always buffed. usually around 1500+ in all stats
never use food
I keep muon gold handy in case my mind gets too beat up in a ong fight
never use VK's anymore (used them util I got power 3)
mind drops the fastest every time in a fight
never ever wear armor
I love being able to keep up with armed professions in damage with my bare hands.
Zabrak; Master Ranger, TKA 1-1-1-1, Novice Medic
What is your stat migration at?
900-400-300, 900-400-300, 1000-500-700
Why do you have it set in a particular way?
Regens aren't important with novice medic except mind regen.
Anything above 400 doesn't yield significant reductions in ham costs of moves.
What kind of armor do you use?
I carry a few pieces of 66% ubese.
Do you have multiple armor sets for multiple situations or do you have one set of mishmashed armor you always use?
66% ubese is for PvE. I also have a composite helm for PvP.
Do you even bother with armor or do you just used BE enhanced clothing?
I use both.
Are you always buffed?
Never.
Are you always drugged?
Never.
Are you always stuffed with food?
Nope. I have some Rysche(sp?) for tough mobs.
What are your secondary skills and why did you choose them?
You asked the same above.
What are the highest mobs you can take out solo?
about 1 red huurton and two whites at the same time.
Are you profficient in PvP? Do you even bother with PvP or go solo PvE?
I used to when i had a pistol. I dont plan on doing it again till im a TKM. I'm almost always solo PvE.
Do you use VK's all the time or sporadically or not at all?
I remove them for state effect specials on harder mobs so i dont chew through my ham.
When in battle, which of your bars do you typically see drop the fastest/most often?
short term, H & A. long term, M
What are your biggest gripes?
Dont have many really. I'd like to see more content and more uses from Master Ranger
What is your favorite part of being a TKA/M?
I can dish out an a$$ whooping and its fun.
Trandoshan on Bloodfin
I have my health around 800, and I have my secondary action stats and secondary mental stats nearly maxed mostly because my mental and action bars always went down the fastest. Now it is just my action bar that seems to drop quickly, and then I have to sap my mental to use a stim to heal it.
I have a couple pieces of cheap composite. A shoulder with 73% resists, two bracers at around 40-60 resists, and a 2k chestplate with about 43% resists. I usually do not use it unless I am fighting NPC's or a group of creatures. I wish I could find some one to sell me a shield generator, but so far I have been without luck.
I am trying to find a tailor so i can get a couple sets of clothing. I am looking to have a set for my warcry/intimidation, then a set for my bleed healing, and a set for mask scent. I'd carry it all with me so I can bring it up at will depending on the situation.
I get buffed whenever I can, but not nearly as often as I'd like, and often times I end up getting stuck with really bad 700-1200 stat buffs which are just pathetic. I get mental buffed whenever I see some one offering and I always wish that the mental buff would enhance the secondary stats as well.
I have a crate of Muon gold on me, but I have yet to master the correct timing of using it so I almost always get incapped on the downer. I rarely use it though, only on those occasions where doing so would avoid death long enough for me to finish the DBing mob or to escape from the DBing mob.
I know no chefs, so I don't ever eat. I forage and save a couple of the nicer items, but mostly my food goes to my pets or my friends' pets.
I am also a master CH and have enough medic skills to use stim d's experimented down to 40 medicine use. Very nice to use to heal my action bar since one hit of the D can heal between 500 and 1200. I have my pets there since I rarely if ever group. I don't have great armor and I don't have buffs on tap to be able to wear the better armor i have seen out there, so my pets tank with me. I am almost constantly complimented on my crowd control skills when I am helping out friends, though when hunting solo I mostly just have the pets there to get the higher missions and to be back up if things start getting ugly. I have been giving thought, however, to picking up a ranged skill in order to better fight the kiters (PC and NPC alike), though I am not sure what I would give up for that.
I do not PvP often. On raids I have taken out my fair share of imps, though a mind shot here or a flame there put me down fairly quick. The majority of my deaths, however, have been from travelling overt and getting mowed down before I even load in.
I don't know if you could really consider it solo, but I fighting with my pets I have dropped ancient bull rancs. Goes a lot faster with a BH or Commando partner, but I can do it on my own (of sorts).
I usually go with VK's off to avoid the high HAM costs on specials and then go to VK's on when I am just using standard attacks, attacking after a KD, or taking out a lair.
I mentioned earlier about how fast my action bar drops. Before it was always my mental bar the emptied out, but now my action bar drops twice as fast as the mental. My health bar rarely goes down.
Well, I cannot say I am happy about FoW being on an hour timer, though i am glad that it works so much more often now than it used to. I haven't seen CoB work for me at all, so I usually don't use it. The high HAM cost and low success rate of Warcry isn't fun, and i hear they are putting that on a timer now too, so even worse. I am not a master brawler, though, so I guess there is no point in griping too much about it. The whole KD a prone target knocking them to their feet is kinda bogus. I don't like kiters, but that is up to me to find a solution for.
I love being able to tank for my friends. I usually don't have my pets out too much anymore, and almost never when I am with my friends. Whether it is Baz nitches or kamuriths or hurtons or whatever, its nice to be able to stay there and hold the aggro, or keep them down, so my friends can get their hits in and get some good xp. Or on those pulls gone wrong, being able to drop the mobs quickly to save the day. I do get annoyed about having to keep reminding my friends not to run, though. Nothing like trying to chase the critter down to save your friend while your friend is kiting you BOTH around while they shoot over their shoulder in a panic and their HAM bar steadily decline.
