...but I dont find the KD cost to be as bad as everyone is screaming about. "unequip VK, KD, equip VK, attack, unequip VK, KD, equip VK, attack" is working very fine for me. maybe it's just the joy that as a 0/1/0/0 TKA I can now take down greater desert womp rats, mountain dewbacks, and moutain worrts by myself and my Bantha. I dont veiw TKA master as a final destination though. In PVP if I happen to get in close to some smelly Imp =D I'll knock him down, and beat him Bruce Lee style. I'f he runs, i'll use my pistoleer to get em Dirty Harry style. I never had KD pre-nerf though, so maybe it's just that I wasn't spoiled and upset when my bottle was ripped away.

In itself, the additional cost is not too bad ... it can even be rationalized, as long asyou bend every idea you ever had about profession balance/integrity, PvP viability, and the absurd need to use macros. In the high-end of the game, however, KD (as it is now) is just apoorly executed joke with no punch line.

But after today's patch, it seems as if my Rally success rate has dropped dramatically.

Where lately I've been pulling a 30-50% success rate, this morning I was getting in the range of 10%. Actually, I rally'ed about a dozen times, and only once did it work[and naturally, that was the 'trial' when we were all in a camp...]

Maybe it was something with my group dynamics? I only had 2 other people, and 1 pet in the group.

Anyone else noticing this?

It does seem that after every patch someone gets paranoid about a stealth nerf. This time, it's me... LoL

I put up the exact opposite post last patch. Most likely you are just observing the extreme randomness of a skill with a miserly success rate.

I read in someone else's post (sorry can't remember which one) that /rally is more likely to succeed if you are not actually engaged in combat: I tried therefore to /rally my group before attacking and I feel the assumption is correct: Failure of /rally when being in a fight is as high as it had been before (having a *failure*-rate of about 7 or 8 times out of ten) but when I called /rally before issuing the order to attack I was able to *successfully* command it 6 times out of ten...
