Wearing 90% comp armor withabout 1000 encumbrance isnt a problem. The Ahrisa only comes in small stacks like -4 so it's quite expensive, but then again you really dont have to take 3 at a time 1 will usually do. I can constantly cure every state/rez/disease/posion and swing VK's constantly and mind wont budge. Give it a try!I use VKs all the time. My damage sliced VKs kill things maybe twice as fast (faster if they are armoured) as my fists. Sure, the HAM costs are higher, but by the time you have stacked doc buffs, Musician buffs, brandy or Muon gold, the HAM cost is negligible anyway.
Its annoying that all you people are not giving the best advice. Food and spice isnt the answer all the time. This is my advice:
Get a Master weaponsmith to make you the lowest damage VK he/she can and maximizing the build for less HAM cost. This way you get the AP, which is all that really matters, and not have to worry about HAM. The difference in damage in a VK means diddly. The AP is what shines ur damage. I believe the TK's actual fist/feet, (no VK) is 25 - 50. Adding an extra 100 - 140 max damage is nothing when stacked up against the HAM costs normally gotten from a regular VK. We get a Damage bonus for a reason. Rely on what you got, not always food and spices and buffs. Then you will truly gain respect of your peers.

This is actually the best advice I have seen on this issue. It is the AP that you need. I don't use VK's that much as a MTKA except in those situations that I encounter someone in "uber" kinetic resist composite armor. I use low HAM vk's for the AP and then rely on the skills that I have to stun, kd, and target the mind pool.
i always have buffs and i always have brandy so i always have vk's, dmg sliced
