Buffed....Can do them all day long ... maybe throw a little brandy or muon if you want to lower the challenge a little ... TKA is a very high HAM profession.


Do a few lairs 2-4 ... meditate away the damage ... maybe go to a cantina ... and you are good to go (you can go longer ... probably able to do 8-10+ without having to go to a cantina ... if not more ...

How do you feel about having no terrain negotiation? I have thought of picking up a shirt with as much terrain negotion as I can get in it. I will also miss having the ability to milk stuff and get hides/meat for my guildmates.

I'm working on a PvE template right now, and I want master swordsman, TK 4004, and enough Pike to get the AOE dizzy and KD. I was wondering if any of you could help me out and leme know where to best spend my points in pikeman to get this. Thanks in advance

If you plan on hitting anything, you're gonna needto master theaccuracy tree.
If you plan on swinging faster than once a second, you're gonna need to masterthe speed tree.

If You want Area Attack 2 you're gonna have to master the offensive tree.
And if you wan't Sweep 2 you are gonna need Lv.3 defensive.

SO to be profficient at all you are going to need 4/4/3/4.


If you choose a weapon with high accuracy, like, say...a wood staff. you can probably ease off of the accuracy tree a little and save a few boxes. Of course you will swing slower.


And the faster weapons are terribly innacurate.


Did you know fencers have area blind, dizzy, and, you could use swordsmans sweep to posture down your enemies, that once dizzied would be as good as KD.


that might be a template that's easier on your points than getting pikeman for that.

Yea, but the swordsman sweep is as effective as attacking a Kryat with a wooden staff uncerted....even when they are dizzied ya can't knock em down (or posture down to be exact.) Swords actually has a dizzy too, but it hardly ever sticks. I might have to pick up 4114 TK, to get a decent dizzy KD....hm...now I duno what to do.

It dosen't stick that much as pikeman either.
Knockdown will rarely work on a high level anything as a piekman too.

Also, dizzy has 0 effect on creatures.


You cannot dizzy/KD a krayt. If you dizzy him, then knock him down, he will stand right back up.


So if thats your plan, you had better have that info in advance.
