Teras Kasi Archive

Since we are getting closer and closer to the next BIG publish I was wondering If the Dev's have even thought about an elite elite in the teras kasi area. Personally I wouldnt mind going straight TK and dumping all my points into this awesome profession.

I think things like katas that buff, and moving meditation along with steel hands would be pretty neat things to have for a Grand Master TK

While it would be wonderful and nice to have that, (I'm behind it 100%), I definately do not see it happening on the next "big" publish patch. We likely won't see any elite-elite's until city planner with the player cities patch. Than maybe some will role-out afterwards, but they're still working on fixing combat as it stands now, which hopefully will be published soon (i.e. the Sept 19th combat issue post). This should improve us as is.

Now, if you want to be "uber" and "leet" it's upto you to do so. We will NOT be seeing Jedi-tough TK's running around, that's for darn sure...so get over that delusion right now. It's upto you as the player to make yourself tough. You WILL die...sometimes often, but what you accomplish before that happens, like taking 6 or 7 of them with you before you go down, is that real test of toughness. That's what will get you the ooo' and aaah's.

Work on that first, than worry about them making the numbers fight for you. The character avatar is a reflection of the thought/effort you put into it...if you don't reserach and study everyone else's weaknesses and practice your techniques/combos and duel LOTS to get the hang of it and PvP when you can to learn how to kill effectively even with bad lag....than you will find yourself stuck in the same mess...with bigger numbers involved.

Well if we have to dump the rest of our skill points into "Grand Master TKA" then i sugguest the give us some sort of ranged attack. Cus at the moment im a Master TKA/ 2/3/1/4 Smuggler and a 0/1/0/0 Pistoleer. Only reason why i have smuggler and pistoleer is mostly for big game hunting such as kryats and rancors and gorax's. Oh yeah and also PVP when its a big battle. But a ranged TKA attack might be nice, such as some sort of chinese star... lol, i dont have a good imagination but maybe you guys can think of something

I too had been fairly frustrated with TK's in PvP. But thanks to LoBai and Mister Heavy and their wisdom and encouraging posts, my enthusiasm and excitement for melee is back!

But I too love Teras Kasi, the only true form of combat in my opinion. Xenethope, I couldn't agree with you more. I'd use all my skill points to go TK elite elite all the way and drop medic/pistol.

chinese star? Teras Kasi means steel hands, not SUPER DARK NINJA!!!11

jesus, knucklers are bad enough...

JaceBri,

You want something to slow them down?...lol...Ever try Lunge?...although it's been nerfed and you can no longer force them to kneel then immediately force them to prone. You can still slow them down by forcing them to kneel from 10m away.

Besides, what are you doing chasing after kiters?! If they really want to kill you, run into a building or go around a corner. Make them come to you. LoBai and Mister Heavy taught me that

my God you take things too literal. I see nothing wrong with some sort of throwing star, and i think it would be neat, perhaps some throwing darts or somthing.

if you want to get literal, ever watch a TK in combat? i have cause i watch myself. how often do you swing with the hand that has the vibro knuckler on? but then you get the hib bonuses even if you use your foot as a weapon.

masterseth,

i do use lunge... but with a 30 sec. timer on it, it is very hard to chase people down after you use it. Usally when i try to hide behind a building i get jumped by someone else if we are talking about PVP
