Teräs Käsi Template Question Thread.
While Ryutek was Correspondent he started using set threads dedicated just for template Question & Answer as we get a great deal of template questions pass through these forums each day. In order to help keep the forums tidy I've continued to do the same.
This is the first post-CU version of the thread.
Note: Any template questions I see that are not located in this thread I will ask to be locked.

yay!!
Sorry to all those that think the CU is a drag, but it has revitalised my interest in the game and I am really looking forward to it and playing through the 'newness' of it all. 
My current preffered template for TKM is:
TKM/MD/0031 Swordsman
Being TKM/MD prior to CU has made this template a comfortable fit. I mainly played it due to the fact that TKM was a relativaly easy/safe defensive proffesion and MD kept me and my PvP buddies alive through all the CM/Dot wars as best it could.
The addition of a few boxes of sword post CUis for the powerful attacks it grants.
- headhit novice sword (great dmg prolly see it nerfed
) - Improved armour breaker 0030 sword(haven't really tested what this does)
- Critical hit 0001 sword(not as good as headhit)
TKM/MD/ A few boxes of fencer
Could also be a viable option for weakening opponents but not sure if the dmg output would be sufficient for solo play I still need to test this out.
Hopefully balancing and testing the new CU won't drag on as much as the "balances" for the old system did (lol 2 years is a long time to keep "balancing" a combat system) but finally I can see light at the end of the tunnel and like I said earlier am looking forward to the "freshness" of the new system.
Guess I better ask a question then, hehe I would like to know if anyone has tested TKM/MD + dabbleing in other melee professions and hat havebeen the results?.(I have only had a limited time to test on CU). Also will there be any forseeable changes to Skill load outs and ability "adjustments" in the near future that may affect the above TKM/MD/0031 swordsman template (eg: headhit being 'adjusted')

MOved ....
I never played PvP ... and i usually don't have time, or can't be bothered to get a group together....
I really enjoy solo-ing higher content ... so far i did that as tkm/doc 0440/fencer 0400 (some fs trees), and that worked out very well for me .... i know swords would have been even better (damage wise), but i just love TKM, and it was my first profession that i mastered ... long time ago
For the peeps that already tried different templates on the TC, what would be a good new template for me?
I know they are trying to force you in groups ... but i just prefer going solo ...

moved:
Does it make sense in the post-CU world to combine TKM with any ranged professions? Is so does anyone have suggestions?
I'm primarily looking at this from a roleplay/PvE stand point, I'm not really interested in PvP. I'm thinking of TKM/MPistol/0440 Smuggler or TKM/MSmuggler/???? Pistoleer (probably would do this after the Smuggler revamp).
Also, what about TKM & MBH?

im fairly distraught.
i have no idea what to do after tonite. currently i am a master commando, tkm. have been a tkm since november of 03,and am REALLY not hankering to change that. unfortunately given lack of specials in both profs, commando and tk no longer compliment each othhr very well. and naturally i am royally screwed on the respec. by master makrsman.
i think the only thing i can really get is master doc ... and im not sure it's worth it at this time. i have played endlessly with character builder, and i cant seem to come up with anything worthwhile.
help.

I am TKM/Master Dancer/Novice Smuggler. The ability to use concussion shot is really nice... stops kiters pretty well, and if you are rooted, draw your pistol, and shoot back... and when the root starts to fade, root the rooter, and holster the blaster as you close to melee. I think the dirty fighting tree from smuggler would be a good complementary skill set for a TKM as well.

I'm planning on keeping most of my skills, but I'll respec around a little bit. Respeccing to:
TKM
0034 Swordsman
4000 Commando
4000 BH
I'm gonna play with this a bit and if it doesn't work out well I'm going for:
TKM 0034 Swordsman
MBrawler
4040 Commando
Both of these builds are pretty good numbers-wise and also involve my favorite profession: TK

You just have to see what level your respec comes out to. No matter how good it looks on paper you'll lose out to anyone who has double master or level 80 as you won't do any significnat damage but they will have damage mulipliers depending on the difference between your levels.

With PvE its the same way. You'll get an average of 300-600 damage per hitfor level 80 mobs even if you are level 80. The best way to mitigate that if you are grinding is to group with healers and tanks and ranged damage dealers.
Oh and commando by itself is useless as it doesn't have any specials by itself. You have to combine ranged with ranged and melee with melee to get the full benefits.
Things may still change though. This CU is rushed and will be in beta for the next 2 years.
