I think the fact he has asked the question already means he is comfortable with not knowing everything and he isn't afraid to ask. You, on the other hand, are probably only a legend in your own mind. Do you actually know the answer to his question or are yousimply the jerk you appear to be?

He's just a kid, so don't listen to anything he has to say. He gets bullied at high school and comes home to SWG to vent his frustrations on Chefs and Novice Brawlers.
As far as DNL, are you buffed? I can't imagine you going to the Geo caves without being buffed. Secondly, is your VK a decent one? Until just today, I was browsing a vendor looking for sliced Ubese helmets when I came across a VK called Snakebite. This badboy does 40-142 damage and is a 1.7 speed. I looked at my current VK and it was pre- patch5! Thats how old the **edit** I'm using is! I quickly snatched that up and now I'm doing well over 2k damage with my Unarmed 3 and Combo2, and head hit does nice damage.
Secondly, make sure you're seeing the correct damage. Droideikas have I believe 60% or higher kinetic resistance, which more than halves your damage delt. If the mob is highly resistant to your damage type, you do less damage respectively.

Need some help ive had master teris kasi for a while now and i still am not ablee to solo a driod deka when i see another tk doing 1k per hit on a driod deka in the geno caves..
is there some special way to boost your damage some moves better than unarmed hit 3?
i would greatly appreaciate your advice thx.
I would also try and KD them, I have had great success and most TKs know that when you KD an enemy that your damage is increased. Just make sure that when the it appears to be broken into pieces that you don't KD again otherwise you will just return it to standing position.Also as mentioned above I would make sure you have the best VKs on the market and maybe bring some power ups with you to have equipped on your VKs for fighting the tougher things in the game.. it doesn't hurt to be prepared. I also bring a composite suit to use against the crazed geos as well as for the droids, ubese is great but doesn't stop enough of the ranged attack to keep you from being dead in 2 shots but works well enough against the other creatures doing kinetic damage. Good Luck.

What happened to the days when a master Teras Kasi was something to be sacred of? Now, all that folks have to do is run in circles around us while we're kited helplessly doing our ONE damage type, while commandos and BH's can freely switch between damage types to destroy us.
Perhaps I'm playing my TKA all wrong, because I certainly do crap for damage compared to what things used to be. How should I play my TKA to live up to its name of one of 'the most feared melee combatants in the galaxy?"
I'm thinking of dropping this profession entirely and taking up something else.
lol as a TKM youll never be feared...not by me at least. im not kidding...the day i get killed by a TKM i will quit this game for good, period.

Seriously Oweni, you need to rethink some of this "7eet d00d" mentality that you have. Every profession should have its strengths and weaknesses. If a ranged profession is smart enough to kite you around (outside of 20m), then they have found the weakness to all melee professions, and should rightfully win. However, if they are dense enough to just stand there trying to take a beating (like most people that PvP), then you should (and will) win at least 95% of the time.
TKA is a great profession, but you need to learn to deal with the shortcomings, or pick up a ranged support class that has a ranged knock-down. Then run in and beat the bejeezus out of 'em.
