IF u stick to master TKA that will be all u need...no need for other brawler profs unless u want to equip a wep..

Most TKA will CH to help along in the damage taking...

Curently Im only working on unarmed combat. Almost done with TKA fundamentals and hopefully will keep on going until i reach TKA.

I was hoping on getting some suggestions on to which other mele profesion I should follow. I was thinking pikemen. One of the reasons is basically the look my character would get by using a vibro lance. My clothing looks very similar to that of a Crimson or Imperial guard. Of course the weapon of choice for crimson guards is the vibro lance.

I was also thinking that since Im unarmed (fastest but weakest), why not go to the compleat opposite in the melee branch and use the polearm branch (slowest but toughest).

I would like any suggestion on which melee branch would be the best to compliment my hopefull and future TKA.

agree after mastering TKA, you might aswell move on to another profession(I suggest CH, CM, or maybe doctor.). Because TKA is the best melee class at the moment(mounts will allow other melee classes to attack while on mount, TKA wont be able to. thats what i heard atleast.). If you really got you heart set on getting another melee class though, go with 2h swordsman the 2h cleaver is the sweetest looking weapon i have ever seen(i havent seen a scythe yet though.).

BTW Polearm is the slowest and most vunerable of the melee classes but do the most dmg.

Well as for Pikeman being the slowest i would say at base speed yes. I have my LVA sliced to 3.0 which is basically down to min with my speed bonuses. As for doing the most damage i must laugh...hard. We are the most borked melee profession. We are supposed to do the most damage but do nothing close

hahaha first tiem ive seen a triple....

Touhnesses do not stack up and a BH will still kite and kill you with there famous eye shot spam

I am considering bein a Master TKA/Fencer/Pikeman so then HOPEFULLY i can tank something...

i have figured it up and i would get

77(%?)Melee defense (thats huge)

62(%?) ranged defense

+25 dodge

+20 block

so i will block or doge 45% of the time

80(%?) Kockdown defense

100(%?) Posture change defense

If the toughnesses add up i will geta total of 119, but I have no real reason to belive they do

85 Combat Equallibrum

30(%?) to blind

40(%?) to stun

45(%?) to Dizzy

20 intimidate and

10 alertness

i only added up the stats that i thought would cross over and combine.

does anyone know if the toughness' combine?

oh,

oh, and i would have 4 skill points to spare, SWEET!

any thoughts on that plan?

I was thinking about doing a TKA and a Ranger combo. I am not a newbie to the game, but a newbie to both the Brawler and Scout classes. I was wondering if this is a good combo. The main reason that I don't want to go CH is because I hate the thought of simply storing pets in a data pad when they are not being used, just seems too pokemon. Also, I have a friend that is going BH, so he can do plenty of damage.

The only problem that I am having is when I am group with him, his damage far exceeds mine even when he isn't doing his special shots. So he can kill the mobs before I can even get a swing in. This there any suggestions to help me speed through the Unarmed tree and get to TKA so that my damage output can even come close to his damage with the ranged weapons?

TKA is strongest of all the melees.

Pikeman is weakest of all the melees.. (Slowest but toughest my ass.. there's a reason I am not going Pikeman as the new character.. Too much work for no reward)

The Melees rank like this

1. Strongest TKA

2. Fastest TKA

3. Toughest TKA

4. Swordsman

5. Fencer/Pikeman tied for gimpiest

It's a good combo.. works great if you're Trandoshan too. =) (+10 Harvesting, and the boosted unarmed skills)

I was a Ranger/TKA, but Ranger took so many points (also had CH) that I had to pull out of Ranger. My particularly spread of points was awful in pvp. ~J
