i respeced to this template from my beloved master rifles , master combat medic , pistols 0404 because after duelinga few jedi and doing extremly well against ranged everyone started sending me tells asking me what my template was , when i saw everyone in front of theed going for this template i decided to take the mentioned tkm template for roleplaying porpuses , i liked it a lot , i thought tkm would be nice to RP even if they attacks were weak , a lot of people told me tkm was gimped and not to go tkm so on and so forth , there used to be 1 or 2 melees haning out in theed at any time , after gettting some good knuckelers and winning a few fights against full template jedi in front of everyone in theed i started getting tells asking me about my template .
Now everytime i go to theed there are at least 10 people that i can see holding knuckelers and buffed , and buffing and healing everyone walking by , before i respeced there were tons of people asking for wound heals and none had wound healing (my self included) funny part is that i see this people dueling jedi and getting their arse handed to them , i duel them and beat the crap out of them, then i get more tells "can i see your knuckelers , what can of food you eat?,what tactics do you use?" bah but its not their fault , its the game's for allowing people to comletely change their template in 4 days withy double xp and ridiculous amount of xp made in dantoine mining out post groups .
And the fact that everyone wants a chance at competing on pvp against jedi ,and its truly frustrating when you are ranged and all the group targets you when you are holding a rifel because you are a soft target .
at this moment ranged are a little gimped imo

I think you are mistaken in thinking *you* inspired a FOTM. TKM and Mdoc has been a mainstay of this community for as long as you have played (if your registration is any indication). It is post CU that TKMs have begun seriously looking at sword as a necessity to augment damage. There have been discussions of TKM, 4xx4 doc, with different combos of sword for some time now. Another factor is the healing revamp in pub19, as many people with token respecs remaining decided to get in on the great healing that this pub provides. So, is it FOTM? In some ways, yes. Did your uberness provoke it? No, it was in existance unseen by you previously.

Pike is good compliment as well, just for the intimidate and warcry (not to mention the sweet sweeps!)

never heard of you, and just went from triple mastery to doc4004,sword 0444, TKM last night.
Its not seeing other people that made me change my template, its my playstyle, i do a lot of solo venturing (heal/buff myself), i like doing damage (sword specials + armorbreak + adrenaline boost), i like not getting hit very hard (tkm + center + sword flurry), and i like wearing what i want instead of cramming my head in a helmet (tkm), and i like tanking (all of the above).
Instead of power attack, i would honestly recommend head hit, its not nearly as much of an action hog, and with crit strike/head hit your going to do some great damage with adv armorbreak.

Anyone who wants to be TKM is either counting on cheap armor or loves the profession (I'm the latter).
Anyone who wants to aggro or do damage in PvP takes some sword (I'm both)
Anyone who wants to survive takes doctor (I want to)
It's all common sense if you start with TKA as your base - then how you do it will differ depending on your playstyle; but you'll keep TKA - always.

Well, the thing I like most about Swordsman is Armor Break. Don't care that much about the better damage output I get with my PH (although I kind of need it), but I'm positively in love with armor break - it's possibly the bestmove in the game.

What is the Combat Level of this template? (TKM, Doc4104, Swords4044)
Wouldn't it be less than 80? I thought you needed a double elite mastery to hit cl80?

CL80 has nothing to do with masteries, it has to do with experience spent. That template is CL80. IIRC that template would turn CL 80 at TKM, Doc 4004, Sword 3044.

yeah this combination just seems to good to be truth , but as more people jump in this combination i fear that the developers will start (adjusting) stuff , its known that any time something becomes flavor of the month the developers take not and nerf .
now as for the head hit , i took that first ,but head hid just seems to unacurate , it misses a lot even with accuracy tapes/food ,powerattack has a greatanimation as well .yes it doesnt do that much damage , and yes it takes a windup to use , i guess i have powerattack just to showoff , also it seems to land a lot more often .
anyways a better combination, that , maybe if i didnt like the whole martials arts things i would had taken was master swords (the loss of improbed cob can easely be replaced by just using swords flurry)with either some fencer or pikes , really , the only nice thing about tka other than innate armor and the self buff is been able to heal your own wounds , but you already a doctor ,.the specials from pikeman are much nicer.mastering tka is just like mastering fencer , who ever does it , does it for the looks and because they like the professions .
and dont even tell me the whole argument of our weaponsbeen better, i have a scyte blade with the same action cost anddoes more damage then my katarn knuckelersifa bit slower ,.
a lot of people have been jumping into tka because of thekatarn knuckelers whenswordsman have much better weapons if used correctly ,the problem is that swordsman justspam their best attacks until they run out of action , also weapon switching in swordsman is a lot more important than most other melee

This is the primary reason TKM, Swordsman 4x44 , Doctor 4xx4 is very good with the Katarn Knuckler, because of the SPEED of ATTACK..
With Adrenal Boost, right Foods/Drinks, & the Correct Combinations from Swordsman profession....
This template will out kill...i've already gottencomplaints from some Range professions during group hunts, because of this....
