Thread: Why TKM?

I have seen many recommend having tKM in your template but I am not sure why. Having improved COB is nice (however not sure 500 defense is that much better than only 250 with normal COB - at least not what I have seen with my Jedi), but that is available at 0100 TK. Am I missing anything?

Yes innate armor is nice but you can get about the same battle armor (and my female toon look damn good in padded lol)

To get the healing though don't you just need 4000?TKA?


Do you need to go to Master to get the armor benefits? Or is there a particular leg or two that does it as well?

Innate armor is spread out with quite a big chunk in master box. If you are going TK for innate armor you need to master

A lot of us old-school melee Wookiees (not that there are many left) picked up TKM just because we prefer fighting without armor.

Not only is good Wookiee armor tough to find, but even if you get some you look like a dork wearing it.

I'm not sure having Ily naked is much more appealing

I hate TK. I can't see a difference using basic COB, let alone Improved COB, which yes I did try once or twice. My COB macro also slows down my attacks since I have to wait for it to warm up every 30 seconds.


I submit that you're better off getting as much Fencer as you can instead: namely the defense and speed trees. This will also give you improved lunge, thus making anyone who roots you within 10m of themselves pay even more. You'll never use Innate armor unless you'rea TKM. There's more jedi able to heal wounds out there than there is Doctors, not that those 100 wounds you have are gonna make a huge difference anyway.

CoB at Master goes on for 45 secs and you don't have to wait that it stops to reuse it
With your natural armor at Master you have the same as with a 6000 battle armor without the costs and you can wear much BE clothes for terrain negotiation, defences, healing and such.
Powerboost give you another 500 in health and some defences more.
Mediate helps to recover from your wounds (onyl can say hat after 6 hours of group hunting I've at most 5 wounds if I wasn't incapped or killed)

Sure it is!

You can't tell me you'd prefer having a wicker basket tanking for you

LOL! Just last night for the first time since the cu I finally had some fun soloing my imp lizzy tkm/mbrawler/pike3/3/3/4/medic0/3/4/1 and 13 fs and was doing it in HAWT PANTZES! My buddy thought I was losin it... he's probably right...



So, might as well ask this here: As long as I equip NO armor pieces, using a pike I get the innate tkm armor, right?
