Thread: TKA and Smuggler good combo?
It depends what you want to do. In PVE its a great combo for soloing and group combat your a decent tank (low damage tho) that can switch and crowd control if needed. Very Useful.
PVP your low damage output can be a bother but your abilty to load states up on folks makes you very valuable in big battle and you are pretty tough so you can go to to toe with any one for a short time.
From a roleplay point of view it makes more sence than alot of combos for Smuggler since as a TKM you beast weapon is your barehands so thats pretty easy to slip past security.
The main weakness is low damage in group pve it means you have to work to keep aggro (yes you want to keep aggro your tougher then most of the rest of your group and if they are dead they are not doing damage) I think the taunt cool down timer is a bit to long to help keep the aggro on you but if you work with your group and they time their debuffs and nukes right its a very useful skillset.
I did this template for my Starsider Smuggler
Mainly for Roleplay, I didnt want to be donning Armor for a fight. I like it alot, I have GREAT Defense, also, it compliments the new changes to CONC shot VERY well.
CONC your target, put your weapon away, COB and close to mele range.
