That's the advantage of being a TK, You don't have to be clad in armor to get similar results. I am pretty sure that this was intended.
No, it's been stated that when wielding another weapon your TK armor does not work.

I believe it was stated that you could wield any melee type of weapon (Brawler Elite) and specials for any profession (TK's using Swords)

yep your TKA armor does not work if your using a class spec weapon. TKA armor is very nice but it doesn't match a good suit of battle armor

Ok, I'm not exactly sure if the tka armor carrys over when you use a fencer weapon, so i ran some tests on TC with TKM and Master fencer.
I fought a few pikets, these were my results:
acid sword with armor: 53 kinetic damage, 53 damage of 104 absorbed
acid sword without armor: 53 kinetic damage, 53 damage of 104 absorbed
unarmed weapon without armor: 51 kinetic damage, 51 damage of 101 absorbed
In summery it looks like... ok i dunno what it looks like... lol any input?
I think i could get better results on live, but I can't respec until tomorrow, so if anyone has already tested this, please speak up

Your TKA armor does work however if you are only weilding another proff weap like myself i use stun baton and tka armor works. I just wear a kickass robe and hit people with the baton It is very fun!
It is very fun!

...lurking.. 
TKIA (TK innate armor) works fine while holding any melee weapon. i'm not sure if it works while holding a ranged weapon.
and it's on par with 6000 battle armor, afaik.

I get armor messages with an RSF sword eqipped, but wearing no armor other than innate armor.
I read that a PSG will not cancel out innate armor.

the reason for the 3 points of dmg difference between the two weapons is not b/c of tkia but b/c your defs are higher with unarmed wep due to the mods with tka.

TIA should work atALL times unless you have on ARMOR. As far as your results: All the weapon types have there own specific defense. You should have gotten better results with tk since their unarmed defense is 75 as opposed to one hand weapon defense which is 40. If you were wielding and unarmed weapons this might be the source of the problem because i think it is bugged. Someone correct me if im looking at something wrong

after looking at it again it seems as if unarmed weapons ( if you were holding one that is) actually act as one handed weapons. I could be totally wrong but it looks that way to me.

If you look at what he posted he said with a one handed weapon he absorbed 53 points of damge out of 104 points and with an unarmed weapon he absorbed 51 points out of 101 points. That is same percent as the one handed weapon when (due to higher mods) he should have absorbed more than 51 points with the TK weapon equiped
