Thread: Going TKA for defense mods
As far as I've been told, you only get the TKA defense when you are unarmed or have a vk equiped...as soon as you pull out a Flame Thrower or other Heavy Weapon, you'll lose the TKA defenses...so they are basically useless in this case...
I thought about getting TKA to prevent sneak attacks when I'm unarmed...but then I realized I'm rarely unarmed...lol...so TKA's defenses wouldn't help me much...
Some of the TK mods apply and others dont, Unarmed toughness only applies when you're unarmed, The ranged defense mods and stuff do apply all the time I believe..
Did anyone else look at power boost? I know its not as good as doctor buffs, but if you're on your own, being able to "pump yourself up a little" at the loss of some mind looks pretty good to me, I've been told the boost lasts for 10 minutes or so, so personally I think that could help, and as far as the amount of mind it uses... pop a muon gold hehe.
Thats the other reason I'm going TK![]()

With regard to /powerboost, when all is said and done, you get a boost in all primary pools (health, action, and mind)for about 10 minutes at Teras Kasi Master level. The amount boosted is 50% of your normal mind pool. So if it is 1000, you get a 500 point boost in your HAM. Obviously a higher mind pool is rewarded well.
1600 = 800 point boost to all stats!
As far as defenses go, they do help some, but the damage taken at 250% is still going to make commando unbearable in melee. You will ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO switch to unarmed in melee or you will die.
Will provide a dizzy kd (certain doom in pvp if dizzy hits), +30 range defense and +30 melee defense, some blind/dizzy/kd/posture/stun defense, and most importantly the new improved power boost (easily take your mind into the 2k+ realm with spice/food). Furthermore, will provide meditation to cure poison and bleeds.
You don't need master unless you want to do the damage while unarmed. I put the points I would have used for master into pistoleer 0-0-4-0 for some shots and even more defense against state effects.
I am a Master TK and if my flamethrower is in hand I can get killed as easy if I was not a TKM. The TK mods are meaningless while any ranged weapon is equiped.
Yes power boost helps some.
hey if you want mods..go pistoleer: pistol techniques
the tier 4 of that branch has a +30 def vs KD (a bit larger than our measly +5 eh?) and tons of other mods (that i cant remember atm since im 99% asleep
)
hey guys im already a master TKA master COMMANDO, Look at the pistoleer 3rd tree they have better defenses than a TKA. Pretty sad when pistoleer get better defenses than a melee(
