I've now been given the crystal twice by the old man and twice i 've been killed by the sith shadows...... and I'm CL 80 MasterFencer, TKM, medic 4020 and master brawler.


What is going on? or am i totally missing something since the CU! As tkm you could take on everything, now i can take on nothing! What am I missing? Anybody?

It sounds like you need to learn to play with the new combat system. TKM isn't the powerhouse it once was. With your template I would keep TKM for the defense, powerboost, meditate, but use fencer moves as your attackssince they do more damage than TKM moves.

You, my friend, have been 'balanced'.


I'm afraid this means that you'll have to hire a couple of bodyguards while the sith attack is imminent and have them trail you everywhere. While my guildmate was expecting the sith (makes it sound like he was pregnant) I never left his side while he was online or outside a building. Other than that it's just going to be a case of trying to isolate one of those vader-lovers at a time to finish them off.


Sorry I can't be more constructive, but the only way my guild did it was to be part of a group.


Anyone solo'd them? would be interested to know how.

Are you using Center of Being? With COB running you should be able to take on these 2 very easily with your TKM moves only. Also make sure that you do not have any TKM weapon equipped, you do way more damage barehanded (Haven't tried the Katarn Knuckler). Your fencer weapon will be better damage output but will lower your defense compared to barehanded I believe.

Start COB, do a knockdown on one of them, armor break and then alternate Combo Attack and Melee Strike and they are dead in 5-6 hits, rinse repeat on the other. In the village this previous phase 4 (post-CU) I was doing the healing quest and was drawing all of the aggro for my entire group, had 5+ of these guys attacking me non-stop and with TKM/MDOC only was doing just fine. TKM kills slow but is still pretty tough defense wise, get used to the new system and you will find yourself soloing level 84+ stuff in no time

One thing I did that helped is to run from the initial encounter (burst run). They'll eventually retreat and hang around some point near to where you were when they attacked. Once they retreat, you can pull them one at a time (they'll wander away from each other like a normal spawn) using a ranged attack. Or, you can call friends in to help you, etc...

I am a TKM, Master Pike, Master Brawler, and Medic 1 0 4 0.

They jumped me while I got off a shuttle in a player city.

I saw the red dots so I had time to active my COB macro.

I charged the close one and imtimadate, war cry , sweeped him , then armor breaked and wopped up on him.

I had to baca spray myself and once used the medic injection for heal for 1k.

No time to power boost.

Killed him.


Then went after the second one. did the same as above but was much easier without some guy shooting me in the back. did not have to heal fighting the second guy.


Note on COB. It will not active if you walk/run during its powerup. So you need to think if you want to have follow on or not.

I use follow but have to hit COB manually if I was moving when my Macro when off.


A defence template is really good when you get jumped. I may not be able to do 3k damage like a swordsman. but I only get hit for ~54 points if I have COB and intimatation on the mob .

I'm not sure, I use to play a TKM pre CU myself. But I do have a friend who is a TKM/Master Swordsman/Doctor 4000 and he was fighting 2 level 82 gurks when the sith attacked and fought all 4 with no problems and killed it all. He fights Mokk's 4 at a time too level 82. Just keep CoB up at all times and use your best damaging weapon, him being Swordsman his Power Hammer is nice I'm not sure about Fencer Stun Batons anymore. Keep at it and Good Luck!

I took on a sith shadow when I was on my own. He took about 1/4 of my health away before he dropped dead. Dunno about two on me. There were two, but I only aggroed one by pulling him away.