Thats about it. I originally was going to just go up the power tree of TK, but I didn't care for BE much (being as broken as it is, and all) and I was getting a hefty amount of unarmed xp while going up the CH tree, so I decided to drop BE and go full into TK, which has paid off rather nicely for me and for my friends. I don't really get the whole holocron hop for a CHANCE at being a jedi so I will probably not be giving up my skills anytime soon.

How are you set up?
Human Master Chef/Climbing TK (1.4.4.3) - a few points in miscellaneous things
What is your stat migration at?
900/400/400 900/400/400 900/500/600
Why do you have it set in a particular way?
Iam still looking for a good combination to use. My H& A secondaries are as low as I can set them in favor of boosting M secondaries.
What kind of armor do you use?
Currently I have composite (chest, legs, and head) all around 65-70%. I only use it when going after stuff that beats me badly or for that rare PvP moment
Do you have multiple armor sets for multiple situations or do you have one set of mishmashed armor you always use?
I have one mishmashed set...I picked the core pieces to cover the bases as I was always being beaten badly in PvE...let alone PvP.
Do you even bother with armor or do you just used BE enhanced clothing?
No BE clothing yet, just some tailored stuff with skill tapes added. I am hoping to expand sometime soon.
Are you always buffed?
My best friend is a doctor, so when we hunt together, Igo around buffed...but most of the time...no
Are you always drugged?
I carry a crate of Muon Gold...but only use it in emergencies
Are you always stuffed with food?
Master chef...heh...I rely heavily on mind drinks and food (Fishak, Bivoli, Charde, and a few others). I used to use Breath of Heaven and Vegeparsine, as armor lube, but since I've gone to just three pieces, there's been no need, although the secondary buffs are nice.
What are your secondary skills and why did you choose them?
I chose chef because I enjoy cooking (was a baker in EQ on 3 chars) and to feed my PA. Most of my other skills are misc stuff (merchant, medic, scout)
What are the highest mobs you can take out solo?
No idea really...completed Act II solo with no buffs aside from food, so I thought that was decent. I kill Sharnaffs (since most of my time is on Corellia) 2-3 at a time. Will need to check out some baddies one of these days.
Are you profficient in PvP? Do you even bother with PvP or go solo PvE?
I am not a huge fan of PvP (I got it out of my system back in the Duke/Quake/Starcraft/Tribes days). I mostly solo PvE as groups are tough to find on my schedule.
Do you use VK's all the time or sporadically or not at all?
Depends. If I don't need to spam special attacks, I will use them...but a lot of my hunting is lair pounding, so I useunarmed spin 2 a lot.
When in battle, which of your bars do you typically see drop the fastest/most often?
H & A for the most part (since I run around with 1700 mind). Of course, good StimBs help a LOT!
What are your biggest gripes?
It's a common one...lack of things to do...I've run plenty of missions...moved up 7-8 ranks in faction...completed some theme parks, badges, and whatnot...I'm awaiting more to be added. I am a big quest fan and would love to see a lot more multi-stage quests added (quests that have 15-20 steps to complete). I was and still am a big fan of many questsfound inEQ. Some folks dislike them due to timesinks, money sinks, or whatever...but there's a lotof good ones easily adaptable to SWG...
What is your favorite part of being a TKA/M?
I enjoy the idea behind being an unarmed or lightly armed combatant. I played a monk in EQ for 4 years (a few months after release until last summer) and I played a monk or monklike character in many, many other games as far back as the paper and dice days. Being a TK fills that role moderately well and I look forward to mastering the profession. I do hope that the devs follow through and allow us to control the jedi at some point...I liked that in the description.
What is your stat migration at? 8/4/5 8/4/5 8/4/8
Why do you have it set in a particular way? Balanced for regen and for mind
What kind of armor do you use? Adv. Ubese - 54% Kinetic
Do you have multiple armor sets for multiple situations or do you have one set of mishmashed armor you always use? I am looking to fill out a set of composite for use against ranged energy using NPCs.
Do you even bother with armor or do you just used BE enhanced clothing? Yes, I use a form fitting shirt under my armor that's +4 Melee Defense, +15 Stun, that and it plugs the air holes in the Ubese Jacket.
Are you always buffed? No, very rarely am I buffed unless PB counts
Are you always drugged? Never
Are you always stuffed with food? Sometimes, though I've taken a liking to Breath of Heaven
What are your secondary skills and why did you choose them? Healing myself in battle is a real saver, esp w/armor and knucks.
What are the highest mobs you can take out solo? w/o a pet? I don't really know. Probably a Fierce Picket Protector on Dantooine (w/o pet or adds).
Are you profficient in PvP? Do you even bother with PvP or go solo PvE? Totally PvE, the only time someone conned me into PvP I was on my back on the first hit until incapped.
Do you use VK's all the time or sporadically or not at all? On armored/tougher mobs
When in battle, which of your bars do you typically see drop the fastest/most often? Action
What are your biggest gripes? Not being challenged enough
What is your favorite part of being a TKA/M? The damage and the special moves
