8 Master fighters in a group, fencers, tkas, swords... and we are getting our ass kicked by lvl 82 flying bugs on Naboo...
What kind of rebalance sence does this make.
I don't have to be bullet proof, but hell.... we've gone from one extreme to the far opposite extreeme.
I've played in many different groups.... we all die, we all get incapped .... this is not fun... there is no great strategy i'm missing ... this is my Swg Hell.
Using COB does reduce the damage yes... but when u get aggroeed by a pack... are are dead in seconds.
I thought TKA SWORDS... could tank some...
I cannot tank any lvl 80 anything for longer then 30seconds.
This is rediculous.. its no wonder, why i've seen hundreds quit this game already. Hard to even get a good group together when so many are leaving.
This game is supposed to be fun.
Its no fun when everyone constantly dies... all lvl 80 master combat professions.

Either you are fighting a "boss"/"elite" creature or you are trying to fight all of them at once. You are not able to "tank" multiple creatures at once anymore. Think of it this way. You are and the creature are the same strength, if there is more of them than there are of you, numbers win.

You gotta pull the right level Bol missions. There are lvl 78 and 82 Bols as well as 38 and 62.

Innate armor of TKA... and Powerhammer.
'Master'... just seems worthless now.
When you use the TK armor, and have a sword equipped, you take alot more damage then you would either wearing armor or using a knuckler
(or so i've been told, i dropped TK and picked up fencer, and take alot less damage with armor than i was with tk's armor using my hammer)

Whoever told you whatever it was about TKA was mistaken. TKA innate armour works as long as you have no other armour on.

You say, "there is no great strategy i'm missing". I agree.
All I can think of is that you're missing the most basic strategy.
Are you charging into the middle of a pack of mobs that are all two levels higher than you and expecting to win easily? I don't understand how "8 Master fighters in a group" can get wiped by a pack of level 82 spineflaps if you have even the most minimal of strategies.

I tanked level 82 dewbacks sometimes 3-6 at a time in an AoE group all week during this double xp week. Trust me center of being is your friend. You'll do fine as long as you make sure it's always up.

m.brawler/m.pike/m.swords(although might as well be m.fencer, as pikes have better dps than any sword/hammer since CU ive found) and 3430 medic (which adds decent group healing) = great tank

I can solo a level 80 Jedi Knight that isn't M Defender and so far I have killed 2 BH's at the same time with Master Swordsman/Master Pikeman...... I was gonna add TK Meditation to that but haven't gotten around to it heh 
Swordsman is probably the strongest non-Jedi Cbt Profession in PvP 1v1 if you use it right

I'm Master Brawler/TKM/Master Swords/Pikeman x14x/Medic xx2xand I was grouped with another guy at Master Brawler/TKM/Master Swords/Fencer 4xxx/Pikeman xx4x plus some ranged guys and we were hunting Bols on Dant (they don't group aggro) and we were kicking bootie. The two of us were doing more damage than the rest. The other guy had better defense than I did but not by much and I could heal with Bacta Shotplus use mystim D's to keep me in the fight. What kind of weapon are you using and what armor are you using?
