Here is the thing....ive always been BH and ive always been ranged. I toyed with Melee for a couple days during the initial respec period and LOVED it....but ended up going back to my old template mostly becuase I thought i would miss the BH content.

Well...I don't anymore. Ive got well over 100 kills and it just doesn't do it for me like it used to.

So with the melee template im going for TKM is a must....COB, Meditate, and Inate Armor will be far to useful to pass up...my question is what do I combine with it?

Ill most likely be going TKM / Master Pikes....but with the remaining points do I go 4000 Medic? Or do I get Novice Swords and Novice Fencer for the defensive bonuses they provide?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ireec Viogai

I think you're making the right choice going M.Pike. As far as what else to use in combination, it's a VERY hard choice imo. I've toyed with TKM/M.Pike/Doc, dropped doc to dabble in fencer and swords, tried it with master brawler, and pretty much tested every combination I could. When it came down to final respec I still had no idea what to choose...

It all depends on what you like to do.. here are my suggestions accordingly


If you like to solo, and have multiple creatures around you to fight

TKM/M.Pike/Doc is probably your best choice, although it will take you a bit longer to kill anything


If you like to PVP

You could do the TKM/M.Pike/Doc as well, but will likely never match a good jedi defender

or you could go

TKM/M.Pike/Swords/M.Brawler and have some really nice defense, do some real nice damage with critical hit, armor break and power attack, but not be able to tank multiple enemies at the same time as well.


If you want a good combination of the two (and this is what i will likely end up doing)

TKM/M.Pike/M.Brawler/Swords 0020/Medic 0040

This will give you a decent armor break, nice defenses, and a fair healing ability. Throw on some healing efficiency clothes and you can still heal for upwards of 500-600 health.


The main downside to the last option is that you aren't the 'best' at anything. You cant tank as well as the first choice, and you can't deal damage as well as the second choice, and you surely will have no chance against a Jedi Defender, but it's a nice compromise for someone that likes to be able to tank a few higher level enemies at once and still do some decent damage with the armor break/knockdown available.


Oh and lastly, Welcome Back to Melee!

Just played with /respec a bit and since I am currently a "0 points left" template I could do more than i thought i could.

This is what im planning on i think:

Master Brawler
Master TK
Master Pikes
Novice Swords
Fencer x1xx (improved lunge)
Medic 4xxx

What do you think?

Only problem isyou may want to go Medic 0040 instead of 4000 because the healing efficiency tree is at xxXx now and you wont be able to heal very well (only around 100 dmg) with 4000. Unless of course you would rather have the 10% health buff instead of good healing ability then 4000 is fine. But since 10% will only give you a few hundred extra HP, healing for a few hundred HP is probably better in the long run.

tkm/pike/doc4000


you cannot be killed unless you do something stupid


I can solo 5 lvl 80 ns with this template, mind you, it takes a long damn time to kill anything
