Teras Kasi Archive

I worked a swordsman myself. He only hit me 2x.

Do you have enough points when you start the game to become a Master TKA, Master Sword and Masters Brawler all at the same time?..and do the defense bonuses from Master TKA stack with those from Master Swordsman?

Does that mean we finally get dodge?

wow so many responces thanks so much hehe

i wonder if i can get both Tka / Swordsman and still be a master doctor like get 2 ter's of each? what you guys think?

hmm very interesting i'm testing out swordsman right now, i must say getting to Swordsman 4 is totally ezer then getting to Unarmed 4 more so when i'm hitting things for 1954 damage (bases) lol at swordsmen lvl 2 in the brawler tree i was hitting things for 500

i'm already a teras kasi working on the last tree, i wonder if i can mix the 2 and still go master doctor?

In an actual pvp duel, most of the time a TK will kill a swordsman (I'm a master swordsman myself). They've better defence, speed, and moves. Unless we get extremely good hits to their mind. Using a mind bleed though, we'll incapp them...after we're incapped ourselves

If you're out hunting on the other hand, in a group or soloing, you'll probably do a lot better with swordsman. We do huge damage and can take on multiple enemies at once, when the TK depends on their speed and moves to kill an enemy without getting hurt. We on the other hand can just cut through enemies in a few hits, most of the time

Both have good qualities -- I'm going teras kasi myself now too

yeah i decided to go tka for there defensise tree i'm tird of having tkas hand me my ass well i'll give them a little bit of there own medican they will not be able to damage me once i get thoughs defence tree and maybe there combat tree as well. i will show them muahahahah. and tought i was done with combat and weapon xp man was i wronge

okat lets compare once a tka gets his mhead hit swordman have nthing on tka. they hit for more damag then we do to them and they do it faster.only thing a master sworcd man an do about thisn is mind bleed him and run. There defeces are insain. i would go tka if it there only weapon was a vibro knucler. And if a tka didn't have mind hit swordman would almost always win.

What TKA has that is good is:

1) Defense bonuses (so just skill up to TKA and take their defense tree).

2) Meditate- A very awesome skill. It stops bleed much faster than first aid can, and it also can end poison and disease faster. (Which is why I'm picking up at least a few boxes of it.)

3) Versatility- They can hit all 3 pools and do very good damage.

That said, they don't get bleeds which is a huge factor. They get knockdowns, but if you go MB, thenso do you.

However, if their mind damage is really higher than ours, then that's pretty **edit**ed up.

DarkBshadow dont get too excited. All u'll get is range/melee defense which decreases enemy's chance to hit u, u wont get their unarmed toughness when ure holding a swordsman weapon Tka's can still absorb much more dmg with their high unarmed toughness.

Another combination with swordsman is to get fencer onehanddizzy2. This will make u a area attack god - run in to groups of ppl ae dizzy, then spam 2handareaattack3. By taking fencer tree, u'll hav the ability to dodge.

Actually ranged and melee defense helps a ton in fights. As stated it makes you harder to hit with whatever weapon is being used against you (regardless of what you have equipped, unlike toughness).

I have a friend with over 70 ranged defense and she is almost impossible to hit with a gun, there was one time she was being shot at by 8 people including two eyeshot-spamming bounty hunters and they could not kill her before they were all killed by the rest of the 4 person group.

I think the TKA Precision line grants you an additional 30 ranged and melee defense which should not be overlooked if you have the points to take it for ANY class.

That being said I disagree with the person that said a TKA outdamages a swordsman in mind damage. Maybe you were using a badweapon (power hammer tends to miss a lot on average especially given a TKA's defense mods) but I have fought several Master TKA's and I almost always come out on top without fail because of how much damage I can do quickly to them.

All i have to say is....knockdown2,

If they hit you with that more than likely your not getting back up, its a KD with dizzy effect. Have fun laying on your back taking 2x damage while you cant do anything about it

you guys might find this kinda kewl but i did a check against all melee classes to see what you'd get if you mixed master swordsman and tka, pikemen, and fencer

76 melee defense

69 ranged defense

65 defense vs dizzy

65 defense vs stun

60 defense vs blind

100 defense vs posturechange (down)

105 defense vs knockdown

25 counter attack

15 dodge

20 defense vs intimidate

10 block

now those are some AWESOME stats period!! talk about a TRUE MELEE BATTLE MASTER!!!

and if those stats ACTUALLY worked as intended which atm they don't due to bugs which the devs have acknowledged that would be one awesome combat man!! and talk about a massive tank also

to achieve this you need this template

btw the template for that would be as follows

swordsman would be 4/4/4/4 aka mastered

tka 0/4/0/4

pikemen 0/0/4/0

fencer 4/4/4/0

brawler 4/4/4/4 masterd

doing this will leave you with 8 skill points LEFT to throw where ever you want... not like it will do much but that's not the point. point is with those stats you would be a tank!!
