ive had an issue with this.. Why should TKA get 6k def in elemental and energy?? kin sure thats fine makes perfect since. But heat, acid, energy?? soo some combat skills would protect there bare skin when i toss them into a fire? Even a jedi who are supose to be the most powerful beings in the galaxie dont get this kinda protection atleast not in this way.
6k battle suits are hard to make you need tons of good stuff. im hiting over 90% in all stages and not getting to the 6k.
We have to use tons of incredible stuff to get to 6k which a tka gets for free. Also what about those people in assault or recon that always will have a whole. To me Tka is really blowing this whole balance give/take thing outta wack. bascially a tka/commando or tka SL, or tka BH has 8k kin, 8.5k energy, and 6k in every thing else.. no other class combo can come close to this def (thats a nice suit of assault and a PSG) top it off with health suit and a bunch of skill tapes and adk.. is there anything that can even come close as far as skill/armor based prof? to me this is way way way outta balance. Unless a tka loses all natural def when putting on armor.. i dont know if they do.. i guess if they did it would atleast be a start. But still energy and elemtal att 6k needs to go.

Obviously you do not know SW Lore. The TK were the "checks" of the "checks and balances" formula concerning Jedi. Should the Jedi get overbearing, the TK's were there to bring them back into balance. They are supposed to be the only class out there that can take a Jedi.
The problem is that people can cross-combine TK's with another classes. They should not be able to do that. TK should be TK and maybe Ranger at most... they should not be able to combine with other classes as their order is required strict meditation and discipline in order to keep the balance.
And many jedi were at Least TKA's some were even TKM's. That training was part of the Jedi acadamy, to not know how to fight unarmed incase you ever lost your saber is rediculous. TK's may have been formed to counter Jedi, but Jedi learned their skills.

As to the other point, there is some obscure evidence that Darth Maul for example integrated some TK techniques, which certainly makes sense if you watch his last big fight scene.
Indeed My combat toon was a MTK before CU. Tried ti abit after Cu didnt like it. ANd it didnt go well with ranged professions like commando as commandos dont get any special attacks and while their weapons do have 'specials' built in. The only one worth using for a commando is really the plasma flamethrower. As no other commando weapon can come anywhere NEAR the damage output of a plasma flamer. I tried that combo too. Doesnt work. Youc an tank like ther'es no tomorrow but your damage otuput remains pretty much crappy as hell.
TK goes well with any melee proff on the other hand. Just like most ranged professiosn combine togeather quite well. But there's a good reason why not everyone is a TK and hel if anythign there's less TKs now than there was pre-CU.
