Thread: MBH/TKM
- Defender/MLS will outheal,outdmg , and "out armor" you.
- Smart Non Defender will root you and kite you to death. (since you can not heal well)
It all comes down to if you are having fun with it.I always wanted to make an MTK/MPowers character, and I still might someday.. I know he will not be "Uber" but I think It may be a lot of fun

MBH/TKM was the easiest BH kill I ever had. You won't stand a chance as a half ranged half melee profession. And to top that, you won't have any decent healing. A very broken template IMHO for PvP or PvE with lack of healing.

I would agree, from my experience you need to stack ranged w/ranged and melee w/melee to get best results...otherwise half of your SP are going to alot of things that do not benefit you, unarmed acc/spd for example will do nothing for you when using ranged against a jedi or really any boss marks, and not to mention half of your specials are useless at all times.

The innate armor is tempting, I will give you that...and having to replace armor is a pain but I cant see any possible way for this template to be effective or have any realistic shot at taking down a jedi, I would think you would have some real trouble even with boss marks.
to correct myself, not half of your SP but a good portion.
Right well I AM MBH TKM, and I dont find it to "suck" as badly as most people seem to think, Ive been running the template for some time, and with good weapons PvE is Easy. Yes it takes up more SP than a ranged BH, but your BH specials are not wasted you can still use an over powered ALR, you can still use a FWG, you can still use the hicap scatter, a proton carbine etc etc, I often open with a underhand shot torso shot critical, then swap to katarn knuckles hit the Centre of Being and watch the mark miss miss miss miss hit for 14 miss miss, etc etc.
I have novice medic, +25 in healing mods and a droid with a 110 rated medic module, and I have stim D's and ruby bliel thats plenty of healing. innate armour saves money, and allows you to wear clothes that dont deterioate with use, which means no ADK necesary to protect your investment in ca's. Remember the droid is also a Damage over Time weapon, group with him, get him to attack AFTER you have opened on a mark, and he will sit there acting as a nice little dot, as well as boosting your heals hugely.
This is the stats on the Katarn Knuckles weapon for TKM, havent had these sliced yet, with a 8% damage and 2% speed slice these will be even more dangerous, remembering thats kinetic damage.
Knuckles
I can take on the double gold boss marks, normally without running mind action or health below 90%
The downside is Jedi, you will be in sabre range and witha nice sabre thats not a good place to be, but as a BH surely you shouldnt be looking to duel toe to toe with a jedi and instead looking for the easy kill, wandering around witha TKM tag wearing clothes, makes jedi feel safer, till the second you pull out you huge damage ALR and unload on them when they are already weak.
TKM MBH DOES NOT suck in PVP its just not uber against everything, I can take on Melee stackers nicely by kiting using my MBH moves I can take on ranged professions my underhand shotting them down and getting into melee range CoB is awesome for damage mitgation, TKM innate armour is 6k both energy and kinetic resists, and you CAN stack Duelist stance CoB whenever you switch weapons. Melee \ Ranged Hybrid isnt as powerfull in one area as pure ranged or pure melee, but it has the ability to pick and choose what sort of attack you want to be running, I like having the mixed bag of tricks, get the strategy right and its certainly not a gimped combo.
Forgot to mention my nemesis with this combo in PVP is Combat medic, their fire DoT, finishes me very quickly ![]()
