Thread: KD Defense for TKM's

You might try using the tools that are available now via the chef profession. You could find a friendly neighborhood restaurant and order some "Thakitillo" which will give you somewhere between +30-50 defence against KD. I think many of the so called holes in combat professions are there to support the economy by making combat classes "purchase" products that compensate for those areas the player is lacking in.
I have some BE enhanced stuff gives a a +90.1999 or soemthing KD defense

Now lets go to TK. TK is very powerful, unbugged and very strong in attack. Huge accuracy mods and a large hit. TK sacrifices defense for attack which i believe every one knows. If you hadn't knoticed if you stack Tk with say pistol or fencer for the KD defense you keep the defense with both. If i have TK with its +20 and fencer with its +50 you have a +70 Kd defense and it doesn't matter which weapon you use.
I tanked an NS Elder last night for roughly an hour. It was a lot of fun I think the original poster may be shortchanging the value of stun attacks. From my understanding:
Stun - lowers defenses
Blind - lowers accuracy
Intimidate - lowers damage output
A stunned defense stacker effectively has no defense. The fencer's weak resists to stun make them open for an attack that reduces all their defenses. A TK on the other hand, gets decent defenses to state attacks. Those defenses can also be stacked with food and other professions.
I can see the point in the real world example but TKs would be seen as even more overpowering if it did not require additional skill points to get a good defense vs. KD. Other classes see similar things which don't seem to make sense. For example, smuggler requires more pistol experience than BH yet we are much slower and less accurate. You would think that as much as we used a pistol we would be faster and have better aim. But, if you give the most powerful single pistol shot in the game to a class that also has speed and accuracy, it becomes overpowered.
If you give great defenses to a class that can apply any state, KD and dizzy, attack any pool, sustain incredible damage while dealing incredible damage using an AP1 weapon, we would become overpowered.
Just my opinion...

And as a side note, it's very funny to see TKAs complaining about KD defense or about being dizzy+KDed.
