Thread: TK damage confused
Having doc lets you be the best solo tank, but a pure melee build would give you more damage and better accuacy and higher defenses. And why wouldn't you want crafted armor? Its not hard to get armor that's better than 6000. Granted you got to spend credits as it gets used up, but free armor doesn't make for a better tank, cheaper sure. But we will end up paying as we use up our two looted weapons and are forced to buy more.

i think its 0100 TK that gives improved cob. and no thats not the best tank. you NEED healing to be the best tank otherwise you will die quicker. 4000 doctor in there would make it the best tank.i think tkm/mpike/4000 doc is the best tank. if you would rather use crafted armor than innate, then tk 0100/doc4000/mpike/as much swords as possible might be better. but that would lower CL i think? also, mpike/mdoc/tk0100 if possible is great tank (for improved COB)

I got both new tka weapons. Their damage is in the 700's. Now I looted a pike, which was easy to get btw and it has 800+. We are suppose to do more damage than Pike, but we aren't even equal. Why does our damage suck? Oh wait we get advance cob, which really makes us the best tanks. Thing is we don't and we aren't.
Mswords/Mpike/0010 tka is the best tank. need healing and COB. It depends.When I said 0010 I meant whatever box gets you cob. And if you had a healer backing you up like in other gamesmy suggestion is the best tank. If you mean solo then yeah you needsome doc.
Great damage with a weapon that can be crafted. ive heard using swords/pike specials with katarn knucles is better than any pike or swords weapon. You heard wrong.
Area attacks.
Advanced Intimidate
the best cob. i *think* its 0100 TK thats gives you improved COB and tk also gives you area taunt. I thought it was 0010, but the point you don't see advance bleed or Ad armor break or Ad intimidate at one box in. Cob is a defining ability for tka and its 1 box in.
area taunts not sure what you are saying but TK gives area taunts (not sure if pike does). but you dont need pike for this. Tka doesn't give area taunts, that's swords. It gives a taunt bonus that's all
and crafted armor which is not hard to get and is as good or better than innate. i can still use crafted armor as tkm/pikeman. its my choice. Yup you can use armor from pike and use a pike weapon, but how are you a tka now? Because of cob?

i wouldnt want crafted armor cause im not rich and i only have 150k. it would cost me 1.5 mil at least to get 7000 battle armor. not hard to get just expensive. yes and i know i was wrong about the area taunt see my above post.
