I have ran some tests with the pre-cu states... They are supposed to meddle with accuracy/defense but do they?

Spotting a difference between being dizzy or not is like spotting a needle in a haystack. The effect is there, although microscopic. I notice no real difference in chance to hit at all, but I do notice a very minor effect on damage output.

Check theese out:
Dizzy: Reduces your defenses. -1 damageoutput when dizzy, +4 damage vs dizzy
Blind: Reduces your accuracy. -4 damageoutput when blind, +1 damage vs blind
Stun: Slightly reduces your damage and defense modifiers. -37 damageoutput when stunned, +1 damage vs stunned

So what's the issue.

The effect is not great enough to be noticeable. When I invest action, time and effort in an attack I expect it to assist me in the battle as much as any other state available from any other profession.

If I do not see a noticeable effect, why would I even care to apply that state?

Which brings up another interesting discussion: Why should my State (which is even my Master ability) be counterable by Dizzy Recovery... a counter givento almost every elite combat character in the game... when none of the Smuggler's new and unique states, and none the Combat Medic states can be countered the same way?

So my profession is given Dizzy. Swordmen gets Armorbreak (non counterable), Pikemen get's Warcry/Intimidate (non counterable), Fencers have Binding Strike (non counterable), Riflemen get's Knee-Cap Shot (non counterable), Pistoleers get lots of states (most non counterable) and the very same with Carbineer.
So why should my given State be recoverable by all professions, while the rests are not?

Sorry for the rant.

I agree with your post, it's realistic. I'm not saying that we should have an incredible damage output, since after all we are tanks, not heavy hitters, but I'd like to see something useful given to us at master. At present it seems like our best attack is Melee Strike, which is kind of sad.

You know, "Combo Hit" is pretty wierd. The description suggests "A flurry of attacks". Well, I see 1 attack, that do like 1-300 damage (depending on what I am hitting). The template I am using have Impale as wellthat do like 5-600 damage. I am currently using Impale+Melee Assault as combo, and I am even wondering if it's time to give up TKA for Swordman since Innate Armor cannot be armorbreak sliced...

Whoever say "TKA is fine and working as intended" are fooling themselves

Mankind should simply copy/paste this along with your armor break thread and relay it along to the devs. You seem to be one of the few who understand this profession is nothing more than a pickpot, and there is no real reason to master it unless you cannot afford armor. Nice job on the research btw.

Yeah "Defense (5) mybum. ^_^

Remember this one?

Teras Kasi Artist
Primary Role: Melee Tanking Specialist (Avoidance)
Secondary Role: Close Range Damage Dealer
Offense: Moderate(3)
Defense: Very Strong (5)
Crowd Control: Minimal (1)

Teras Kasi Artists are experts at avoiding damage. TKAs have several utility abilities to further help them survive standing toe to toe with the most powerful opponents in the galaxy.Their damage output is only moderate however making them less than ideal for taking opponents on their own.
