Im a teras kasi master / master rifleman/master brawler. This is 2nd character I have 2 accounts . My first character is a Master Heavy Swordsman/ master doctor. I dont think ive ever won a duel aganst a teras kasi master with him buffed unbuffed doing nothing but mind hits aganst each other or what ever. Im dropping Teras kasi for pikeman atmI was going to do 2h sword with my 2nd character but with the bleed nerf that leaves MHS with only one real special and a cool hammer for pve and for me the 63 pointsI would have to spend for so little is too much.
I feel like any of the 4 melee classes should have a fair shot at beating each other in a duel. Im not talkin about stacked templates and sutch obviously somone with a stacked template vs somone without will fall in favor of the person with more defences . I just mean master brawler master pikeman should be able to hold his own aganst a Master brawler and Master fencer/ Swordsman/ Teraskasi.
It makes no sence to me how somone with a 220 or max damage Vibro knuckler can deal so hard and so fast in pvp when the max they hit for in pve is arround 3000. Ive hit for well over 5k with 2hs and 80% of the time I hit for 300 in pvp . as a Tkm I gennerally hit for more.
As a Master 2h sword ive stood toe to toe with a Master tka both doctors doing nothing but mind hits and he incapped me before I could take off 1/4 of his mind.
How is that fair for a Master of mind damage to be out damaged by a jack of all trades. Why does a Jack of all trades do more than a specialist of one. To me thats what Tkm is they can do everything why is it that they can do everything better.
I really dont understand what the Developers are thinking here It just dosent add up I dont want to be a ranged person , I dont want to be a TKM . I want to be Melee and still be able to compete aganst ranged people and TkM's alike.
If they take away defence stacking it will weaken a pikeman/ fencer/swordsman even more since we wont be able to pick up the defences that we were already lacking in the first place.
Im still gonna master pikeman because I want to but dam we dont want everything . But damn Just throw us a bone every now and then.

And don't forget ... they win with only THREE Line devoted to combat (They don't even need FoW or the other buff crap to win) while we loose badly with FOUR Line ...

TKM are pretty funny right now. It will be addressed... or people will all be TKM and this will be Star Wars Mortal Kombat.
Was the same in EQ at first... Necros were just brutal... then they got powered down... later it was enchanters... same thing.... it all will even out.
Hopefully it wont take 6 years like EQ has.
