TKA alone is useless in PvP. Along with Fencer it is much better, but you will die very quickly against combat medics, or people with high stun/Kinetic resistant armor. Some TKA/Rifles/combatmedic is the best (and cheapest) pvp thing. you can beat anyone with that template. Very unbalanced.
i dont agree there yes fencer great defence , but im tkm only no other melee i droped swordman , and i can still kill a fencer easy if you know what you are doing

im going to say what i always say. a tka that knows what he is doing can beat a fencer any day. a tka that knows what he is diong can beat almost anybody. the sad thing is 90% of tkas dont know what they are doing.

Vibrators existed before Combat Medics, it's simple really.

Seph hit it dead on. (Except for the last sentence. No point in making someone feel bad bro) When you go into PvP you need to know your enemy, and yourself. If you don't have doctor, dancer, musician, brandy, synthsteak and thaktillo(or whatever food you like) buffs, a full stun suit and PSG, your going to die very quickly.

People looking forward to some supernerf are going to get pretty dissapointed. All CM's are getting nerfed is:
1. The max range for combat medics is no1 56m(ish) instead of 90 or so.
2. Poison cast timeincreased to 4 seconds. About 0.25 secs more then before in other words 
It really sucks, CM's need a HUGE nerf or needs to be disabled and taken out of the gameASAP. I am a combat medic so no one holds more credability then me. Not even docs can beat me, they cant heal my poisons fast enough

you have officially placed yourself in the 90% group. you dont know what you are doing if you go into fights without 36-40% stun 80-90% base comp armor and 46%+ stun PSG. Add synthsteak to that and theres another 40-45% resistance against their attacks. if they are intimidated thats that much more damage not being done. Add in your unarmed toughness and you are one hell of a sponge. you absorb almost all hits from anything with AP0 and does stun damage (stun batons and geo pistols). now to wear this you will need buffs of course so when they do their 10-20 damage with their stun batons you regen it way before you are hit again.
Now please tell me how much of that you dont do.Message Edited by Seph_Iroth on 07-11-2004 04:09 PM

Only TK will get you in trouble...
I am
TKM (previously most hated PVP prof)
Master Pistoleer (loads of people laugh out loud at pistoleer...untill they meet me)
Master Smuggler (dirty fighting )
)I noticed I get more damage in with pistols usually...but though opponents I need to "prep" first with TK (applying states, KD)
I don't mean TK can't take anyone down, they can, but I just get the job done with pistols better....
WITHOUT my TKM my pistoleer would be mostly useless though. The fact I have nice pistols helps too (DX2 1.5 120 284 Geo 1.8161 474)
(DX2 1.5 120 284 Geo 1.8161 474)with TK you usually need to wear down your opponent...an option you usually do not have in group PVP
In a duels I don't often lose...but fencer/doc's seem to be most troublesome
In short not one professions is good for PVP (except those blasted CM poison chucink GCW-killers) it's you template...but most importantly YOUR SKILL!!!!!!

Exactly. Have any of you people used ONLY just one profession in PvP? If you actually say yes to that I bet you have lost almost all your fights against people that know how to play their multi-profession characters. I rely mostly on my rifle skills for fighting in PvP but I would be useless without it being backed by TKM.

Not really the best all around profession atm, but for defense atleast melee it is the best choice. With that nice 57 unarmed toughness good armor psg damage reduction food and intimidate. You can take alota punishment. Although for offensive purposes a good acklay baton is still probably better for quickly laying the beatdown on your opponent. Although theres alota things you can do to prevent stun damage so its just a matter of wearing down their mind... And if your lucky enough to get somone kd'd it won't be very long...
