
Master ID
Swordsman 0-4-0-4
Novice Medic or Scout and One Box

This would allow you to be effective with Swords because your accuracy and speed will be high enough to matter, and you could choose between Medic or Scout depending on which you find more useful.

Andelos, I don't really think Enhanced Reflexes will help you out, but it really won't hurt anything to have either. I think that would be a fun template to try, and don't really have anything bad to say about it (the Fencer additions for Defense will help nicely, especially the higher dodge for when you are using pistols).

The only thing I would possibly change would be to do 3-3-0-0 in Combat Prowess instead of having anything in Reflexes, though I think Ranged Speed is still bugged in that it seems to have no effect. I haven't paid much attention though, and could easily be wrong.

qwerty01, With CH having Rifles is beneficial, because you can let the pet do the tanking and deal some nice damage from a safe distance. However, Rifles really are not effective until Mastery. Personally I'd stick with something like:

TKM
Master CH (as that seems to be what you want)
Swords 4-0-4-0 (For an Alternate Damage Type)

You can also substitute Swordsman for Medic, as you could easily do 4-4-3-0 Medic and be able to heal yourself nicely.

I hope these help

Thank you both for responding.

thank you! Ryutek I wasn't aware of the speed thing. I guess with speeder bikes and JTL travel terrain is kind of a non issue again thanks!
