I am a Master TKM. I am looking for advice for my final Respec. I am caught between MPike and MSwords. I would like to keep the following:
TKM - 4000 Scout
I hear a lot about MPike is better because of states or MSwords is better for damage. I wouldnt mind taking some novice medic for faster med use but as far as what would make the master melee guy, I am a bit confused.
- Whats faster? MSword or MPike?
- Who deals more damage? MSwords or MPike?
- For the FS grind to Jedi, what would be more advantageous?
- Would Master Brawler be better to have then Novice Medic?
Remember.......SP's are at a premium.

why take scout 4000? for terrain neg? you max that out (in the scout prof anyways) at scout 3000. personally i would pick up terrain neg bio clothes and save yourself 29 skillpts.
to answer your questions-
--by stats Msword is faster, but pikes have access to faster weapons. so it balances out in the end. pikes weapons are also lower action costs.
--Mswords easily outdamages other melee profs. however, action management can be bear. damage over time might be a little better with other profs weapons as they tend to have lower action costs.
--either would do. in groups xp gain is pretty fast.
--yes yes yes. novice medic is not worth the skill pts (imho) you need higher level medic skills (read: doctor skills)to use your bacta shot effectivly. remember you don't need medic skills to use stim packs in the CU. master brawler is much better than novice medic.
i used to be MSwords/TKM/Mbrawler. i found myself using swords specials with a pike in hand. it worked really well. i thought why not be Mpike? did that for a while as well. missed the damage potential of swords. loved the state attacks in pike. the crowd control ability is a bit over rated since no one with out doctor's support with take on multiple high level mobs at a time.
i even tried the FOTM: Mpike/tkm/doctor 4000. that is really good. boring though (to me)
it all comes down to a matter of personal preference. i ended up TKM/Mfencer/Mbrawler/Sword 0034. i have fun. and that is what matters.

I did TKM, Master 2-handed, and Master Brawler. Good defensive mods, melee defense sits un-buffed at 255 and ranged at 200. I hate crunching the numbers for a roll playing game, but I'm not that nice of a fellow anyway so I should take any advantage. I put the rest into Scout 4040, but I'll spend them on FS boxes if I ever get around to it.
