Having just now finished master unarmed (whew... finally!), I decided to take a break and try some polearm fighting. I used the wood pole and quickly achieved Interm. Using a reinforced combat stick at Intermediate Polearm, I could, to my surprise, hit with 300 damage. My Unarmed damage hovers around 200 using unarmed hit 1. I was just wondering if some of the Teras Kasi Novices/Students/Masters could tell me what level they were, and how much damage they dish out on average (just out of curiosity - I will get to TKA regardless of how "worthless" it is - just something about me, I have to do everything the hard way).

Thanks.

Bah.. just forget about TKA.

It's totally a joke now.

Become a pistoleer.. or a bounty hunter.

TKs hits a LOT faster than pikemen. Yeah pikes do big hits, but TK hits 4x faster.

I agree unarmed is a long haul but you hit ALOT more often and miss VERY rarely.

The tk tree starts off slow but with knockdown and the power tree (is that the dmg speed bonus tree?) you get ALOT better very fast huge dmg, quick speed and then you get meditation and power boosts on top afterwards its a long haul but MORE then worth it

Yeah those costs are steep i think around half that would be fair, i mean it was quite stupid being able to get KD then head to lok to solo 18000 hp things lol it was insane KD is the cruz of the TK profession and it should be so but an increase was needed but by that much ?? i agree its insane...

Can you advise me on what you did to complate Master Unarmed? I'm getting experience at waaayyy too slow a rate. (100-200 unarmed XP per battle)

I'm at Master Unarmed and also going the TKA route. As of last night, I was hitting on average for only about 70 or 80 points. But when using a special such as UnarmedHit1 or UnarmedStun1, I hit for maybe 180 or 190.

So it's been a challenge to time my specials to be their most effective. I'm still having fun, but wish that "unarmed" meant unarmed and that the damage and skill point requirements for TKA were adjusted accordingly.

Correction.. *was* worth it. Take a peek at the TK profession board after today's patch. There's about 200 new messages from today alone from folks basically abandoning the Tk class and/or SWG over the changes they made to us today.

In a nutshell, kd1/kd2 now cost 209 ham bare handed and a whopping 680 ham if I foolishly equip vk's. Being the bread and butter move of Tk's, especially higher in the TK trees, advancement in this profession will now be slow and painful. I am not talkign about no longer being able to solo reds and yellows - without a good knockdown a white con will kick your butt at higher levels of tera kasi.

Seriously, I'd pick another profession for now until we can convince SOE to make TK a viable class once more.

Basically to complete Master unarmed, I found creatures that where white cons and went after them over and over and over and ... On Naboo, Nightspiders were my bread and butter. I have found the advice others gave useful - first and foremost, you will last much longer just using attack and no specials. Bottom line, towards the second half of my quest for master unarmed, I got brave and started attacking yellows and reds. I died a lot, but killed enough to get some massive experience. Hope this helps a little. Be proud, you are taking the road apparently less traveled .
