Talk to a weaponsmith about some custom powerups that lower action cost.



"There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it, some could not speak. They held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down prisoners at my lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left.
Then Jean de Rrye, an aged knight of Burgundy who had been sore wounded in the fight, rode up to the group of young knights and said: "are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For the battle is fought to be won, and this is what happens if you lose."

w/ pb you would have 1200 action, in 4 or 5 hit3s i doubt you'd be under 400 action.... but if you are having a problem with running out so much, u might want to try a new strategy of attacking. UAH3 isnt the only thing u got =3. but if u find some way around it.. =D

I think that the HAM cost for not using Vk's needs to be considerably lowered as it stands now there isnt a reason to be Unarmed or truely TK.


But yes try a Low HAM set of Vk's and a good 30% action power up or try no armor.

My advise is two fold.


1) un-equip your Vibro knuckler. You do plenty of damage with out them and your HAM expense wont be near what it is with knucklers.


2) If you HAVE to keep your knucklers up, Get Breath of Heaven. Adds about 500 to each of your *efficiancy* stats (stregnth, stamina, focus) for about 5 minutes. Its a drink, not a spice, so no downer. You will notice a REMARKABLE drop in HAM use.

*edit* should be Strength, QUICKNESS, and focus.


Sorry about that

I would have to agree that unless you are fighting armoured foes, as a TK master, do not use VibroKnucklers in PvE where you can get away with it.


You may not be able to 'layeth the smacketh' down quite so quickly, but your HAM cost efficiency rockets. Consequently you'll end up doing more damage for the same cost in the end. Against armoured foes, you obviously do need to rely on VKs, but in this case, I'd concentrate on keeping myself healed (if you have medic), throw in a couple of strong hits occasionally, and try to fight intelligently.


I know some people will disagree, but I'd generally advise against spamming UH3 ever - Do one or two, see which pool is lowest, then concentrate on targetted pool attacks. As a TKM, speed is not necessarily everything - We have good melee defense, and coupled with Intimidate we can last a fair time. If you no longer require unarmed XP, take your time a little bit more - You may live longer

lower your action pool a little and put those points in your quickness pool. Powerboost buffs your primaries anyways. I lowered my health and action and maxed my quickness as much as I could. I rely on powerboost, unless im buffed.. but powerboost lasts 8 minutes anyways, should be done with the fight in that amount of time (depending on what your fighting of course). =) gluck.

Im posting here because im having some problems with my tkm.


My problem is the fact that each time that i do unarmed hit 3 it takes about ~100 of my action


Even with pb if i do 4 or 5 unarmed hits3 im down to less then 1/3, and i end up getting one shoted killed by a action shot in PvE.


I do have medical skills so i can heal myself but i would like to be able to have a constant fight without having to heal myself every 3 unarmed hits3 so i dont die from 0 action


I dont like using spice or doc buffs since sometimes we dont have it.

I do use powerboost


My vk's have a 32/50/32 ham cost

I have700/450/450 700/500(changed to 600)/450 (changed to 500) and 1000/400/600


Any advice?

Its not just unarmedhit3.

Almost every move takes about ~100 action. Stun, kd, dizzy, headhit, spin2 etc ...

Soin a even fight i always have to heal myself a few times since the specials itself take alot of ham.

Even with pb it drains alot

I also dont use any armor atm so i get hit by 100-200 dmg too.



I see that the best solution is to take off the vk versus unarmed foes and use alot of breath of heaven.


My vk's are also sliced for speed: 39-147dmg 1.5 speed. I guess if i get ones sliced for dmg i wouldnt spend so much action too. I would hit harder so i would do lessspecials for the same cost.
