Thread: As a TKA i am afraid about CU
TKA is not one of the broken professions, I don't think. All professions are getting nerfed - Im assuming, via universal nerfs such as Buffs, Armour, and Defence Stacking.
Rifle, Sword, DoT Weapons, Doctor, Pistols, Carbines, Pike, SL, those sort of professions will be getting fixed, Im guessing.

Guess what, everyone has trouble causing direct damage with buffs and armor being what they are.
Here's how to tell where a profession stacks: duel unbuffed, with no food, armor or loot enhancements(including weaponry). Hell, if you want to get really technical, don't use stacking. Just a TKM vs. Master whatever. I'll guareentee that you'll win atleast 75% of the time as a TKM.

I can't say why, but let's just say you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

I'm with Ryutek. I actually like the idea of a TKM after the CURB than it is now.

and that...is why don't worry about CURB and TKA. for the new guys...Atama loves TKA ( a little too much i think 
) if he is happy....good things are coming....
i also heard were all gonna have some type of force power bar (like the force power bar jedis have) that will dictate how many specials you can spam in a given time frame. people ive mentioned this to are really bitter about this, even strickly pve gamers.
jedi wont beable to attack non jedi in pvp battles. you can still duel jedi for fun . but they cant attack you if your both overt. not sure how this affects BH, i havent heard.
new items that i have to speculate will be the "new thing to get" ,will be items that will regenerate your force bar. i use the term force bar ,cause i dont know what there calling it ,but you get the idea.
people who have high force regeneration will own everyone else. and a whole slew, of more problems will arise because people testing this are playing a game with blinders on...
jedi will be the ultimate class to get i think.
edited in: also to add a few more things, i think, professions that are considered gimped or nerfed or have no role in group play like commandos ,carbines,smuggler,BH etc will be improved to fit in more with other professions. i think the game will be more about BH vs jedi in 1 on 1 battles than gank sqauds vs jedi or for those BH who solo hunt jedi wont beable to gank them . i think BH will be getting a boost to battle 1 on 1 vs knights . i think all other proffesions will be catalysts to getting BH/jedi ,meaning they will be easily mastered ,once mastered you will use them to aquire items and money to achieve jedi or bh . there will be a whole slew of more things to do and aquire . its looking good , i think just some issues will arise i think .
you will see alot of the gimped/no so used classes come to life i think.

they wont be nerfing any classes , there making it so people who make these hybrid professions such as tkm/fencer/pistols wont beable to take advantage of stacking defences anymore. so if your a tkm/fencer , its my understanding you wont get any defensive skill mods from fencer while holding a vk and vise versa.
They have not yet said whether or not stacking will be removed. As far as we know they might add the ability for more stacking in some way. I'd be very suprised if they did get rid of stacking as thats one of the strengths of the proffesion system, there are so many combinations insted of the run of the mill leveling like EQ or other such games.

Not quite. We have been told that HAM costs will no longer hurt us, they will still come from our normal HAM bar just no longer as damage. I gotta add I personly think this is a great idea as it will meen you need to learn your proffesion more.
jedi wont beable to attack non jedi in pvp battles. you can still duel jedi for fun . but they cant attack you if your both overt. not sure how this affects BH, i havent heard.
From what we have been told this will not be in the CU/R/B. It's just part of what many Jedi (& none jedi) would like to see based on Glzmo's FRS Vission thread.
new items that i have to speculate will be the "new thing to get" ,will be items that will regenerate your force bar. i use the term force bar ,cause i dont know what there calling it ,but you get the idea.

Again from what we have been told it's not like the Force Bar system. This is based on a characters HAM Stats & not regen / max level bonuses you get from proffesions.
jedi will be the class to get.
Deffinatly not, I think the whole point of the CU/R/B is to remove the Flavour of the Month templates & stop there from been a proffesion to get. It will be down to the player & what they want to do with all proffesions been nicly balanced. If anything I personly hope Pistoleer or Carbineer are "the proffesions to get" should there be any. I've played a pure melee template alot in my time in game but it's something I've always felt, personly I wouldn't even mode been under powered in terms of over all effectivness compered to these proffesions.
I don't meen to be rude but much of what you have said is untrue. If you wanna see what we do know click on the link in my sig.
As I said earlier though I'm very confidant about what TK will be like after the CU/R/B, we've had a couple of Correspondents say that they are looking foward to been a TK after the CU now, that can only be a good sign, I really doubt that any proffesion will come out worse then another, especialy TK. Again though we just have to wait & see.

I would'nt say scared, but if they give all the proffesions an overhaul, it's not gonna be like TKA is underpowered compared to the other proffesions. Plus i hope they throw in another weapon for us.
First, to respond to the main topic: I actually hope that TKA is balalnced a bit more in the CU. TK now is (in my opinion) slightly over-powered. I've done the TKM grind twice now and as much as I love my TK, the profession isthe PvE god. Between powerboost and meditation not to mention the almost perfectly balanced offensive and defensive skills, TK is really the most playable PvE profession in the game. PvP the TK does well too even though it may not have the offensive prowess of heavy swords or the defense of fencer. I know plenty of TK who simply destroy the competition in PvP though so it is more than possible. I found the TK be a fairly stale profession. My main character is now taking the Carbineer/BH carbs route and I must confess I'm having a lot more fun with it. I'm also grinding a new alt with TKM again just to have that in my back pocket to pull out when I need a character that I know can hold its own.
I also disagree with TK getting new weapons. Its an "unarmed" class so really they shouldn't have a weapon at all. I can deal with the VK but I think if they make it a weapons class then they have to change the name and not call it Teras Kasi.

That work?hmmm sopose that will have to do
Unfortunately, thats about the best I can do. I'd love to tell you more, I really would, but then Tiggs would pounce on me, and I would imagine an NDA break would cause a rather huge pounce followed by an inability to remain Correspondent, as well as an inability to become a Blue Glowie. Rest assured, however, that I do look forward, very much so, to what Star Wars Galaxies will become with the Combat Upgrade.

QFE.
Please look over Mankind's post to know what has been stated that relates to us. Much of what you stated ob-gli is speculation, and due to it appearing in multiple places many have come to regard it as fact.
