As I do mainly P vs E, how does the tka handle the high kinetic defense found on a lot of creatures ? I've tried the llc, now using the flame thrower, which does a very good job even on heat res creatures. But I would like to hear comments before I lose master marks to take this up. I use these along with master CH. Any comments from the experts would be helpful.
Thanks

Well, creatures having high kinetic resist is one of the biggest disadvantages of being a TKA. Since we only have one type of damage and no DoT's, there is really nothing to do about it. That being said, we can deal a fair amount of damage so even if some gets eaten be resists there are much that goes through 
Of course some high end mobs have 100% kinetic and then there is simply nothing to do, with only TKA skills atleast

Agreed, TKA's rely on speed and damage.

hiya, just made master armoursmith 2 days ago, playing around with comp layers segs and gloves.
So far the best stats i can get are;
Kin Layer
Base 4%
Integrity 497
Enc10 on all
Kin eff 5%
Adv comp seg
Base 32%
Integrity 2098
Enc 38 38 40
Elec 10%
Kin 12%
Then when i shove this in a set of gloves
Cond 38514
Kin /elec 80%
Base 66%
Enc 70 67 72
Now for a first attempt i was quite pleased with this, BUT, i checked out a few other smithy vendors. They seem to have 80/80/71 base unsliced.
is this all about resources or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

probably resources...
your layers dont give you fractions so Im guessing either you are using low quality resources or you exp your base to 75% and stop there

hmmm looking at your special resists I would say that you are using resources that cap around the 75% marker maybe a bit higher like 80%
You need to find some better layer resources if you want to compete though better resources all the way though would help
Amlmost everyone can make 66% base with halfway descent resources

Pretty much what everyone else said...but don't fret your off to a good start.

Also...I may be wrong but are you using 1 exp point on the special on the kin layers? If so, max the base on the layer and put everything else into HAM. Doing this could give you potentially another 2 pts to the total base %. If this prevents you from hitting 80/80 then go back to what you were doing.
