That should be a good combo hon to give you a good mix of ranged and melee attacks. I was discussing this earlier on test with a few other people and we felt that that was a good combo to give you ranged and melee power. The other combo that came across as a good one, that would be mostly melee with just a tiny bit of ranged, was:

Master TKA, 4440 Fencer, 0040 Pistoleer, then some scout explore line and/or some medic. That would give you around 115ish ranged defense, over the cap melee defense, and multiple Def. Vs at 70 all the way to the cap(especially over the cap def vs posture change and +120 def vs knockdown) Plus you'd be able to afford medic and/or some terrain negotiation.

It wouldn't give you the ranged power you would have as a master rifleman, but it would give you some ranged capabilities and at least access to most of the damage types out there in one way or another.

The rifleman combo might end up being better for pure PvP play, but I think the combo I listed, or one that uses swordsman and tka would make for better PvE play. All of them would be effective in any situation though.

Oh, and as and added bonus, with the combo I listed up above, you wouldn't get any dodge outside of novice pistoleer from 0040 pistoleer, but you would get almost all the dodge from fencer. So, the times when you did have to switch over to fencer skills or pistol skills to damage something, in addition to all your other defenses, the dodge mod would kick in to give you some extra defense.

'Tess, that is one cool template you have listed. i have never tried template 'stacking' before. i had one character that was a bit of a stacker, but more for the ability to use certain weapons than for defensive skills.

i like the layout of this template. it gives some nice skills as well as defenses. thanks for sharing!

Thanky, it wasn't just my idea though, more of a collaboration I think you'll see a lot more interesting ones like this now that we know that ranged and melee defense are capped. It frees up more skill points you can use elsewhere.

One last note on the template I provided, by going up the techniques line in pistoleer, that also gets you Ranged Mitigation 2. Its not as good as the 3 you'd get at master, but it still adds a lot. You also have the points to give up some medic or scout skills, and pick up some smuggler too if thats your preference

But, even without adding in smuggler, you have enough left over to at least get some terrain negotiation on top of some medic skills. Or, for the pure solo player(not myself but I know some are out there ) you could sacrafice some medic and/or scout and pick up novice entertainer so you could self heal your bf too.
