Hey Katchico - Great post thank you.

Since you put so much time and effort into the PVP aspect of the game I pose to you a few questions that in your spare time I would really appreciate some help with.

My background - I've been enjoying SWG since the first week of November, and have been primarly a crafter before being sucked into the wraith of the little blue box. 15 professions later I thought I'd try a new aspect of the game and become more involved with PVP.

I am quite familiar with def stacking, "uber" templates. food/spice, macros, etc, but in battle I am quite novice at this point.

I have chosen not to have a def stacked template which I realize is probably not the best idea, but I enjoy having Master Doc along with Master TK - until I'm flat on my arse calling my opponent weak for not fighting me face to face - then being told not to whinethatit's all part of the game hehehe

(1) My biggest problem is with the KD/D that everyone seems to use. My first question is will Thakitillo add 95% (my crate is actually 98%) of your current def vs KD (which at TK is a lowly +20 x 1.95 = 39 Def vs KD), or does it actually add +95 to your base (giving a TKM +115) If so, is +115 enough? (FYI i just bought the Thak and havn't had a chance to test it out yet)KD/D imho is the absolute worst part of PVP (however I guess it does demand a toon concentrate all there sp's on PVP). Is there any other ways to combat KD? I've tried a macro that implores /stand; cure state dizzy, but never seems to react fast enough. I've been in quite a few PVP battles as of late, and usually am on my back in the first 5 seconds and really never recover from there, while I see most others in tourny's and such never fall down the entire battle.

(2): CoB - When using CoB you are unable to use any of your special attacks. I see many melee users implore the CoB quite often, but without specials is it wise to use when it's 1 v 1, and if not, when do you find it useful? Why do so many people use it when it takes away from your offense?

(3): Have you done any research on the Dead Eye Prototype. At master Doc I just made a crate of 25 (2 uses each) that are approximately +54% for 14.3 minutes. Just wondering if you'd had a chance to practice using the Dead Eye and have found it to be useful.

All in all my preparation is pretty sound. Sweet stun armor, a great VK, the best food and spice, macros to instantly cure all dot's and the common states, as well as instant macro's for armor and switchin panes on the fly. My practice methods involve constantly running around the galaxy declared and scrappin every chance I get (I quite enjoy this "rush" over any other part of the game).

Anyways, I'll quit my useless ramble now (at work and quite bored for the time being) - if you have ancomments for the above ?'s I'd really appreciate your time,

Thanx,

(1) : thak will give you the amount it says on the food to your raw stat .. example you have 35 def Vs Kd with thak ( 95) you would have a total def Vs Kd 130 .. i myself have atm a thak with 107 Def Vs KD but lets face it defense stacking is verry importand if you dont defence stack your in a verry big disadvantage ..

*i like to point out that most people use a combination of a dizzy attack and a posture change attack like lunge , or sweep .. first dizzying you and thenforcing you to alter your position thereby making you do the backflop on the ground the only person who can truely use a Kd attack with effect is a Tka using KD2 ( it has a dizzy chanse )

(2) : your wrong there , CoB doesnt prevent you from doing specials , berserk prevents you from doing specials CoB DOESN'T , CoB raises your defences and your defence chanses . it doesnt interfere at all with your offence .. im afraid you got that wrong .. but CoBonly worksfor part of it for TKM so don't bother .. CoB was designed to work on special defences like counterattack , block , dodge .. als TKM you dont have those so all that Cob does is raise your melee and ranged defences a verry slight bit ( between 5-10 ) its only usefull as swordsman or als pikeman or as fencer, unfortneatly TKM got a bad deal on that ..(

(3) : the dead eye prototype raises your acuracy .. atleast thats what it said when they patched it to work properly . lol before it made you mis more lol .. talk about a mistake . but now its rumord to work .. i havent ever tried it out .;seeign as i have yet to encounter sommone i couldnt hit after aplying stun ( lowers defences ) blind (yet again lowers defences ) intimidate ( lowers defences and the opontend dmg ) after those i hit 9 out of 10 attacks even against godly defence stackers

feel free to ask anythign else if you might need more info
