Thread: Seeking Template Advice
If you can explain why you're suggesting something and the pros and cons of it, that would be awesome.You need a double elete mastery to pvp. There is no room to discuss this. Anything less and you wont last 30 seconds cause all the CL80s will not only be stronger than you, they will get a huge damage bonus on you due to your level.
TKM is great for defence and necessary to survive if you are a melee player, unless you choose doc instead. On the other hand, tkm does not do enough damage to be useful offensively anymore. Your high end melee damage prof is swords. Pike is almost as good and offers a bit more defence. Either one of these would be fine.
If you dont have enough pts to double master in combat, then I would consider going ranged and trying to buy the uberness by spending millions on a high end weapon to make up for some of your lack of skills. My guess is that a master carbine with uber armor and, say the uber carbine that is on auction right now (will prob sell for around 10 mil) might be able to take down a double master.
I can relate to your situation. It took me a few weeks before I was able to respec out of master image designer so I could actually hunt. The bottom line is swg is designed so, like in real life, we cant be great at everything. As long as you keep dancer (or as long as I kept image designer), you will never be all that good in combat and, unless you are rich, any CL80 will kill you.

/agree totaly with the Cl 80 obersvation
if your keeping dancer I would say eather pistoleer or CM would be good choices mainly couse they are good at rooting
and slowing Melee down so they cant get in range to hit you....
the pistols also have fast DPSand low action cost.....your just out of luck standing toe to toe with a full combat templated player....
sorry just the way CU is now days..... TKM would be a bad choice in your case....
It's not a bad choice for a dancer and here's why..
You don't have to wear armor, you get plenty of defense (and CoB), you can enhance your abilities through BE clothes.
I would suggest you go with TKM and dabble in another elite profession, but not for defense, for the specials. For instance, in Pike you could get Intimidate, or in Fencer you can get Blind or Bleed, just mix it up with whatever adds to the fun.
As far as fun with a template goes, the worst thing to do is limit the different types of moves you can do.

TKM is fine if you want to role play one im not trying to persuade you not to be one.....
just informing you that against a CL-80 you will get wasted is all 
Let me be a bit more frank here...
Welcome to the everquest level system. If you think you arent playing everquest you are dead wrong.
The bottom line is all serious and semi-serious pvp peeps are CL 80. The combat system is now designed in such a way that not only does a CL80 (obviously) have more health, more specials, more defence, etc..., they also get a huge damage bonus against peeps and pve of a lower lvl.
I am a CL80 and beat down a tkm yesterday. The tkm had powerboost and cob going and a blasterfist, and was using all his specials. I did not powerboost and forgot to turn my cob macro on. Even with this, I incaped him very quickly because of his level.
