Intimidate is great and don't forget about War Cry also.

As far as skills, personally I took Balance & Power 1, then Meditate 2(for Power Boost for more mind), then took Power 2,3,4, then took them up evenly until Master.

At the moment, I'm doing arachne hatchlings and bolle bol colts on Endor. The mission payouts are 3-6kcr per lair, and the exp is about 15-20k per lair.

I use muon gold to boost my mind, though an Entertainer buff would be much better. I use speed sliced VKs, though I'll be changing to damage sliced when I've trained Power Techniques IV.

I put on armor, beat up the first four at the lair with KD and UH2. It takes two to four UH2s to eliminate each mob, depending on luck. I usually have to throw a heal at myself after two mobs, because of the damage I do to myself with the specials.

Once those first four are dead, I take off my armor, and UH2 the lair once. As each subsequent creature pops, I KD&UH2 them, and they're dead before the next one pops. At this point, the ONLY damage I am taking is the damage I am doing to myself - they don't get in a single hit. If I'm patient I can do the lair without healing myself, but I've got the stims, I've got the skills to make more stims, I'd rather save the time.

Using TK specials is a balance. Armor+VKs+Specials is not a good combination.

Yeah, I'm a master doc going up the TKA tree right now and I basically migrated almost all my points out of the health/action tree and stuck them into my mind, lol. think my mind bar is 1075 with focus/willpower near 700-750 or something.

what you need is some good 75% kinetic armor and fight easy **edit** like rontos at first to get good quick xp. i picked it up at novice and was half way done with tka within 2 days. the only drawback is if you fight anything that spits. next advice, if you dont already have it, work on getting power boost. i dont grind without it. i wouldnt suggest going to a advanced planet tillyour about 2 1 2?.

i am 0121 tk. i haven't migrated my stats but after reading some posts from this thread that will change. i wear no armor, get master doc buffs and take fishnak and some other food and wipe out quenkers in no time at all. recently solod a piket mission with that. just had to keep them from aggroing on me at the same time.

My advice:



Go to talus, find a mission terminal and/or find tortur spawns. Kill them till you have 0/0/4/0 then work on precision striking and balance at the tusken fort on Tatooine.



This is what I did, I got TKM in a week doing this. I also don't just spam unarmed 3... I use each special depending on the need.


I created a macro that does dizzy, KD, then adds the state effects. I use this to great effect, then follow up with either unarmed hit 2 or 3.


Get doc buffs when fighting torturs though....





"There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it, some could not speak. They held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down prisoners at my lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left.
Then Jean de Rrye, an aged knight of Burgundy who had been sore wounded in the fight, rode up to the group of young knights and said: "are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For the battle is fought to be won, and this is what happens if you lose."
