8,000 * 0.4(intimidate2) * 0.43(toughness) *0.16(armor) = 220 damage

you can't tank krayts with intimidate1.
Im TKM & Master brawler with 68% composite and cant do it. Intimidate 2 drops dmg by 60% and krayts can hit for 8k, thats a 3200 max hit, I dont care how buffed you are you will die.
i just wanted to show that you can play a melee and can be very effective an tanking high end stuff. sure you need to be a doc (or have buffs), BUT this game gives you 250skill points. dont expect to spend less than half of them for the tka profession and do the same things as someone who spent 250
by the way, you dont need kd2 and uah3.. i fought the same mobs at tka novice with only uah2. you can just dish out more damage much faster.
and to all the guys who tell me a ranged profession with buffs can do the same thing: no way. i have a bounty hunter as well, and i buff him all the time. sure he can take some more beating, but you can tank something. you dont have stun, intimidate, melee toughness. all these 3 things cut the damage of your opponent in half. dont forget the additional damage you take from wielding a ranged weapon.
all i wanted to show is that you can play the game this way, that you can be a tank (with some massive damage output as well) and have a lot of fun
ya and some of us are wookies...ok nm only about 5 tka wookies left, now that TKs can use armor effeciently....SOB is there any class that a wookie can play! hehe
you buff up and armor up. i bet i could find a way to kill you being a wookie at a disadvantage *winks*
Of course in PVE a TKM is a more effective tank than a pet.
We heal cheaper and faster.
We debuff the mobbetter.
We dont run off.
We dont auto store.
We dont complain of being hungry every 5 minutes.
We are better able to hit specific HAM pools.
We dont stop at server borders.
The ranged fighters can actually target the mob around us.
A lot of us are medics to some degree.
We can easily redirect our attack to any adds.
Plus the most important thing, we are all much more sexy lookingwhen we fight than a graul.
I alsocontribute good conversationto my group. Not just "Oblio play" "Oblio hungry".
Speak for yourself
