Axkva Min? No...She is 100% resistant to kinetic and electricity. Unless a pikeman already has the weak energy lance by paying tons of cash or killing her numerous times using other means/professions to loot the two items needed for the energy lance, a pikeman cannot kill her. TKA will simply be in the same position.

Attention TKAs: Don't think for a second that you are worse off than pikemen.

if you have a few left over skill points, maybe pick up the scouting branch that adds to terrain negotiation. either that alone or combined with a master chefs food that adds to terrian negotiation, and you should be ok. i agreewith loshuss, a wise person knows when to run.

hmmm kiting is a melee's weakness just as close range (melee range) are ranged users weakness... melee HAS to have a weakness Ranged professions should be FAR FAR FAR better at range and be poorer at close in where melee rules....

Or are ppl after a class that can do everthing.... seems like they do

Aye, being a pistoleer TK, i prefer to do my fighting indoors. keep them buggers close. I am a smuggler after all, built for a good barroom romp

It would be useful if traps actually worked on PCs. It could also give a whole new boost for scouts as they have precious little to offer combat at the moment.

Are u drunk?

Do you actually have a point to make or are you just coming out of the 'idiot' closet?

I personally would like to see our UAleg hit turn into some sort of a slowing attack.. I have suggested it several times, and Ill suggest it again.. this is the perfect fix for our kiting issue. If you are on the heels of your opponent try to lunge them and dizzy them.. this is now staple for all melee as our KD's have been effectively put out to dry because of foods..

When you pvp try to do it indoors if at all possible we have an 8 meter reach without knucklers or with knucklers you can find range powerups for your knucklers and get up to a whopping 16 meter attack range.. but again thats only good for 100 strikes so make em count

• ALLOW US TO THROW OUR VK TARGETING THE PVP'ERS WEAPON, A SUCCESSFUL STRIKE STORES THERANGE WEAPONFOR 15 SECONDS, AND ANY THROW AUTOSTORES OUR VK FOR 10 SECONDS. LIMIT THE ATTACK TO: WHATEVER RANGE, OR TIMER.

OR

• USING A VARIANT OF RUNE'S IDEA, ALLOW A SINGLE THROWN STRIKE TO HIT A PVP'ERS LEG THAT WOULD DROP THEM TO ONE KNEE, OR FLAT ON THEIR RUMP. LIMIT THE ATTACK TO: WHATEVER RANGE, OR TIMER.

OR

• JUST REDUCE THE SUCCESS-TO-HIT RATE OF ANYNON STATIONARY PLAYER. I DON'T EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO DODGE BLASTER FIRE, BUT MAYBE USE OUR WEAPONS A LITTLE MORE EFFECTIVELY TO DEFLECT SOME OF IT.

Why is anyone complaining about kiting? It is our only real weakness aside from our damage types which we share with pikemen as well. the combat range is 64m we own within 20. That is roughly 1/3 of the range that we are able to fight effectively and this is how it should be. I love TK but goddam if you run toward me unarmed or with any melee weapon and I have a gun I am going to retreat and shoot at you and manuever in any manner I can to keep you at MY ideal range. Same works in reverse. Try avoiding open spaces. Confined spaces benefit melee. Kiting does not need to be fixed. It works fine people just need to learn how to combat it.
