Thread: Why is the Brawler correspondent posting that TKAs are overpowered in a nerf thread?
you know what... am really sick and tired of hearing all the nit picking about tka.. if you envey the profession so bad.. drop yours and become a tka and stop running your freaking mouth... so what tka is stronger.. every profession cant be the same... and you know what f**k PvP... thats all anyone seems to worry about... what damage you can do in a 2 min fight ...orhownot to get you a$$ handed to you..... Swg is much bigger than that and if you dont like it ... freaking leave... am sick of the bull $hit...
you have fencer talking about tka ... you have pikeman talking about tka... every profession is so worried about what we do... yet they dabble ever so much in our skill tree.... you guys do to much damage... if its not tka.. then its bh... every profession cant be the same... and SOE.... if you keep screwing the game up everytime one of these butt wipes opens there mouth about what they think tka should be... then you guys deserve what happens next...
yes, every profession can not be the same. yes, in PVP some professions will always have an inherant advantage (melee vrs ranged for example). but if you take a easily defined catagory of classes (melee characters) and pit them against each other, there should be an overall balance. yes, every single character should be unique, i am NOT advocating taking away TKAs unique abilities. im saying that these unique abilities make the TKA overpowered compared to classes in the same "catagory". If you pit 4 fighters in a tournament where they each fight the other once, and they are all masters of a melee profession, and lets say they have the same subskills (CH, docter, i dont care... but no dabbling in other melee professions in this test).
If they have the same skills as the others they are pitted against, who would win the most rounds? the TKA with his power boost, knockdown 2, ridiculous speed and damage is who *I* would bet on. im sure the swordsman would do well too, with all his mind attacks... but the TKA would absolutely rock the fencer and pikeman (assuming that the TKA was power boosted to keep himself alive long enough to get enough damage past the fencers defenses).
now, i am merely advocating not a nerf of TKA, but a changing of the other melee classes so there is more of an overall balance. there are several ways to do this, all you have to do is check the other classes forums (such as lowering the speed cap for fencers, or making so pikemen arent so innacurate).
You know what i say implement all the nerf for PVP only... every single one... and leave the game normal for everything else.. and you'll see just how much of those loosers stop PvP and start complaining about everything else... for each and every tka out there i say... we are the best meele profession.... SO F...KING WHAT.... we suck at pistols.... we suck at swords.. do you see tka complaining about the damage a power hammer does.... PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE'S GETTING NERFED... WE DONT NEED YOUR KIND HERE
the PVP issue i have talked about a bit above. but seriously... this paragraph has to be the most idiotic thing ive seen in the thread.
OF COURSE TKA suck at pistols and swords, they arent swordsmen, fencers, or pistoleers. and no i do not see TKAs complaining about power hammer damage, because the damage is balanced out by the fact that TKAs attack four times faster AND have lower HAM costs.
as in "people like me should be nerfed".... i think you had a wee bit too much of something in your morning cofee, because that makes no sense whatsoever
I don't see what he said as wrong, what he stated is quite correct: When people scream for nerfs they tend to use PvP as an example. Nobody says "Gee, so and so profession is broken because they can own in PvE".
In that aspect he's right. If the game gets to the point where the PvE content isn't challenging, the game is in trouble. Only a small percentage of the game PvP a lot, and they tend to also be the most vocal.
Balance should not be just PvP, it's true.
But one of many thingsthe brawler correspondent overlooks is that there are a great many ranged weapon using NPCs, and creatures with ranged attacks, and creatures with very high resists to kinetic damage. The ability to kill a discreet mob does not an overpowered class make.
There is also the fact that the Devs have said that many mobs are not powerful enough. They should not go around nerfing select classes until the mobs themselves are at the difficulty they intended.

exactly.
If it gets too far, we can always petition him for his resignation as a corrospondent.
Maybe he was simply trying to foster a discussion by stating some facts about Teras Kasi. Maybe he never actually called for a nerf and in fact said that he disagreed with the very title of the topic he was posting in. Maybe it should be ok to discuss how a class is powerful in a public forum even if the facts discussed aren't 100% flattering to the status quo. Maybe this should have been taken as a challenge to provide real arguments instead of a call to character assassinate a correspondent for not doing what he's told. Maybe the person in question plays a TKA as his main and would be directly affected by any nerfs on the profession and maybe, just maybe, he has actually advocated for many issues that have positive affects for TKA's and the other elite melee professions.
Or maybe he is some arrogant, vindictive arse who has it out for all TKA's. Anyone got a rope? It's lynchin' time.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows!
