I am relatively new to the TK profession, and have been hanging around the major PvP / PvE areas to watch the masters at work, seeing what strategies / techniques they use etc.

Everyone cries about TK being overpowered, granted, Tk is a powerful combat profession......BUT......you have to use it properly for it to be effective, you really have to plan your next move carefully, it's not a case of just standing there spamming the same stuff over and over again.

I reckon it takes a lot more work to be a successful TKA in PvE or PvP than most of, if not all of, the weapon-based professions.

Post NGE Force sensitive and proud of it!

I have seen lower level TK's than me that seem to make better use of the skills they have. It's a good profession, but it takes a good player to make that character great.

Overpowered? I'm sorry, I must disagree. Yes, you are somewhat overpowered. You are currently the best combat class in the game. Commandos do more damage, yes, but take a look at the Commando board and learn some of the horror stories about how freaking bad our (Commando) proffession is right now. The only good thing about our class is the flamethrower, and that's when it actually hits.

At least the players skill is taken into account in TKA. In Commando you double click and cross your fingers.

yea thats funny. Thats why a rifleman can use advance strafe for 4000 points of damage and mind shot for 2500 every second. and from 60m. Commando does 11000 damage with flamethrower. Plus they can put stuff on fire.

it's all about style...if you indeed spam only 1 or two attacks then you need to have your back get dirty once in a while... I gave up on PvP a long time ago but when I can solo a Ancient bull Rancor by planning my moves and retreats I feel pretty good about my chosen profession.

Also only yesterday I got cornered by a Nightsister elder who was doing force choke..thankfully I was buffed and procedded to knock her down and keep her down while I chipped away at her health...after 55 min she finaly died and I got 3032 credits and 4 identical Nightsister armor shards one of wich is gold.

TKM overpowered? Not at all - just working as it should. FIX the other professions so they too are working rather than nerfing one that doesn't need to be broken cuz some l33t n00b with a cdef pistol whines because they lost in PVP.

i cant believe there is a commado calling us overpowered, learn how to play mikey, commando is one of the most powerful profs in game, and you guys do unhealable dmg for insane amounts, maybe you should worry less about crossing your fingers and make sure youve crossed all your t's before you post nonsense in another professions board.

TKA are overpowering even I agree and I am one! Yestarday i killed a Master Swordsman and i only have 2/1/4/2 in Tera kasi, sure i used powerboost but still a master should be able to kill a non master anytime!

overpowered, of course you are, as the game tries to blend realism wwith stretching the boundaries of what you can and can do, tell me ever, in the course of events in a game or real life where an unarmed person ever won a fight with someone who has a gun. It's just not possible except in the swg galaxy. Go ahead and try to rationalize this all you want, but tka are so overpowered its a joke. Go ahead and come to a fight with some brass knucks, and ill come with a 9mm, a shotgun, any type of firearm you desire, and i will win the fight 100% of the time. Period

"ahhhhhyour from jersey should have guessed"

that brilliant and astute post brought to you by dankpuffer. everyone should congratulate him (or her), as nothing, & i mean nothing, can escape his (or her) notice.

dude, why are you still posting if you don't have an actual point to post? is creating an unneeded flame war that important to you? not that it matters - real life calls, so feel free to throw in your insults all you like. ain't nobody gonna be here to notice them tho.

& to the original poster - sorry this sillyness happened.

simply saying that you think we're overpowered because you beat a master swordsman once is kinda stupid, ain't it? (not a flame, just a personal opinion. might sound worse than it's intended).

just because he ground his way to master doesn't really mean a thing in this game, now does it?. did he use his skills efficiently? did he have qualityarmor on? was he buffed? same questions apply to you, as well. unless you share the same brain that he does, you really have no clue as to his playing skill vs yours. was he simply another new power-gamer who bought a million credits off e-bay & has absolutely no clue what he's doing, but thinks he should be god because he read in a forum that it should be so?

i've dueled a few ppl recently in melee combat (i'm somewhat new at it). assuming we're similarly prepared (armor, buffs, etc), it generally seems that whoever is more versed & experiencedwith the skills/equip they have wins (there are exceptions of course, with so many broken professions& all the bonus stacking). i've knocked ppl on their backs, & been knocked on my back. usually, the ppl i'm knocking on their backs simply try to spam the same move(s) repeatedly, because they read in a forum that that's what they should do after power-grinding their way to mastery. i personally do not think we are overpowered. i do think that we have a few good skills that work, which is why so many ppl gripe that we're overpowered (unlike, say, the carbineer - lots of good skills, virtually none of which work at the moment. i didn't grind up to master, tho).
