i dont downplay meditate, yes it is powerful, when you are master, before that its not all that great, i think PB lasts for 7 minutes at med4,and healing takes alot longer than people say, unless you are master most tk abilities arent all that great.so the stat is buff isnt all that overpowered, but also, dont downplay swordsmans aoe attacks which dont require master to be powerful, or the targeted mind attacks, i can kill much faster and cleaner with head attacks than i can with unarmedhit3, and if you try to tell me different ill call shenanigans on you, im a tkm/1/4/4/4 swordsman, so i know what im talking about, im not just another unknowing troll complaining about a profession i know nothing of. if youre having problems with swordsman kill spds, somethings wrong with you, or you are fighting things way over your heads with the wrong attacks. but again, medititate is really only useful with master, while all otherprofessions specials and such are usefull without mastery. everyone needs to stop whining for nerfs all the time, youre opinions dont really matter to anyone except yourselves and other trolls. the devs dont read these posts and they arent going to nerf tk just because you think they should. tkm is not overpowered, we have one dmg type, ap1 and no passive defenses. im tired of of people calling nerf on tk just because they are: 1. too stupid to stay away from us in a fight, 2.too stupid to know which attacks to use from their skilltree, or 3. too stupid to realize that just because they have a professions tag up doesnt mean thats all they are. see a pattern. i could throw up my master artisan tag and spam head hit, would you go to the artisan forums and troll?

lol im tka 2/0/0/0, i like pb 500 stat boost to the main pools are a big help in all fights. lol but i think everyone here has to admin if you get kd and dizzy you might as well go make yourself a sandwich cause your not getting up. As a MHS dizzy is the only state that gives me trouble if any, if you have hreat dizzy defense youve got very little to worry about.

PB is not 10 minutes no matter the lvl, it might be now, when i was a nov tk, i timed it, at med 2 it was 7 minutes exactly, only after master did it start wearing off with the muon.

If any of you were around when the game started you would know the reasonwhy tka is the better of the melee professions. The original intent was for TKA to be the true tanks in the game. That is why they get the most unarmed toughness, able to heal their wounds and able to deal the most dmg (They deal the most because they also take the most). And if you have never mastered tka or any other professionand don't know what it is like to be one,it is not your place tocall nerf.

composit is light armor, so it negates the vibro knuckles, then add on the 80% resistance and buffs he is doing around 20-30 damage... i am regening faster than they can take it off. i used to be tka master i do know what i am talking about

i havent heard anything about a tka nerf. but if they do change something, i think you should have to master brawler to get to tk novice. the profession isn't overpowered, its just a little too powerful for the amount of skill points it takes up.



and there was much rejoicing...

I dunno...I enjoy TKM, but the biggest limiting factor is the light AP and kinetic-only damage. You wouldn't believe how limiting that is.


Which is why I picked up Rifleman.

TKM does not need a nerf. one just needs to know how to play swordman. and trust me being a MHS for only 2 weeks does not mean you know how to play swordman to the fullest. hell i've been a master swordman for like 5 months and i dont think i can play swordman to it's fullest potental yet. even though i'm close i'm not there yet.


How ever there is only one problem with tka in pvp and that is damage mitration. it doesnt affect tka right as it does with the other professions. because no matter what weapon we use in pvp a MHS vs a TKM wih out armor or buffs a TKM will win due to the lack of mitration damage. they would do double the damage we would do per second if we would use a scythe/ 2-hand axe/ cleaver. 200-250 damage on average we would do opposed to 350-450 damage they would do per second. so that is like 2-3 hits and one is gone. and btw that is witout ether being kded.


also if both parties had armor and buffs and this armor is 80% kintic and like 80%+ blasta tkm will most likely win because they are not affected corectly from damagemitration. but once this getss fixed facing a tkm will bbe more of a 50/50 chance between a tkm and a swordman.


but other then that we rock in pve. Or at least i rock in pve. PVP to me right now is pointless to do. not fun right now when everyone is the same profession.

To be honest, since bleeds now suck, we basically suck at piercing armor as well. Medium AP does not do a thing to ignore armor defenses. It simply increases our damage a little.
