Teras Kasi Archive

Next patch no one will say TK sucks in PVP, combine the new changes on TC with a 5000+/5000+/4500+ HAM bar and armor and no one is going to beat you, period.

Think I might ditch my pistol crap and just master more melee profs for all the defenses.

speak for yourself, if TKA got any better in PvP we would need nerfage.

seems you are speeking for yourself

I'm sorry Dominar, but I have to disagree. I participate in PvP all the time and while I am not invincible....I take many IMP's down before I go down normally. The reason is that being a Teras Kasi Artist requires skill...not just blindly firing a pistol. Honesty.....I took down a Master Commando when I was a novice TKA (0,0,0,0). I was not buffed in any way and did not use a pet. I won because I out smarted him. Fighting indoors with a TKA is just about equal to suicide to just about any ranged profession. Plus after this next patch people will be screaming for a nerf on TKA (in addition to those who are already screaming it) because of the excellent defense and unarmed damage bonuses that we are getting.

TKMs especialy are formidable PvPers, just the other night me and a bunch of buddies2of which were also TKMswent to theed and tore it up for about 2 hours. with a muon and a powerboost i can go for a good 5min before a commandos flamethower dot actually does anything, if they get the chance to to even try it and bounty hunters, meh, its called TACTICS try some flanking manuvers i take down lots of people before im finally put out to pasture. try your area attack on closly packed commandos and watch em fall

Gonna agree with the folks that say we do NOT suck in PVP. Unless it is another non-idiot player, I tend to have little/no problems beating the living goodness out of people... it really isn't that hard...just requires common sense and a bit of strategy

we don't suck, we just have a clear disadvantage, and some people just focus on it

i have two big disadvantages because im a wookie TKM, and thus tell wookies get fixed i pvp seldom these days.

but back to TK its hard for me to really get into the middle of some of these debates because of my wookie handi caps, but from what ive seen our class gets hit a little too hard with ranged dmg, and this effects all melee types.

they should instead of adding all this random stuff that probably will have broken code, just simply incorperate ranged dmg into toughness.

you thought comandos were tough before, try one now with a 1 shot rocket launcher to your head. ya ok wear armor blaeh blaeh. what'eva, i hate that statement.

waka waka...................................

Ok i'm not the best pvper on the market but yesterday i become Overt in Bestine just for fun and to check the class.
I'm TKM and almost master medic.

Rebels raided 2 times the town; taking cover with structures and using burst run, UA Lunge, UA Head Hit and KD2 the outcome was :

Me killed 3 times
Rebels killed 7

So we arent so bad cmon

We're asked to use some tactics to fight not just spamming eyeshot, fanshot or headshot.

Are we disadvantged at distance? Sure, but when the fight become close and personal the game is over for our enemies.

SOE is working on pvp balancing and next patch should fix some stuff.

I love this class because is so hard to play in pvp and I will never surrend those TKM skill points.

Enjoy

As a TKA master I realy never have had any problem what so ever in PVP ...

you get a Knockdown Dizzy in 1 hit .. you can hit every Sec ones he is down they rareley get back up..= sure win..

Now what about those Lame Kiting people they runn and Runn never realy had a problem just make them stop .. Suppresion fire they Kneel = stop for 1 2 sec ..

you have a louge Attack that work from 15M also making people Kneel and Slow down ... a person on the Ground take Max 2-3 sec

If your Not Master at your Skill dont Complain about it.. if you Dont know how your difrent styles work with your char Test them or Ask before Complaining...

We are fine, and we are only gonna get better. If you dislike pvp as a TKA, play your ranged character, easy choice .

I do feel bad for the wookies though .............

The skills for Teras Kasi are likened to a very very strange looking weapon that few know how to use to it's potential and most give up or just try to do it on their own and get owned. The true practitioners are certain death to be around and the ones that don't know the weapon's usethrow it down in frustration says "This thing is busted!"

Sir, you are not using this tool correctly, and thus appear to be a tool yourself when you come to this forum filled with it's masters and proclaim there's a problem with it. Try again.

Hello. I didnt read the whole post becuase im lazy. But i'd like to throw my own two-cents in anyway . After mastering TKA and CH I was left bored with this game and trying to find something to do with my time. I dont have skill points to spend as i have them tied up in medic and money for a TKM/MCH is never an option. So i took up dueling...and lost big . My first duel was against a guild member of mine. He was a bh/pistoleer. He shot me in the eye, set me on fire, bled me, and used pistol melee defense two on me when i got too close. I flet like a little kid picking on his older brother.. it was embrassing . I went back to school and learned how to fight. I love dueling..especially with ranged fighters (call me mean but i like chasing them down). LoBai has it right. I dont need any extra skills or defenses to make myself deadly..im already a killer.i just had to learn how. Its all about knowing your strenghts and your weakness and how to maximize the first and minimize the later. I'd tell you my tatics but it would take too long. If killing bh's and etc. was easy i wouldnt bothe chasing them
