Whats with all the dabbler hate? Are some of you complete morons to think that dabbling in TKA is such a bad thing? Are you really even a master, or somehow don't remember what it was to be a nonmaster? There is not 1 single TKA line that even approaches theentirety of benefits awarded by mastery.

Dabbling is an INTENDED part of the game. If it wasn't as soon as you picked novice marksmen you wouldn't even be able to choose any other professions. This isn't thegame that we have. In fact dabbling is encouraged. Check your manuals.

I remember a time when tkm's were applauded because it was somewhat hard to master, and You couldnt really dabble where you wanted... Someone summed it up in that it is impossible for the dabbler but rewards the master. But with these new 40 more melee damage at novice, over double, plus all the speed and everything, alot of people are beginning to dabble in the profession now, just taking our awesome meditation that we once worked so hard for, or just the combat xp defenses (which was always a prob). I would say lets move more of the defense acuity to master, as well as speed/dmg to master, that way people cant dabble still, and its rewarding to a master

Just a thought

PS someone send me a pm to remind me Ineed to add ranger to my sig later

I was planning on TKA Master since day 1 and just finally got around to starting the profession. I hope I don't qualify as one of these weak new players Sometimes it is a bit easy to kill as even a novice TKA

My god val what will they do next..you know it has been about 7 days since I logged in and have not missed it...so there are more novice tk players it seems. they'll get bored with it and move to something else. Heck I have pondered the idea of making weapons...but would hate to just grind grind grind...no I think I will just see what happens on the boards before coming back to play a bit.

I feel like I'm one of those people everyones talking about =(

I intended to master TKA since I first bought the game but I got distracted with other useless endeavors and decided to go back with what I wanted originally. I'm loving every minute of this. I dropped all marksman, I can't even hold a pistol anymore and I couldn't be happier

No Nal...we are not special anymore. It's sad, but it's very true right now. Thousands of tags say master...so few hearts and souls reflect that.

Wow, you all sound like a bunch of girls. Does it really matter. Let the dabblers dabble. Get a life. So there alot more TKMs running around. What did you expect? They fixed a class that use to be broken.

When its broken you cry for it to be fixed...
When its fixed you cry that everyones doing it...

Go outside and get some ass.

Im a TKM, and i dabble in fencing, swords and pike for the defence mods. Who am i to tell someone how they should play. If there happy cool.

(sigh)
nothing worst than a femine man

Rush

Im a TKM and I am special lol, I dont care how many people dabble for my defense mods thats there choice. I have no ranged skill whatsoever, I even dropped MCH last week b/c well its boring. I like melee and I plan on continuing to play melee. If anyone is taking TK just for the mods id go fencer they have some INSANE mods but for some reason are always overlooked. Anyway what was the point of this thread? hell I even lost track of what the point of my post was.... oh well

Oy...

Its a game people, we allplay to have fun. If you arent playing to have fun, then why bother?

Nobody has any right to tell anyone how to play the game. Let dabblers dabble, let holo hunters alone, and who cares if you dont think the person has the "heart and soul" ofa TKM. Get over it, get over yourselves, and go out and have fun.

Amen brother


Heart and soul of a TKA. lol
You really need to get out playa.

I Only have One thing to say, you don't Know How to read... I said " those of us trying to get to master. and I hardly call getting to tka 2,2,3,3 dabbling, I am Not Like many that " go all the way to Power 4, to get xp fast and grind, fact is I decided to take it slow... to learn the skill, Please take the time to read carefully before making assumptions. I am NOT a dabbler In tka, I am aiming for TKM, But the fact remains, that as I see it there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with dabbling as far as I am concerned , How someone else dabbling takjes away from you a TKM is something I never Understood. and still do Not.

This is a skill based game, everyone has the right to dabble, or Not, dabbling is NOT a bad thing. Please since yiu are soooo enlightened , as I am Not, explain to me the negative consequences to others dabbling? I don';t Know of any, I do Not Understand How somone ONLY getting powerbost takes away from your accomplishments. you are tkm, great, it was a great achievement On your part, But to tell ppl, " let's keep this good stuff away from the dabblers smacks of arrogance.

I toiled for months to make it to TK Master, but I don't feel severly degraded by so many dabbling in our Profession. The simple fact is SWG is made for dabblers, e.g. there are no "pure casters" etc. I played my share of hybrid characters in games such as EQ (before my Monk). The old joke for Paladins was "I'm 50% Warrior 10% Cleric and 40% Exp. penalty" Well, since you can completely master more than 1 profession here it's hard for anyone to run around saying they are a "pure" TKA. Quite simply, we are given multiple skill options here instead of having to play multiple characters. Multi chars killed my progress in EQ. So let them dabble, but I wouldn't be surprised if more people decide to then master TK and then dabble in the other professions. It's good to be wanted

I started off the same way and then decided to try two-handed swordsman. I didn't care for that so I am now back at TKA and working my way up to be a master. I think we have the coolest profession out there. I don't care about dabblers. I have dabbled my self. I tried out Carbines and riflese even tried some dancing and musician. There is nothing wrong with it. I think it enhances the game experience.
