Thread: TKA Uber? Try me in my 80% kinetic comp
Eosa Eelo: NOOB EXTRAORDINARE!!!master pikeman
- I dont know, perhaps you can weara VK to balance the AP Light, so now its dead even
- Followed by a dizzy/KD to drop the resists to 40%
- A good stun to lower defenses...
- Followed by a nice Intimidate
- And then just do mindhit1 with every 3rd or 4th being a dizzy while keeping fingers in KD2/Lunge.

Thats If you throw out the fact that VK's are only light-armor piercing.
A t-21 is way more effective against 80% energy armor, than a set of vk's is against 80% kinetic.
I'm a master Tka,Master Rifleman, Fencer, and I will say , yes, there are certain advantages to TKA over some of the other melee classes.Most notably powerboost and meditate, but when It comes to damage over time , TKA's are NOT overpowered.And having only 1 type of damage(kinetic) makes it easy to know what kind of attack is coming , which in-turn makes it easy to defend against.
If you understand a TKA's weakneses, they are easily beaten...... I wear armor with 87% resists across the board,and I keep away from melee classes unless I wish to engage in melee myself.
Most of the people that cry about getting wtfpwned by a tka, would cry if there were as many master pikeman around ,and would cry if there were as many master swordsmen around,would cry if there were as meny fencers around.
Noobs freak out and cry nerf when they feel the power of a melee class at close range. HELLO....MCFLY.....We are MELEE,and as such, we have to get close.A melee classto be DEVASTATING at close range,or it makes melee classes pointless.
I am an MTKA. I was in a faction skirmish last night. I fought an imp swordsman, and he was fully buffed and had 80% composite (I was fully buffed also). I couldn't even get his ham to lower. MTKA are not uber when facing someone with 80% composite.
Hopefully the devs take that into account with the upcoming rebalance. It seems like everyone is on the nerf TKA bandwagon, and I don't understand it. We simply aren't that uber.

my pike is most affected by mitation 3 than any other class.....my 2 damage types are lightning & kinetic, the most resisted attacks on armor. i do 20 damage to tkm's when they are kded & dizzied w/ pole hit 3 & my 850 damage pike. believe me. you don't suffer.

The grass is always greener on the other side, no?
For all the TKMs who've never been a swordsman, fencer, or pikeman, make sure you don't *ever* complain (or even cliam not to be 'uber') on those boards. You'll be crucified out of ignorance alone. If you think you've got some 'weaknesses,' you have *no* idea of the plight of other melee professions. We don't just haveweaknesses - we have severefunctionality problems.There's a counter-argument in the wings for just about everything, but it's undeniable that TKMs are the most powerful melee profession in the game. The rest of us don't give a damn aboutthe TK profession orit's politics- we just wantour profession(s) *fixed,* much less working as well as yours.
Excuse me if I don't shead any tears
