I was considering master TKA...but man....is that worth it? It seems that ranged is so much more effective.


Then I considered doing 4 3 4 4 in medic


then 4 0 4 3 in medic and boost up ranged support



bleh so confused




master smuller/pistoleer what should I spend the rest of the points in?

With Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer ... the only other Elite skill you can Master is TKA.


The meditation line is great, the ability to have Ranged & Melee damage mitigation 3


The ability to cause serious damage to anyone that gets too close ...


Go the triple Master + Ranged Support 1


** The other options for Ranged I considered were Smuggler/Commando with a little Rifleman or Smuggler/Rifleman with a little Commando **

I'm adding TKA Meditation and the rest into medic.

it really depends on your play style. While pvp wise pistols are not the best for dmg and really neither is tka now the triple master makes a great support character and tank.



If your inclined not to melee then I would definatly get the meditation line, go up the ranged under marksman and get as much left over in medic as you can.

Doh, can't edit.


I have 3 more points left.



Which should I put them in on the medic line? 4-1-0 0 4-0-1-0 or 4-0-0-1

I was thinking Master Smuggler Master Pistoleer, TKA Meditation, and Medic, plus some scout and Artisan.

Well, remember, you CAN do that as you're leveling up. Need stuff built for your splicing xp? Go ahead...you'll have plenty of skill points. However, once you get to your endgame, then you'll have to give up your scout and artisan points if you wanna master something else.....but by that time, you won't be needing to use artisan stuff and the sort anymore.



Just a thought. Remember, your template now probably won't be your endgame template.


Like me...I have scout nearly maxed just to help me level up...but once I'm fully leveled, I'm dropping it all for a better endgame template.

Trust me you will LOVE TKM if you want to be a tank. Of course you will have to rely on buffs and brandy and Ahrisa or canapes, but you will be a near unstoppable killing machine. It was fun for a while, but it got boring because I NEVER used my pistols except to low blow fleeing mobs

Question...what's the point into going full meditation? The description says it's all to help unarmed combat....but I won't be doing a lot of that.




going master smuggler, master pistoleer, rest into medic and maybe ranged support. If meditation is actually that useful, I can drop some medic and put points into meditation.



What exactly is the point though? What does it do? All I see is +meditation.....and some self buff.

The flamethrower line of commando goes well with smuggler and pistoleer cause you get the low blow from smuggler and the knockdown in the pistoleer at which point you can plant a nice flame specialdot on your opponent.


Not to mention all thepistol specials that can be used on the commando's launcher pistol.

When I started TKA ... I thought I was going to hate it. I am a ranged combat type of person, but I really like it. I have not heard anyone that has had the triple master say that they did not like it ... (there may be some 'better' stuff) ...


I would love to try out other stuff, but I don't want to lose meditation...and I don't want to lose Pistoleer ... so I am stuck on the Triple.
