That's actually easy:

TKA requiring Unarmed 4 and Polearms 4 instead would disallow the "triple melee master" combination.

No actually it wouldn't it would just mean that the triple mastery would swap to pikeman/fencer/tkm, as those three proffesions would only require three novice trees as pre requsites. There is actually only one solution to balance the melee profession SP with ranged,add a 14 Extra SP cost to the TKM trees, and make every melee profession require unarmed.

TKM would require Novice Brawler(15SP) + Unarmed Line (14SP) +TKM (63+14 SP)=106SP

Swordsmanwould require Novice Brawler(15SP) + Unarmed Line (14SP) +2h Line (14SP) +Swordsman (63SP)=106SP

Fencer would require Novice Brawler(15SP) + Unarmed Line (14SP) +1h Line (14SP) +Fencer (63SP)=106SP

Pikemanwould require Novice Brawler(15SP) + Unarmed Line (14SP) +Polearm Line (14SP) +Pikeman (63SP)=106SP

This would balance melee, making the unarmed line like the ranged support line in marksmanby having it as a requirement for all melee proffesions (which makes sense) A Dual Elite Melee mastery would then costexactly the same amount of skill points as a Dual Elite Ranged.

I suppose that would work.

I wasn't actually around right went the CU went live, so that leads me to another question:

What would happen to TKAs when they logged in for the first time after this change? How would the game reconcile the fact that they have elite profession skills without the prerequisites for them?

I had an alt that was a triple master pre-CU. Smuggler/TKA/Pistoleer. When I re-activated the account post-CU and logged in for the first time, the gameautomatically added the new prereqs for TKA, which put me into negative skill points. Because of this, I got a message stating that I had negative skill points and could not move until I surrendered some skills or respeced the character.
