Thread: Relax True Teras Kasi Masters..we will not be nerfed.
We still will be kited...
we still will have same ter negotiation...
we are not jedi...
we will get some better deffenses to keep the kiters on there toes, but still will be kited...
KD is not as powerfull as it used to be...
we are not the ultimate pvp class for every casual/noob/power gamer...
we still can't take an AT-ST, Giant Kilimo Dune Dragon, Kryat Dragon one on one, unless we are very very lucky or sneaky...
Sure there may be some new ones, but they will long for their other guns and pets when the time comes.
Why can't you take on a giant kimo? Other tka are doing it. It is theoretically possible for a mastertka using advanced ubese, doctor buffs and intimidate2 (intimidate1 probably works too) to tank a giant canyon krayt dragon as long as they don't get hit in the mind about8 times and can keep the giant canyon krayt dargon intimidated most of the time.
I believe it would go as follows assuming intimidate 2 reduces damage to 40%, the ubese in question is 70% kineticand the krayt does 8k damage each hit (2 seconds).
8,000 * 0.4(intimidate2) * 0.42(toughness) *0.15(armor) = 202 damage every 2 seconds if every hit lands.
You may have missed the point of this...many true users of a TK character fear that the attention given to us will make it harder for us in the long run...the added speed and damage and other new defenses. They fear nerf and as for the armor dragon thing...my referance to that was metaphoric in that we are not super bruce lee genetic freaks that can chi our way out of battle. Have i taken on a kilimo dune dragon..yes by lag accident..did i die..yes, but not before taking it down half way...and yes intimidate one was used. I don't use armor and never will, but a MK III I may use as soon as they debug those...that would help a bit. So save your math calculations for your ubber god tk master with a twist...you know I will not even go further on this. This post was to let the TK masters now know that they will not be nerfed. WE ARE NOT UBBER...but a player can be...heck a non ubber character well rounded can outclass even the master BH and Commandos..without a pet. Seen it done and laughed watching it.
The only thing you said was that tkas will not be nerfed. You gave no good reasons why they wouldn't be nerfed. Soe doesn't even need a reason to nerf you, Holocron could wake up on the wrong side of the best tomorrow and decide that Pikeman will have their accuracy cut in half if he wanted to.
TKAs are too powerful compared to the other elite brawler professions. The question is what to do about it. Soe can do one of three things. They can 1) Nerf tkas massive so they stink as much as the other elite brawler professions (this is probably the most likely since it requires the least work), 2) Make the other elite brawler professions as good as the tka, or 3) Do nothing because the other elite brawler professions will just become tkas since they are much better than their old professions.
Perhaps you could define what a true Teras Kasi Master is. Please try to avoid ambiguity and petty attempts at profoundness, just state what attributes define a true Teras Kasi Master.
Maybe after I know those, I can relax.
If you read the description of Master Teras Kasi you will see that they are suppose to be the elite class under brawler/melee. "The Teras Kasi Master is one of the most feared melee combat opponents, as they can deliver rapid, damaging blows to even the strongest enemies." If people aren't happy with the abilites that TKA possess then maybe they should drop their current combat skills and start up the TKA tree. Everyone has an equal opportunity to acquire the same combat skills, but get angry/jealous when one class gets an improvement and their class doesn't. I happen to like where TKAs are right now and I'm glad to hear they aren't going to get nerfed. I never complained about BH's and Commando's when they were the superior classes that everyone envied. I just knew enough if I came across one of them I would have my work cut out for me. Any character can get any skill they want albeit skill points permits it. It takes a true gamer to perfect their class and become a true master, that's what seperates masters from one another.
All and all, I'm glad to hear TKA aren't being nerfed.

Tkas do NOT, I repeat, do NOT, require more skill points than the other melee professions so they are NOT like the bounty hunter. Maybe you need to go back to school because "one of the most feared" does not mean they are the most feared. All 4 melee professions could be "one of the most feared" and it will still be true.
