I play a TKA Pikeman myself... Strange that people are keep going past the fact that TKA does, only do Kintic damage(oh for the love of god with the Razor VKdiscussion... Heat is almost as useless)... 80% Resist compsite, and everyone got the defenses they need..... Strange that TKA unlike the othher standard combat classes(Rilfeman, Pistoleer, Fencer, 2H Swordsman, Pikeman, carbineer) Does not have ANY kind of dodge, counterattack or block... Instead they get a little overrated skill called Power boost, and people are talking like it's a buff.. Very short effect, and always dry off in a duel(in my experience)
You're getting into a different issue here... the fact that composite is too powerful (sorry folks). There is no piece of equipment in the game that should make you as nigh-immune to almost everything as composite does. I would, honestly, rather see Composite keep very high stats, but only in a few places. Let the armorsmith pick what he wants the high stats to be... kinetic, heat, stun, and restraint? Energy, electricity, cold, acid, and heat?
That's just me though.. I think, more than anything, Composite needs the nerfbat.

defensive acuity and cob dont work on tk's.
fencers avoid blows
tks absorb them
and even if defensive acuity worked, what will it work with? tk's dont get dodge or counterrattack or evade as skills. it' slike putting +15 block on a power hammer. who's it helping?
been master tk since the game launched, and am also master swords, guess which i use more.
used to be master pike at one point too..you have my condolences

def acuity doesn't work
CoB works for them! IT BOOSTS THEIR MELEE/RANGED DEFENSE
