I think to answer that question you would have to take a pure TKM and duel other professions, neither of you using drugs, foods, buffs or armor and also not stacking the templates with other professions to make it stronger. I tried the frogs on the test server just to see how I thought other professions were and to me there was one that stood out as weak and none was that uber but I didnt get to try jedi

people say TKM is overpowered, its not, you cant solo any of the high end stuff with it, and limited to doing onlykinetic damage, which most things have a decent or better resis against (the automatic speedcap at master and meditation are brilliant, i must admit) ive been a TKM for 6 months, and im getting bored of it

Not strong enough. Can't solo Nyax or Nightsisters. Can only get mediocre loot.

I can solo Nyax, and I can solo all of the nightsisters, except elder.

My only complaint about TK's is the KD and Dizzy Def... it is HORRIBLE!! Fix that with something that is worth it and I am golden

TKs have low state defenses in return for all the other strengths and extras.

Once the CU comes out TKMs will be able to solo a lot more powerful stuff (hopefully krayts)

You are going to be very very dissapointed if thats what you beleive.
As for TKM, it is overpowered if you compare it to pistoleer or carbineer, or even pikeman , if you remove the looted dot weapons from the equation.
However, that is more to do with the broken state of those professions rather than any uberness of tkm.But that is the point of view of people who play those proffs, and why the nerf tk threads used to be so common.
I would suggest to anyone who thinks otherwise, get on the next frog server and try those professions.It really is an eye opener.
TKM has poor state defences, and people complain, but that is a balance to the high offensive power and , of course, powerboost, a unique skill to tkm , that would for sure have to be removed for balance if state defenses on a par with pistoleer etc were added.
I prefer Powerboost, simply because its cool
The biggest downfall of TKM is Armour penetration, and the ludicrous 100% kinetic resist mobs out there.
It would seem AP is going away come the curb, which makes things much better for high end stuff from instantly, and hopefully with all mobs being rebalanced with us 100% resists will be just a painful memory too.
My testcenter chatacter is a tkm/master swords, and for the record, I very rarely use a hammer. Not because fists are better, but because its more fun combat than spamming headhit3.
So TK is the best melee prof, because its the most fun, not the most uber.

We are supposed to be able to keep the Jedi "in line" so why can't we solo a krayt.

Because you are not talking about a Jedi.... you are talking about a vicious 20-50 TON 50-75 foot long, and 30-40 ft high dinosaur. If they would scale it right, an adult Krayt should hit for around 6000-10000 damage. In essense, one hit kill/incap.
