Thing is if a player plays in PvP they tend to wear stun armour which has lower kinetic defense, also even with 80% composite, TKM's has blistering speed so that can make up for it. As for stae defenses it all about balance, we have high damage output and blistering speed, fencers had High defense average speed and average
damage output. All about trade offs cant have one proff being great at everything.

Granted one melee proff can't be invincable. It's just sad a TKM can be knocked off his feat and dizzied so easily. Especially when it's their special attack. It makes sense giving them resistance to their special abilities. Give fencers resistance to posture changing attacks and dizzy since it's as far as i know what they use the most.

I was overt in bestine a few days ago and got into a fight with 4 rebels. We were all buffed, 4 vs. 1, and I got 2 of them while the other 2 CM's were mind poisoning me. That's not anything to brag about, and I am not even great at PvP. My only point is that it's not the skills or profession that counts, it is who is sitting at the keyboard.
TK is a great profession for combat, and so are alot of professions. Any profession in the right hands can be devastating.
Whoever said "We beat them and they beat us, it's balance." is absolutely correct. Win some, lose some.

I'm TKM
My other skills are :
Master Artisan
Master Droid Engineer
Merchant 3-0-0-0.
A smart swordsman can beat anyone by just using the right weapon.
Even without skill tapes.
A 2-handed sword has higher DSP than a Hammer, is cheap, have much lower ham cost, and doesn't require looted stuff.
But does kinetic.

TKM is not uber by itself, just liek most professions. Right now TKA is not a dmg dealer in PVP. Its in that same class as fencer pistoleer and carbineer are in. Not enough dmg output (TKA/fencer/pistolerr) or cnat hit mind (carbineer/fencer kinda/pistoleer kinda). What its good for is the huge meleee/ ranged defence, definaive acuity, combat equilibrium,and force of will. Its a good class to have mastered while using a different wepaon. Another advantage is it can apply every state to a person. What Most peoeple do is start with TKA, apply the intimidation, stun, blind, dizzy, try to lunge or kd them and then switch a rifle, dot pike, or scythe to do the dmg. TKA has the high acuracy to land these states and a good toughness to tkae the dmg while applying them. Just don count on it to do any real dmg in pvp.
It is arguably the best prof to fight jedi with, because they are unarmored, and unarmed toughness/intimidate is the best way to lower their dmg output.
To the person who countered that swordmen have terrible state defences, we all have 250 skill points, and swordman only takes a little over a 1/3 of em to master. If you find any swordmans w/o those defences I say lucky you! Chrish the fact as the flop like fish on the ground because most swordsmen I know have pistol or fencer defences to compliment their own.
Thats my 2 cents

All depends on the armor your opponent has. Back before everyone had 80% layers and most peoples armor was crappy, a TKM could rip people apart with ease.
