Edit:


I meant, "If a master TKA and a master swordsman squared off,notusing "finese moves" (KD, dizzy, blind, etc.), the swordsman will win 90% of the time, because they dish out damage faster than the TKA.

Seems strange to come to the Teras Kasi board (used by Teras Kasis) and
ask them if which profession they would prefer. It seems as though they
would be reading the swordsman boards if they preferred swordsman

I can only imagine you are going to get a lot of 'choose Teras Kasi'
posts here my friend

If you know any PA members or talk to any people regularly in-game, ask them. You will get a better opinon since here you will most likely be just seeing people say "go with TKA" like they said above.

I'm probably leaning more towards TKA... They get dizzy and kd for crying out loud lol - ive been dizzied/kd'd before, and its not fun - cant do a **edit** thing till the dizzy clears


But that lack of bleed/ability to bleed is a good point







With the damage and you get with TKM, you don't need a mind bleed.



Believe me, it is nice, very nice.

Because of harassment from other players I've killed in PVP and constant nerfs (los for poisons,1hp no incap,and most recently: los for ranged stims)I've decided combat medic is just no longer worth it to me. Starting Tuesday I'm going to drop it and work up as either TKA or Swordsman. I'm not QUITE sure which one I want to take yet (leaning towards swordsman). Can anyone list what would make TKA a better choice than Swordsman?

Personally ive never been a swordsman but from what ive seen of the class i can say this. Swordsmne is a very good melee class. the only thing they have on tka however would be dot. swordsman can bleed there opponent, tka's can not. This gives swordsmen an advantage over tka's in battle. All swordsmen special moves consentrate on one specific HAM pool, mainly mind.


However,a tka can attack any HAM bar of their choosing.tka's at this time have the most damage(i think), including2 knockdownmoves.tka's also have power boost, which is a temporary swelf buff. tka's have force of will which will wake you from an incapacitated state. and tka's have meditate, which at the master level will cure bleeding, poison, disease, and will heal all wounds.


Again as i said i am not a swordsmen and have never been one. i am a master tk and have fought swordsmen in the past. All in all i would say that a swordsmen would give any melee class including tka a good fight, but at the end of te day my money would be on the tka to win.


Hope this helps alittle.

Swordsmen hit harder TKA hit almost as hard but alot faster

if your going into PVP and your a Rebel Swordsmen have a nice advantage there powerHammer weapon does Blast damage if you can get something to tank for you you could take out a ATST pritty quick

Yeha, that's a silly change, why would they every require Line of sight for healing and poisons??? They should change that back, and while they're at it remove LoS from ALL area of effect attacks. I mean shouldn't Fan shot not only hit you, but the 5 guys on the other side of the wall from you???

Would +30 Def. Acuity help a Master Swordsman/Master brawler noticably counter-attack more do you guys think?


See I've got these leftover points...

If they were gonna do it they shoulda done it 3 months ago with the first poison nerf so it's not something I start to rely on. Now go away troll.
