So you are saying that KD is your ONLY move?
Well, maybe, since every single tka i've fought has done nothing but spam kd2.
It's tough to get all fancy on someone's @ss when they are running from you. If your fighting another melee class then you can get fancy as they aren't going to run. If your fighting a ranged fighter you need to stick him fast. Sure I can stun someone but what's the point if things lag and then he's out of my range?
Interestingly enough, when I see swordsmen fight they always use their mind attack. Is that all you guys can do? Oh yeah, wait. PvP is about killing the other guy as fast as possible. Why waste your time with attacks that aren't going to help you toward that goal?

well since I don't think I'll be back to wait for someone to ask, "Oh!..well,what happenedRyushi?", im just gonna answer it now 
.
.In a group PvP raid there was a bunch of Overts no more than 3m apart (Good for Pikeman, heh heh) unaware that I somehow attained TEF, I bum rush into the middle of the group(About 5 guys)and pause for a few seconds because I forgot to get my PvP lance out of my bag. By the way, my PvP lance is health disease strength 40, duration 20minutes with a health poison (Forgot the poison stats). So as soon as I get my lance out I use /areaKD and surprisingly, all of them KD'd on the first hit (Virtually impossible), so I then proceed to spam my areahit2 and spin2 (both are AoE's that dizzy, but I wasn't using them for the dizzy). The results were, 5 angry imperials eachdiseased for over 200+ a tick.... 
Of course I didn't expect to live long, soon after one of them gets up im dead.......but once they DB'd me they didn't last that long either =o).

(not just because of the HAM costs ) And since my Pikeman is Rebel it makes perfect sense

Do you just browse the TKA threads looking for excuses to post?I think so, because I've seen you do this several times now, interjecting into a thread with something completely irrelevant. Not that this thread was useful or interesting in the first place, but come on now . . . go to the pikeman forum for this.

You can't spam KD2, there is a 30 second timer where you are invulnerable to a TKs KD attack, after he uses it on you once,whether it KDs you or not. So he can spam it all day, but for 30 seconds it won't do diddlie crap to you. All he'll be doin is burning up precious HAM on a move that won't work for 30 more seconds.

Actually, the 30 second timer doesn't take effect until the target is knocked down. But even that isn't why you don't want to spam knockdown. If you use knockdown on a target that is already knocked down, it makes them stand, thus if you spam KD, you're going to knock them down, then make them stand and THEN you won't be able to knock them down again for another 29 seconds.
PvP'ing with any combat prof has advantages and disadvantages. I'm still surprised at how many people complain about this class or that. More than the class you have, it's the way you play it that determines how successful you will be. I'm not saying that all classes are perfectly balanced, because they're not. You just have to realize that not all classes are best suited for PvP. Some are best suited for PvP, some for PvE, and some are suited nicely for both, but not best for either.
TH once said in response to TKA whining about kiters that if you catch them, you'll kill them, if you don't, you wont. Not his exact words but that's what he said. Although this isn't always the case, it's a pretty good rule of thumb. Someone withbuffs and 80%+ kinetic resist armor is going to be MUCH more difficult to kill than someone without buffs, the armor, or both. As master TKA, I beat on a commando hybrid (not sure what other skills he had) for over 30 seconds while he was knocked down. I was using a knuckler sliced for dmg, a powerup for dmg and did nothing but head hit. The most I ever hit for was 20 dmg. When he finally stood up through dizzy, he incapped and deathblowed me. Later, I asked what the hell kind of armor he was using and the response came, 90% composite. I was distraught that after all that time he spent on his back I could not kill him, but let's face it folks, he used more thought than I did as I had no armor. Now I don't PvP without at least a helmet.
The way you prepare for combat and act in combat has a greater impact on your performance against any class. Fight the different classes differently or eventually you will be owned, no matter what your template. Period.

OK OK. I'll make you a deal. We'll stop using KD if you promise that no ranged user will ever move at all. From now on, all your people will just stand still and die like good little boys.
Is it a deal?

Oh im sorry I've trodded onto your sacred forums, if you wish, I will not post here anymore because obviously you don't think I belong here, even though I belive I've been a TK much longer than you have, but correct me if im wrong, maybe you just don't post often. I'm sorry if it was competely irrelivant, I guess I am not allowed to share stories in any other forums, even in threads about, "I got killed by a ________ so im going to whine" posts.... Please, forgive me for wasting your oh so precious time.Now stop whining....do you look through posts JUST to whine?...

I don't have a problem at all losing to TKM. I just don't like being knocked down and not being able to get up for 20-30 secondsDefensive tweaks could remedy that pretty easilty. If things stay like they are then everybody will go the way of TKM.
Is it really teras kasi artist's fault that you don't know how to get up from a dizzy? Allow me to help you. In order to get up from a dizzy you simply /stand ONCE!. If you get the "you're so dizzy" message then press it once more again waiting for the dizzy message. The secret is instead of spamming /stand just do it one /stand at a time. Now I've used this to great effect and can usually get up from a dizzy within 5 seconds. If this doesn't work for you then either I'm exceptionally lucky or you're exceptionally unlucky.
