Ok this is kind of a braggin post...
Today i soloed not 1 not 2 but 5 peko albatross, only using 1 set of buffs (that means that i didnt die at all) stims moun and some of the new brandy (only 223 to all but still)

I agree that the bleed nerf is big, and my first strat for these birdies before the nerf would have been warcry2, mind bleed, mind hit etc. but this definitely proves to me that we still got it:-)

Ive been missing the shuttles alot... hows that for braging.

Really? Lol, perhaps so, but now TKA is the master of PVE or shall we compare?

TKA VK With unarmed dmg 296-350 2.2(as if that matters) DPS- 1400 AP1 There are less than 2 dozen ap2 creatures, less than 1 dozen ap3 creatures

Swordsman Powerhammer 152-452 3.1(Special) 2.1 at Master =2260/2.1= 1077

Oh yah TKAs are more accurate, have higher defenses, and are tougher, can knockdown creatures, whearas Swordsman posture changes only work on humanoids.

Hmmm.

Today a freind of mine (tka 1/2/1/1) and i (swordsmen 4/4/4/3) took out the whole detainment center on talus, she died 3 times, and i didnt die at all. only thing is i have full buffs/fiskak/49% full comp armor on. She has full buffs on too, so if i didnt have either the armor or the buffs i was dead before i reached the second floor.

2-3 hit kills what attacks do you use?

Not true. Just because creatures dont have a "kneel" animation dosn't mean they aren't affected by posture changes.

Try looking at the Target Icon next to its HAM bars. If you use a posture change it will show a kneeling icon.

I use a 634 perfect slice power hammer, add on a 16% max dmg powerup and thats 735

if someone isnt wearing a helmet they better watch out lol, i hit someone yeaterday for 950 dmg lol

on composite wearing enemies or enemies with melee mitigation 3 i first i intimidate, then bleed them(nerfed bleed is still ok :smileyhappy then headhita bunch of times.

intimidate works great against those 2ndary df stackers

I cant 2 hit melee mitigation 3 players but i still do amazing dmg. Just use all ur abilities to help u get the upper hand, i dont know how many people i fought who just spam the best move...u need to use all ur moves to get the most out of the professions.

Lol really a fencer can dizzy everytime, a tka can knockdown every time I get nothing but "you fail to change the posture of your target, over and over again

The people on your server must never have heard of buffs. Almost every imp PvP'er on Scylla has master TK a ranged elite usually rifle and dabbles in defense trees. Anytime they go out, or we go out for that matter they as are we, buffed, buffed on all stats. I ran up against one of these Master Rifle, Master TK, fencer, carb ect. He had 80% kinetic so standing toe to toe with me he unequipped his weapon and just stood there... we weren't dueling.. this was in the middle of a pitched battle.. He stood there and let me do whatever I wanted, the sword was doing 20 damage to him, but with super buffed constition he was regenerating faster than I was doing damage. I switch to power hammer even standing still I missed 16 times in a row. Switched to 2h axe to try and get around mitigation get a little better damage but not enough before he re-equipped weapon and proceeds to incap and kill me with the help of his commando friend.

Our weapons are nearly worthless, it's disgusting that someone could do more damage to that player with an uncertified Jawa Rifle than I could with Master Swordsman, Master Brawler using a sword!
