"i know its cool to have weapons but c'mon people UNARMED means no weapons"
I'll give the standard answer to this all-too common complaint.
First off, Teras Kasi means "steel hands". What's more appropriate than covering your fist in a metal blade?
Secondly, there is no such thing as an "unarmed attack". Even if you're not holding anything in your hand, your hands and feet are weapons themselves. So you can never literally be "unarmed", ever.
Finally, a vibro knuckler is not really a weapon, technically. It's a damage enhancement. Your fist is still doing the damage, the knuckler is merely adding damage to it. It's like putting a spike on an axe; the spike adds extra damage to the axe, but it's not a seperate weapon in and of itself. The game mechanics even support this: a VK's damage is simply added to the damage that the TKA would normally be doing without the VK.

We really need another dmg type, I really do not care if this is dropped to about the norm for VK's but as armour is almost always 80% kinetic resis atleast tk's really need another dmg type for PvP purposes, otherwise we really cant scratch anyone :/

Well, armor is usually 80% everything else too. Another damage type isn't going to help much in PvP unless you start asking us to have lightsabers, and trust me, you do NOT want to go down that route.

Heh, I almost choked when I first skimmed over the post. Brought me a good chuckle after I reread it though

Truthlly TKM is the most useless PVP profession standalone except kd now...Im unsure what he problem is but I can barely scratch anyone in a GCW conflict. Its possible that we get some kind of new weapon with AP2 or somethin or well TKM will become redundant with fencer (stun) pike (poison disease fire) swordman (blast with excellent mind hit)...
TKM isnt as good as it once was really

Second, this VK was made with a NS motor dropped from an elder, using a rare schematic and the best resources out there. This would be one of the best you will ever seen, and with a good 30% damage slice on it it would probably surpass 300..
NS elder motors were needed to make one, not optional. Hopefully they wont be mandatory once the CB comes out

Last I heard, these new knucks won't require any ordinary loot motor, but the Nightsister Vibro Blade Units that only Axkva Min, the Nightsister Queen herself, drops.

Maybe they've changed this requirement and I didn't hear it, but if it's still true, it will limit availability somewhat. She's a fairly tough cookie for those who aren't properly prepared.

Nah, you wanna know what limits the availability?
THEY'VE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME.

Well, I'm planning to. I just hope my plans and the Developers' plans sync

No no, what they need to do is give us a lightsaber knuckler. It should be 900-1000 damage and AP 3. Then when the nerf crys come we can just stand in the middle of starports wielding the colours of the rainbow, all the while laughing, laughing at the pathetic mortals who WISH they could be like us, but the thing is the devs will put a cap on the amount of TKA there can be and that cap will be the same as the amount of TKM we have now. We will become more uber than Jedi and ALL will /bow before us, even TH!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
