Pre CU
Master Rifelman / Master DE (one account and I liked crafting droids)
CU
Master Rifelman with some points in Squad Leader, towards the end I tried Master Rifelman / Master Commando (not really a good combo though)
NGE
Officer (made sense and I liked the playstyle, especially after it was made useful)
Pre-CU I was Master BH + Carbineer for some time. (Also BH + Scout, while Scout was required, think I dabbled in novice ranger a bit, too)
Post CU or NGE (can't even remember) I tried Master BH + Pistoleer. (And briefly BH + Commando, which wasn't so great, really. The flamethrower was fun, just wasn't very practical.)
I was planning a TKA + BH build for SWGemu. Think I had some pistoleer or something too. Point is, TKA + BH with just enough points for boosted defense from KD/Dizzy, etc.
But then I don't think I'll bother with emu, and if I do, probably only after the new "stable" release with no character wipes.
on my second account i had a bh/carbineer to hunt jedi, was kind of weak so i made him a tkm/investigation 4. most jedi would just run when they saw me lol
i dont think emu will be wiped until they reach final release, people are crying for a wipe but honestly i doubt they'll go back on their word. jedi isnt ingame though, so BH is only good for eye shot/fire kd :P
Novice commando, smuggler xx4x, bh xx4x, mpistoleer,
before they nerfed this in like the first 3-4 months you could use a linger pistol to spam all of the pistol shots. LD at 64 meters was some funny stuff.
I absolutely loved this Pistol template back in the day, I think it is almost exactly what I used, but its hard to make the templates we all used to love work in pvp correctly on Emu. Until the code is working it comes down to the Fotm that is effective at the time of the current patch.
My favorite Pre-cu templates were...
- TKM, Doc/CM With Famine's Poisons and a high dmg VK- This was a Jedi Killing template towards the end of pre-cu. Highly effective for depleting force and great against non-jedi also. TKM is such a balanced class and if you have some badass poisons you are set.
- M Pistols mix template
-M Pistols / M Fencer (Back when there was no Dodge cap and literally no one could hit me)
- MCH / 0040 Commando This was my most enjoyed template. I used this early in my SWG time. Dual Graul Maulers and a flamethrower against players that hardly knew the game mechanics or what kind of armor they should be wearing was great. Bestine vs. Anchorhead battles were so epic.
Good times. Best part of the game is the almost infinite combinations of templates you can put together.
lol, not from wander home...i'm from Ahazi. Came across this thread while googling best pvp template for swgemu.
anyways, you guys talked about fencer/pistoleer stack and rifle/CM....i'm talking about the early days of Pre-CU like the first 4 months of the game and before SWG fixed dodge and before Comp armor got buffed there was one godly template- pistols/BH/smuggler.
btw, everyone in SWGemu is some sort of a dodge stacker. you'll get owned being anything else.
One of the best things about SWG was that your template would be different depending on what was happening on the server. For example, when I first started PvPing, CM's destroyed everybody, people got fed up with that and started adding Doc to their temps, then people went back to TKM/Fencer stacking to better CC the people who rolled doc and so on. Very much a flavour of the month thing.
