Unless a TKA can move faster than someone else with a weapon, how can we catch

someone who is running away from us, while shooting specials at our0 ranged mitigation. I might consider the definition of a ranged weapon to be that of a gun that fires a projectile or a beam.

Throwing stars, would be like grenades and traps. Those are commado or scout or ranger skills. Why couldn't a TKA or other melee classes, throw stars to hit kiters?

Here's some advice for dealing with kiters: don't be a kite. Seriously, kiting works in PvE because the AI is dumb. Be smarter than the AI. If they run from you to get you in their ideal range, don't follow them like an idiot but back up out of the 64m range. When they try to close then hit /burst and close in to 20m and nail them with a lunge.

In short, kiters aren't much of a problem if you're smarter than a kite.

Hi

I agree with the move faster idea, TK really should be able to move (run) faster in PvE attacks, sohe/she is not getting the "<edited>kicked" out of him/her by someone useing a weapon while running away from you and shooting, because at the moment the only attack we have is UAlunge and thats 20m max, plus its damage is on the low side.

You need to submit a bug report.. Unarmed lunge1 has a range of 20m.

Hi

If your are replying to me then please read my reply again and you will see it states 20m max

as for CDEF pistols/rifle and carbine at that level you would do more damage throwing stones at them.

Nutty, My post was a joke.

In all honesty, we don't really need throwing stars. I like the concept, butthere is no reason to have them.You have lunge. You can get a ranged profession. You can even refuse to be kited. Run indoors. Make people come after you. For all you guys running into range problems with lunge, having VKs equipped decreases your range. You can use any unarmed ability from 10m away, sometimes longer due to server lag.

Hmm...I thought that was MBrawler Lunge2 that was 20m, 15m for Lunge1. Oh well, I'll start lunging 5m sooner then.

being able to kite is a ranged units ONLY means of defeating us tbh!!

as soon as we get within range its a quick lunge attack followed by dizzy a couple of times, he falls flat on his back and you nail his head with headhit1 over and over! he has no melee mitigation and will die rather quickly!

oooh pistoleers get pistol whip, we have melee mitigation! this attack barely tickles us!! (or any melee prof) melee is melee, end of story, im sorry but this is a bad idea! if you want better burst run take up scout! the way it is is fine! if you get kited then thats your own fault! kiters are easy to get in range by the statement made earlier. run AWAY from the kiter! then when he runs back at you, burst run towards them, they will be caugh unaware and you can floor them instantly!

now leave it be!

How about throwing stars to allow TKAs to attack kiters?

Normal starscould do kinetic damage.

Explodingstars do blast damage.

Poison tipped stars do poison damage.

Lots of possibilities.

This would cause much grief with all the other professions, of course.

Nerf it, Nerf it, Nerf it, lol.

any other stupid ideas?
