MonsofoLexius (and anyone else who has something to voice out to the following musings), do you play buffed a lot? In all my time playing I have been buffed less than 10 times and have used medpacks to good measure. Is the damage mitigation in TKM level so much that no healing skills are needed? I plan to go unarmored (altho I have a couple of sets of good armor for different occasions) once I master if at all possible. Also I have dying count below 10 too so far. I am very much into PvE, not PvP in the slightest. Further I tend to pick critter missions versus human/humanoid missions.
I just sent out a mail teaser to a few tailors to make a custom BE clothes for my graduation as TKMbut I wonder if it is feasible to expect to survive without healing + unarmored.

FYI my fisrt Master Elite was Doc (second was Ranger) so I have had access to buffs for a long time, I used to buff the subs for HA on my pets for auto regen while they were tanking. SO Buffs may be more of a way-of-life for me than for others

While I do play buffed quite a bit now (the if you can't out-harvest em join em thing) I don't find it a necessity, as a TKM I can heal wounds very quick and regen damage well, cure poison and disease. The "powerboost" in TKM takes 550 (of my 1100 mind) and "buffs" my HAM primaries by that much for like 10? 20? minutes so I find that usefull when going non buffed. I use low level armor (bone, ubeese, whatever) with decent kinetic resists and low ham costs when unbuffed and going for mass graves. I do find musician buffs the best for me to use as it allows me to use more of the specials, which as an no-medic un-buffed TK you will find quite helpfull, Intimidate - Stun - Blind once stacked well the critters do far less damage to you.
But as buffed (Doc and Musian) and food usage with Power Boost I have gotten my HA to 4K with over 2.5K subs with close to 2.5K subs on mind for the super-tank Monsofo for the large scale PvE
