Ok, this post is mainly out of spur of the moment anger, but I'm still going to post it. Currently my character is a TKM/DOC and although I admitshouldn't be the best player at PvP I should stillbe able to stay on my damn feet!. What's the point of mastering balance conditioning if you are going to stay on your back most of the time in PvP. We get only a +5 modifier in defense vs dizzy, but we get a +30 modifier in defense vs posture change. I would hate to see our defense vs dizzy if we didn't master the tree. Also, we only get a +20 modifier in defense vs knockdown. Five graul maulers attacking will make you kneel, but a swordsman/fencer will keep you laid out! WE NEED MORE DEFENSES AND GIVE US A DOT WEAPON!!

This might come as a shock to you but- there are other professions that have no defenses what so ever. Namely the Hybrid classes (Bounty Hunter, Commando, Smuggler, Squad Leader).
This game is horrible unbalanced and I am sure everyone knows that.

Heh the only thing that keeps me alive are my TKA Defenses....the profession gets more Ranged defense than some ranged professions.....
As is, TKA's defenses are good...and should be used as a model for the rest of us to be brought up to their level

You're a freaking doctor. Do what every doc in PvP does and cure yourself of dizzy.
When you chose to become a doc you made a huge sacrifice. A TKM/doc will never have the defenses of a template like TKM/fencer/pistoleer or other stacker templates. But you have advantages, like never having to worry about getting buffs and being able to remove states, diseases, and poison from yourself (not to mention healing).

Yeah I'm a friggin Doc, but it's kinda hard to cure dizzy when you are flat on your back and it tells you you can't heal dizzy while knocked down. Oh yeah, thanks for the one star!

This is no shock to me. I do howeverfind it hard to believe that we as TKMs can solo anything on this game with no problem, but when it comes to fighting another person, let's face it it's a joke.

correct me if im wrong, but i believe combat equilibrium is the antidizzykd. the trick is to not hit another posture change once you stand. dont spam it.

If you do a bit of studying on this and other forums you will find that it is almost impossible to keep a Doc/TKM dizzy and on the ground. I'm also a Doc/TKM combo and once you learn what you are doing you will laugh at state effects. Also, try reading up on various foods if you don't want to be KD'ed in the first place.

Macro it, bye bye dizzy/KD problems, if you don't just pop right back onto your feet without using itlike I usually do, start spamming the macro, 9 times out of 10 you'll flop for a few seconds, heal the dizzy, and get back up.
And as for TKM being able to solo anything in the game, have you ever tried to solo a nightsister elder???

As I see it, TKA has to have some holes, otherwise it's the "perfect" profession. And they don't want that (and neither do we).
So, the holes are some weaknesses in the status defenses, and limited to a single damage type (AP1). That's a pretty good tradeoff for high damage output (for most other kinds of mobs) and the meditation line, not to mention a single KD+Dizzy combo hit.
That's called balance.

Fencer has the best Center of Balance....since I am 4-4-4-0 Fencer (and Master Pistol) I don't notice this much.
also...I am not a fan of DOT weapons in any case, and besides....we are UNARMED.

Just like rifles use a spraystick/pistol, fencers use a baton, pikers use lances, swordsmen use hammers....blah blah