If you are saying everyone should just go tka because they are better, you are admiting that they are overpowered. An atitude like that is what will get you nerfed. All the other melee professions come here and see you guys saying stuff like "OMG IT IS GUD WE R SO UBER! STOP WHINING N GO TKA NUBI!" and they think "hmm if they won't let us become good, why should they be good?" So basically, you won't support the other melee professions becoming equal to you guys, so why shouldn't we support you guys getting nerfed?
I say again, some tka fanboi saying you guys won't be nerfed means nothing. Even if there wasn't a reason to nerf you (and there is because you guys are way too good compared to the other meleers), holocron could nerf you for no reason at all.
Okay boys and girls..and to the little melvin that said the oldschool comment and no school...whatever. Why is a swordsman posting here? Jealous? Anyway, the simple post was for those of us that have chosen the class not for flavor of the month reasons, not cause we are jedi like, but rather we understand what we can do and how to play the class. If a holocron told them to do it, fine their choice to follow it, if they do it now because it will be getting some nice speed and damage output along with some new defenses fine, they still have to take the time to grind it out. Perhaps they will see how much thought is put into playing a melee class after using a blaster for so long. If they give us the power then take it away to what we are now or even before...fine we still are better than the other melee classes and will always be...so swordsman chew on that for a while and as for the witty comments to my age or school completion, "non illegitemus carborundum est."
I was trying to be nice, but so many bitter players here complaining about TKA...are you even TKA or just trying to mess it up for the ones that actully like it? If you like the class you can just rest assured that it is good and if they make it better, great more people may enjoy playing it if they nerf it great I was fine before..I just rather they focus on fixing the stat bug issues with spice/food/and the incap issues everyone has been having...my chef is thinking about beign a TK Artist now since food is deadlier than a commando flamethrower.
And stop whining about your broken classes...either deal with it or drop it. Posting about it hasn't seemed to help you.Chewon that for a bit...or even better perhaps it is the DEVS way of getting you to drop it so they can just drop the whole sword and pike line sighting too many people leaving the profession so we will just neft it and replace it with (insert lame idea here). Man I try to be positive and encouraging and look what I get...a bunch of bitter players demanding every little detail of why why why...no wonder they released the holocron clue idea...hell you guys b$tch and complain more than anyone person I can think of. Forget it, you guys can keep posting your lame complaints..man they give you the stuff to have fun and what do you get....whine whine whine..what about pikeman, what about me me me....shut up. They may get to you and when they do they will make you happy..they seem to be bending in that way..soon everyone will have to drop your precious little swords for a crafting kit to unlock your FS slot...and when you do I will be happy for you, but then you will complain about how broken that is too...there is no pleasing a man or woman with a self centered, egotistical, elitist complex as many of the gamers have. Yes you do, you feel that you are better cause you know something more than the next guy about Babylon 5, stargate, starwars, star trek, friends, sanford and son, regis and kathy lee, dating game....what ever! My point originally was to be encouraging and you all just shat on that...so I hope you guys enjoy the broken game with your swords and 20 sided dice wearing your harry potter wizard caps watching the matrix and lord of the rings as you play video games eating pop tarts and romin noodles. Chri$t ona crutch people for the love...deal with it.

Apparently swordsmen do not know how to take a post in the right context. Maybe they should stay in their own forums. I did not say TKA was the best melee class to be in. I was backing a previous post about people whining about TKA and how their melee class sucks. Then I went on to state that if they are unhappy with their own class then they have the same amount of skill points as everyone else, find a different profession. At no point in time did I say that TKAs require more skill points, where that was gotten from beats the hell out of me.
I don't think I said I said TKA was more Uber than any other class. I stated I was happy with where they are and if people are unhappy with what TKAs have then maybe it's time for their character to get a profession change. Before you post, make sure you take other posts in the right context before you make yourself sound like an ass and get so many other posts that rant about yours.
