hmm... I'm already have a tkm, and I'm working on a fencer (Not holo related). There both good classes, I would think the tkm has some advatages though atleast with the powerboost, but fencers has there own also(dodge). I've heard Fencers say there barely or never lose toa tkm and tkm say the same.... An being a tkm I can say the extract same thing... So what do that mean? Nothing at all. Skills are nothing if you dont know how to use them, and the people that now how to use them are going to win more battles. Just like I can say I've taken down alot of bounty hunters (Cause they sucked and only spammed eye which is crap with a good helment). But lost to a bh who actually knew what to do by keeping me a distance acutally use other attacks then eyeshot and more then his scatter pistol. Wether you go fencer or tka you can still win a good amount as long as you learn how to handle things. Your not going to win them all which is where I say tkm is better. Cause even though a commando's flame may not even hit half the time when it does you still get nasty wounds. So tkm self wound healing is wonderful (hate tacking down medics or having to fly to another town) Good luck which ever way you go. Neither skill has big enough advantage or disadvantages so that you would be considered no way possiable to win against another.

It all depends on who gets the first hit in the duel

Bull**edit** the only reason anyone is ever saying they can own tka's is because da is still broke once that gets fixxed fencers are **edit**ed again.

At master level both have about same speed. Tka does more damage but in PvP currently CD on fencers with high dodge makes them so hard to hit. In pve fencers have edge of fighting higly armored opponents due their bleeds and higher AP than Tka's.

What higher AP? We have only one armor peircing weapon, the vibroblade, and it has the same stats as the VK (with no unarmed damage boost like TKAs get). Swordsman has the highest APs overall. Half their weapons have AP 2.

ye i ment tka had high speed was abit busy when i wrote that post

And fencers can do stun damage which ignores most armor while tka can only do kinetic .

Just by the way ... has anyone seen a single doge coming out of an intimidated baldemaster ? i havent ......

"Well, I'd say that bleeds are slated for some balancing and therefore any edge from them will probably be lost (currently bleeds are rather powerful because they ignore armor). But then everything is going to be rebalanced soon.

StGabe."

Bah, that sucks. Bleeds are one of the very few advantages the other melee's have over tka's.

well im blademaster and intimidate does nt effect my dodge I know what does but hey that would be telling

While TKA *is* stronger for raw damage output, that's far from everything. If two characters were to fight, with no skills used from other classes, passive or active, a Blademaster is far more likely to win. If both are in armor with heals and melee defenses added in, it becomes more even.

The real question for who wins a fight between these professions isn't so much how much damage a hit, etc. It's how they fight, use their specials, and how well they play their class. The only melee profession I've fought against that seemed seriously lacking and underpowered was Pikeman.
