SOE have told us that tkm's role post cu is that of a tank. This is definately true and due to this it is to me the backbone of the melee art. TKM is no longer a stand alone profession unless all you want to do is tank while other people state and do the damage.


I know what i have posted is obviose but some people really dont seem to be able to grasp the fact that fundamentally tkm is just the melee fighters template version of a jedis master defender, pure and simple and im sick of seing posts about it being useless. Its not, tkms just have a very clearly defined role as tanks now, nothing more and certainly nothing less.

be sure to grab the Katarn Knuckler though, it helps for templates with TKM only

/bump


please read this before posting ANOTHER thread about how cr appy tkm is on its own at taking down mobs.


Of course it is ! It is a soley defensive role with some mediocre offensive abbilities.


There is a reason that specials are now cross-profession useable and that is stacking.


If you dont want to do it UNDERTAKE A PROFESSION THAT CAN FULFILL THE ROLE THAT YOU ARE SEEKING! - If you want damage dealing, pick a damage dealing profession !! With the new offence/tanking/croud controll rating it clearly states on the tin what you are getting !!


TKM is defensive and i hope it stays that way. Nothing is wrong with this profession at all in my opinion, other than the apparant lack of use for the dizzy special since the curb went live. What exactly does dizzy do now we all have kd recovery?

Dizzy= accuracy penality (.... I think.....) It fits in the TK tree very well.

TKM= CoB+Dizzy the opponent+ innate armor= w00t

dizzy reduces the defense of the oponent that you use it on, if anyone wants to check up it says in the box x-x-1-x TK,



from sum1 who reads the boxes to find out wat the moves do

np, always happy to help out fellow tkm's on the journey of understanding, as everyone is currently learning about how the CU works.


its just that people dont know how to use skills and cant be bothered that there are so many complaints on the forums about all of these skils

I was a swordsman/doc before the cu and have settled on tkm/doc. I think it's very good, I don't PvP just a ton but with this template I don't lose often I find that tkm gives me the toughness I need to be a good doc, and doc just adds to tkm's tanking ability.

Good, posts that understand! I hear constantly, 'TKA? It sucks! It's no good anymore!' I even took down my TKM tag in-game to stop all the comments...what I'm doing lately, the Hunter tag from Scout seems more appropriate anyway. Though you'd think with me going around without armor and swinging a powerhammer, they'd get the idea?

Oh, wait...they probably think I'm a Jedi. *rolls eyes* Nope, no Master Defender here...just a gal who can wander around in hotpants and take down Rancors. Easily if they're below level 78 or so.

Sure does, one of the top templates I'm told. Considering I've used my paltry Medic skills (got just enough to have bactaspray) as an aggro management tool already...sometimes that works better even than my area taunt, honestly...it can help in more ways than just keeping you alive.

Could not care less about damage!

But as a sole profession we are very boring to play at times in the CU. We lack animations and a few more skills IMHO. And Why oh why has the best tank in game a very weak taunt? I really hope the look ito this.

I love tanking and beeing the humanmeanshield of a group, but in need of some more "flavor,feel&flow"

we need "fff" haha

Honestly I dont think TK sucks but, I am a wookiee and i just came back from 3 month break so i cant stand not being able to attack geos alone.. I mean my stacks i have are so high and now they mean so little so I feel kinda crappy. I love being a TK always have been y i have always been 1. But the system is too slow for me to use TK very well. Tanking is not an opetion for me because i try to heal myself and for some reason i can hela myself like 1ce a minute is that like a bug or just natural
