ok hi everyone im a master pikeman, swords, brawler, and tka 0004 and ive been wondering if theres a template that will help me make hte most of my tanking abilities? cause id rather take hits and let my buddies take out the monster.. but i dont really want to give up pikeman because i hit decent damage with it... around 700-1300 average... so can anyone help me make a decent template with a nice def rating, and accuracy? also i herd accuracy raises my dps is this true? and also is a higher dps really good? cause right now my pikes dps is 454... modified.. any suggestions would help nicely..

p.s. i do not need the swordsman profession since i like pike more..

I'd suggest Master TKA, Master Pikeman, and either Doctor 4000 or some combination of Swordsman with enough points left over for your FS points. The Doc 4000 option will give you a lot more survivability thru some very nice heals, make you more group friendly, and it leaves you with 4 SPs on the button.You can give yourself some more damage optionsif you takeSwordsman and you can spare 4 SPs from it and still get some/most of the good specials. You could alsotake Fencer but as I understand it, Fencer is a hit and run profession, and not a stand and tank/deal damage profession. You could also take the leftover points and get some boxes in Scout or whatever works for you buttry tostick with at least MTKA and MPikes. Most people will agree that for tanking, this combination is a very good one.

also i herd accuracy raises my dps is this true?

Will it raise the actual DPS number on your weapons? That I don't know but I don't believe so. It WILL help you to hit more which will increase the damage you do. This is important for your last question.

and also is a higher dps really good? cause right now my pikes dps is 454... modified.. any suggestions would help nicely..

For tanking, more damage is a good thing, It's been stated several times that in some situations, Taunt may not be enough to hold aggro in a group. If are doing more damage, you'll be more likely to keep the mob hitting you which is what you want to do if you're a tank.

Since you already have Swordsman, I'd recommend you dump your leftover SPs into that and pick up a few more points to your stats and maybe a couple more specials. There are some really nice attacks in Swordsman.

also whats the cap for melee def?

There isn't a cap for melee defense but after it suffers from diminishing returns; after a certain point, if you keep getting more pointsof it, they give you less benefit. It's been a while since I've seen a post where people tested defense but if I remember correctly, you're over the point where you could practically improve your defense, especially with Improved CoB.

and whats the def of innate armor and how are you sure on this?

You can find the post in the TKA forums prolly no more then a few pages back. MTKA has +60 to TKA Innate Armor and that translates into 6000 protection across the board; a reduction of 48 percent. These numbers have been tested by several people on the TKA boards and elsewhere but you can see for yourself if you enable "Verbose Chat" in your options. It should say that your TIA is working and cutting your damage approximately in half.

What about getting adrenal boost?

Doc 4/0/0/0 doesn't give you that, and Adrenal boost makes me cream my pants. I move like a lightning.

Post-CU, more accuracy makes you hit more often (not faster, but you miss less) AND for more damage. There are a few posts about this in the pistoleer forum, for example.
