Teras Kasi Archive

I myself am against the changes and am still hoping they will give us some fixes to other skills to make up for the KD slap.

You sound amazingly like Vegan. Do you group? Look there may be work around but some of the special moves were also affected during the patch and do less damage now. Also the HAM cost for unequiping went up trmendously from previous lvls and after fighting 2 even mobs I spend the next few minutes resting and thats if I was incapped in the process. This patch forces people to try and find a group(which you just get laughed at anyway). I solo for my purposes and others for theirs and now SOE is trying to turn this into EQ in space. Group, group, group. F*CK that SOE and stop nerfing every thing in sight. Fix your product instead of breaking it and fix the classes(aka commando, and Teras Kasi) that need fixing!

All you non-master or non-near master tk should just stop posting your narrow-minded opinions.

If you actually read the posts, you'd see that a white con at novice or near novice does NOT equal a white con at master or near master.

The knockdown nerf is not effecting you at the lower ranks of TK, but it sure as hell will as you try and progress.

I think you folks calling us whiners are truly retarded as you asked to be called, as you are sabotaging our efforts to keep this class playble and worthwhile.

Stop for a second and grab a brain, most of the most vocal people opposing this change are *already* tk masters, and most of the ones saying 'quit yer whining are novice tk's who don't know any better.

Maybe you'd figure out that you're not yet seeing the effect of this nerf. Play for you hasn't changed, but it sure has for those further along the path where knockdown is pretty much essential to controllingwhite con creatures with ridiculously large hams that take two MINUTES to beat down. Can you tank anything for two minutes without using knockdown? I doubt you could tank white cons at novice level for two minutes, but oh yeah, they lack the ham and they conveniently fall over dead in a matter of seconds.

Oh and as to other professions, they have their own perks. Knockdown was ours. You are comparing apples to oranges. 2h swordsmen can hit for several thousand of damage a swing, and target the mind pool from their very first shaky steps as 2h swordsmen. 1h users get attacks that are extremely damaging, and defense that are equal to or better than tk's.

TK had knockdown. It was our offense, it was our defense. Make it cost too much ham and we are crippled.

The problem with knockdown was what allowed us to tackle white cons also allowed powergamers to tackle yellows and reds with impunity. They should have upped resists for higher con creatures, not totally trashed the skill. Instead of us not being able to handle reds and yellows now, whites have become a severe challenge, at the upper levels of teras kasi.

I am ok with the increase in health and action costs for KD. Its the mind that bites. I keep knocking myself out. What the heck does KD have to do with the mind pool in the first place? Drop the mind cost to 0 and this is still a very usable skill particularly if you have a healer in a group. Healers can't heal mind and thats the part that really hurts us with this patch.

I really don't get why everyone is quitting and all that. Sure, it sucks to have the HAM cost that high. I agree with that. I do think knockdown was too powerful, though. Something needed to be done...I just don't think this is what was needed. That said, I can still take Rontos, Banthas, Dewbacks and Greater Desert Womprats solo. I have about a 1 minute downtime afterwards. Darn. And those are yellow and red cons to me.

"Welp, if that's where they want us, that's where they got us. I guess it's time for them to make every other class unable to kill whites then. Let the nerfs begin!"

The idea was we would be able to kill white cons, but onlyabout 50% of the time.With precise skill, and a bit of luck, I can take them down 90% of the time. Anything the cons higher I avoid like the plague, unless I have a medic in tow (as I have no medic skill myself).

Now I agree, based on that, some of the other professions need a little rebalancing.

Well first of all i just want to get this out as people are seeing my post as an attack maybe i worded it wrong if so my bad REALLY my bad if your trolling or flaming ot release aggression bugger off and do it somewhere else

1 - My post wasnt meant to be whining in any way shape or form

2 - My post at NO point complained the TK's were 'whining'

3 - Im AGAINST the changes made to TK's i think this insanely high ham cost sux the big one (read mny of my other posts and youll probably see this

4 -Yes other classes have benefits... butmost of the time they can NEVERtruely SOLO a decent yellow or red con and most time have issues with whites (specially pikeman) so now your in the sameboat as the rest of the brawlers

5 -I Dont care whether your a TKN a TKE or aTKM your all in the same boat you have sweet **edit** all HAM left after executing special moves wellmainly knockdown and i agree it sucks.. hell typically (was waiting for it to happen) SOE are forcing grouping on you.. that sucks your meant to the cream of the crop,other brawling classes already were forced into groups

Sorry if that didntcover everything... really i am but i just want to sayagain that i am AGAINST the changes made to TKsomething needed to be done but the was insanely pointless ive never such a 'quick fix' or (quick**edit** up more like) in my life surely DEVS or whoevers paying them to ship products before theyre anywhere near ready can think up something more creative then this?

we cant effectively take on mob that cons red to a MTK. Thay didnt want us to in the ferst place. i dont know about you, but my job in a large hunting group was mian tank and crowd control. hold monstars at bay so thay can kill it. i Cant do that anymore. my job in a group is effectively gone. pistol whip people will be takeing the place of TK's in the large groups from here on out as is. going on a large hunting raid is next to pointless now. getting close enouph to melee will kill you if you dont have your own personal healer and than, only if you put all of your moveable stat points to your mind pool stats to cut the mind cost .

Regarding Liriel's post..

On the one hand.. I agree with you. We SHOULD be using all those moves, we SHOULD have a tough time soloing a Rancor.

But what sucks is that other classes aren't being held back as badly as us. We are the red headed stepchild in this game. Ok, maybe I'm being competitive or something, but hey, you're a Drow, you should understand that.

In PVP, I think we are gonna be **edit**ed. I mean, no KD+75% damage reduction means marksman can run around and have all the time in the world to kite us. I used to fight pretty well in PVP, but now UA hit 3 does less damage, and I can't do more than 2 KD's.. how can I stop these running fools?

And getting pwned by just 2 stormtroopers pissed me off.. I mean these guys are supposed to be blaster fodder.. and I'm a TKA master.. in the Star Wars continuity, this makes no **edit** sense.

I simply can't believe how some peopel see the justice in this. When the hell are the developers going to develop this game? Of course every one is doing their job, but the marketing department must be much better at it. The answers from the devs were the best- for all of our grief we get a **edit** smiley face... how disheartening that they thought an emote would solve their horribly unbalanced game.

Oh you done several TKA? why is today your first time posting here? I would of thought someone of your knowledge would have been posting here for a long time, strange.

As a good friend of mine has a very sweet child who is retarded, I will not give you the honour of calling you that.

You asshat
