when i started this game i started as a marksman, but i hated shooting (still does) it was so boring, just standing/kneelin there, it feelt like no interaction. so i decided to try the brawler classes, i loved all of the 4 classes, and i was saving unarmed for last, but when i got unarmed hit 1, i saw the way to go, i mean the hit had a red ribbon following the punch, i loved it.
so mainly the reason for me to become a tkm was not too be a pvp/pve god, it was simply cause i loved the unarmed animations, this is sound a bit noobish, but that was the reason i got on the tk path 3 months ago.
and i have never looked back, i love this proffession and i will never give it up
so anybody else whant to share why they went down the TK road?

I fell in love with this class when I saw a tk at the Tusken fort just absolutley rocking the hell out of those banthas and tuskens. I've done master marksman...dabbled in this that and the other...nothing really serious, but a few months ago, I just got serisous and went full master brawler/TK. I've loved both since then, and I probably wont ever drop either unless I have a very good reason.

I originally picked up unarmed because I wanted to have a fallback skill for rifles, back when they had the 2.5 damage multiplier, and I didn't realize that just about any other melee skill would have been better as a backup. I liked it enough that I eventually dropped all of myranged skills for TKA, and because the meditate branch went really well with my solo explorer/Ranger playstyle. Now I'm dropping Ranger and going all melee, baby.

I chose TK actualy because I liked the Idea of meditation, giving the profession something more to do than just killin´. Another Reason I chose it, in the beginning it was less common and gave you an unique individual flavor. Now though......

For me it's part of how I saw my character at the beginning - a starwarsy type of samurai with the unarmed skills as well as 1h-blades. I'm still workin on it (since november, lol) and am aiming for MTKA and M-Fencer. i guess it's just a bit of roll-playing effect I'm lookin for.

TK has the meditate branch, which works well for me becuase I work nights and am never playing during regular hours, and it just adds that extra spice to the class...All the other clases are kinda boring (few exceptions) and its cool to beat on things with your bare hands

Since my mates first imported this game into the uk (on the day of release - the nerds) i wanted to play as a TK. And at the start there where no Tk's which was cool. I finally got a new pc good enough to run SWG, log on and every other person is TK, but i still wanted to do it. I'm now at 0111 and loving it. TK was allways the way i was going to go and i'm glad i did.

I was actually going to go pikeman (thank God) but After about Pikeman II, I started thinking about unarmed. I have always wanted to go commando or smuggler, but I have never made it to unarmed IV, lol. But after I started going unarmed, I fell in love with it and ended up dropping pikeman and now im 0-1-0-0 TKA and I'm already enjoying it. It was REALLY hard to get to tkn, and the unarmed branch was a pain, but it was worth the loooooong grind. On another server I am rifleman, and it isn't near as fun as unarmed.

I'm a martial arts nut so when they announced TKA my decision was made.

Hmm for me, I had heard about meditate here on the forums, so I made a dosh tka hoping the damage bonus would help out, ended up it only helps when niether side uses specials lol since the dosh has terrible action secondaries and that's what tka uses most, but I still do pretty good, starting to get attached to fencer though since the high damage weapon there is high health low mind cost and dosh has GOOD health secondaries

For me it was a combination of a like 2 things.. I came from asherons call where I played an Unarmed character, and I saw this movie Equilibrium.. that movie kicked so much ass haha. So I wanted to be a TKM/Pistoleer but ended up hating range and putting the guns down and going full melee.
