I like the not strong enough. we are limeted to only one damage type. if we could get diffrent weapons that did diffrent damage. that would be really nice. blast would be great, or stun, even electricity.

Teras Kasi is a martial art, not a charm school for Jedi.

Well, you want to complain about 100% resist to kinetic, but in many cases that is not out of line. Should a TKM be able to solo a Krayt. Never, IMHO.
Example,
Go try to take down a20 ton, 50ft longlizard with Martial Arts only. Lets see how far you get.

It's balanced. Strengths and Weaknesses are mainly well weighed out, in my eyes.

Been TKA for quite sometime and its probably most balanced and all round quality profession ive ever played, the meditation tree nicely rounds it off.

Umm, what level TKA are you. I am a TKM and I don't have any trouble with NS or most high end NPC. There is very little in this game I can't take one on one, or for that matter most things 1 on several.

I have always thought of TK one of the, if not the, most balanced professions. Ok defenses, great offesnse, can lay states plus meditation. Low ap and kenetic only sucks, but it puts limitations on an otherwise great profession.

You are going to be very very dissapointed if thats what you beleive.
As for TKM, it is overpowered if you compare it to pistoleer or carbineer, or even pikeman , if you remove the looted dot weapons from the equation.
However, that is more to do with the broken state of those professions rather than any uberness of tkm.But that is the point of view of people who play those proffs, and why the nerf tk threads used to be so common.
I would suggest to anyone who thinks otherwise, get on the next frog server and try those professions.It really is an eye opener.
TKM has poor state defences, and people complain, but that is a balance to the high offensive power and , of course, powerboost, a unique skill to tkm , that would for sure have to be removed for balance if state defenses on a par with pistoleer etc were added.
I prefer Powerboost, simply because its cool
The biggest downfall of TKM is Armour penetration, and the ludicrous 100% kinetic resist mobs out there.
It would seem AP is going away come the curb, which makes things much better for high end stuff from instantly, and hopefully with all mobs being rebalanced with us 100% resists will be just a painful memory too.
My testcenter chatacter is a tkm/master swords, and for the record, I very rarely use a hammer. Not because fists are better, but because its more fun combat than spamming headhit3.
So TK is the best melee prof, because its the most fun, not the most uber.
truer words never sp0ken

OMG?! not EVERY profession in teh game can solo NS???? thats not right, i want my pistoleer/architect to be able to make brandy and pwn krayts. as for only one dmg type, come the CU same with every other profession.. to me, after playing a TKM/stack fencer/doc on TC5 i feel tka is perfect for the tka themselves but unfair vs others. i feel that just a slight lower in damage output (And by slight i mean bring 2.7-3k dmg per second downto 2-2.5k) would make TKA the most balanced prof in the game.
