This was to keep people from getting the ungodly defense mods above 200 with certain templates
Thanks to Vasarian Brandy I am now the town drunk and ONLY go to the AA meetings to brag about the killing spree done during my drunken rage.

Just to answer the question in the title of this thread.... no, TKA was not nerfed. A Teras Kasi Master has around 70 melee defense and 45 ranged defense.... and no state defenses are anywhere near 125. (20 knockdown, 30 downposture, 5 dizzy if memory serves me correctly).Stackers are nerfed... TKA is not.
It will be nice to see a couple of these hardcore stackers fight in a setting where people can actuallyhit them. In all honesty, taking on multiple elite classes should not stack the defenses anyway. Your benefit from stacking rifleman and TKA is the versatility of being able to use TKA specials as well as rifleman specials. You are already at an advantage by being able to slap a dizzy and a stun on your opponent from 64 meters, why should you also get the added bonus of being harder to hit whenyou actually DO get in close? Knocking someone down and then stepping back 40meters to shoot them in a head with ajawa ion rifle is benefit enough.
...and forthe love of all that is holy, why does one of the most damaging class in the game who also happens to do some of the best mind damage in the game ALSO get adamage type that is the weakness of pretty much everyone in the game (jawa ion rifle of ultimate imbalance)? There is a reason why everyone is picking up rifleman.Is no one on the developement staff taking notice? Why is a stun pistol popping up?? I could previouslytake onthe BH dabblers that spammed eyeshot on me. Now they might actually kill me due to being handed a stun pistol....

I have to disagree with the defences not stacking. I'm not a stacker... but compare real life. If you're a master of different martial arts, you do have more defense. You can counter more aspects and whatnot.
The original post was posted because I was told that there wasa cap of 125 for all stats... not just defensive ones.

Are they going to nerf TKA or will they bring the other combat professions up 2 TKA standards with the combat revamp?

As it stands TK is one of the most ballanced proffesions so I think if either was true they would be bringing other proffesions up to this standered.
However personly I think neither will be true. The devs have said before that the CU/R/B will change all proffesions so I think it might be hard to compere it to as it is now as insted of having our proffesion & having it toned up or down insted it will likly be more like a new proffesion with it's set role.
Thats my veiw on it anyway. Though obviously I can't say that for sure as I'm just speculating, & those that do know can't say either due to the NDA. So you (like the rest of us) will need to wait till you get in to the Beta before you find out.

You'll have to wait until the NDA on the CU is lifted or the devs or correspondents make some kind of announcement.

Two of the moderators who are doing CU beta testing said that they can't discuss it due to the NDA, but that they have no intention of dropping TKA after the CU.
Read into that what you will .

Hmm... I don't think this violates the NDA...
I'm more excited about playing TKA after seeing what's in the CU than I am now.
Ok read into that what you will.

I love all these oblique references.
All the little 13 year old l33t-ettes will be either scratching their heads or reaching for the kleenex, lol
