Orius,

The point is just that it is crazy to have THAT high of HAM cost. I too am getting used to it, and can quite cabably kill a nym, thank you (they are easy cause they are humanoid btw), but as I posted above it is russian roulette to have the things in your toolbar. If you make a mistake, you cap yourself. Its that simple and it makes no sense.

For some reason macros do not work in my client. I have typed them exactly as people suggest, and they do not work (the toolbarslotxx function to be precise) and no I am not stupid. I have to manually remove them before I do a KD and sometimes do to lag or graphics latency I have been caught using an extra KD that I didn't need or hitting with VKs on. I agree that this is my mistake, but I shouldn't commit suicide over it.

bigritchie used KD to prove a point, I'm sure he doesn't go around KDing lairs all the time. They are pretty stationary as is.

I don't mean any ill will by this. I am getting used to the nerf, but the point is the game is a lot less fun as I think is indicated by the week-and-a-half of solid protest that we've seen.

over and out, Aurilius.Starsider.mTKA

Having to take it off isnt a sign of class is broken. We are the *unarmed * Steel hands... We are not the knuckler's.

lol since when do babies hit the same as adults.

The fact that we can do that much damage to ourselves wearing armour and vk without just instantly killing the target or something is a problem though.

here are screenshots of me killing a nym's elite pirate. my health bar is kinda deceptive cuz it took me a while to get the setup so i could get everything into the screenshot. it shows my health as almost full, well i admit that when i killed the mob i was down to about 150 HP and around 400 action, my mind was almost untouched. The battle was too long to fit onto one screen so there are two screenshots. notice my character sheet shows i have no buffs, my skill sheet shows that i have just the meditate line and master precision to go before master TKA. It shows my drink bar as 1/3 the way full. Im not sure where that came from because i havent eaten or drank anything since the night before when i was in a group and we were all buffed.

I'd say our class has gone through a lot of phases... in the beginning, we were rediculously overpowered (in PvE anyway) and then came the initial wave of nerfs to berserk and knockdown. It's ok, Mr. Murphy reared his ugly head, but we're still at SNAFU (Situational Normal, all F*cked up).

Everything was going fine, until jealous ranged classes whined that they couldn't match us in close combat (jee, I wonder why...?) So we then we got screwed with the HAM cost nerf. We the nerf, we hit TARFU (Things are REALLY F*cked up).

Now we get boned with this timer jazz. If it's anything like what it sounds, then melee classes will be completely outdated, to be replaced with lame "pets" from fp's and CH's.

I'd say it's safe to claim that we're officially FUBAR (F*cked up beyond all recognition).

also, i would unequip my knucklers before doing any styles but once the styles were done i would go back to knucklers.

Orius, are you listening to anyone at all. The point that is being made here is that we SHOULD NOT have to un-equip our weapon to perform a special move. We are the only class in the game that has to do this.

we are meant to fight unarmed. they added knucklers in as a way to augment damage not to be used as our primary "weapon". our fists are our primary weapon. and thats not what the post started as, it was someone saying our class is "fubared" and that he died to a butterfly and im saying thats sad. the mob i fought was 10k hp that hits for around 100+ per hit . what do those butterflies have for hitpoints? 100? and what do they hit for? 10 dmg? Sad.

lmao- SNAFU (Situational Normal, all F*cked up)

Yeah a baby should be able to 1 shot incap you if you have 1hp. Get better armor (or remove it), migrate to higher strength, quickness and focus if your are gonna be using a lot of specials, and above all, never use knockdown with your vibro equiped.

"Babies hit for the same amount as their adult variations, they just have fewer HAM points."

It's true. Those babies that spawn and kite me while I am fighting an adult are a real annoyance as they can do substantial damage.

what does the number of posts i make have to do with anything? I've been playing this game since beta. I played a tka in beta and i started playing toward tka the same day the game was release to the public. Rest assured that i'm WELL aware of the issues with tka.

So that being said, I still fail to see how we are borked, nerfed, and rendered unviable? I continually see posts saying '(insert profession) can do this damage' or '(insert profession) can spam (insert ability) all they like'. They aren't done balancing all the professions. Yes, pistoleer can spam pistolwhip till they're blue in the face. So what? fencers, polearms, and swordsmen doing more damage then we are? so what? Don't use a profession thats unbalanced as a baseline for comparison, you'll looked 'borked' every time and to the best of my knowledge none of the professions are completely balanced as yet. The devs are working as hard as they can tweaking this or that profession, fixing bugs and exploits and they'll get to it all eventually. Have a little patience and enjoy the game.

If your not enjoying the game, if ur not having fun then don't play. come back in a few months when the professions are balanced and the bugs are fixed. It's that simple. but for me, I'm still having fun. killing tuskans, doing missions, killing tuskans, doing jabba missions, killing tuskans, wandering across the different landscapes, killing tuskans, doing faction raids, killing tuskans, designing my future city, planning the extermination of all tuskans, ect....(yes i hate tuskans that much).

The way TKA is now is not the same as it's gonna be 3 months from now (or even 1 month for that matter). My advice to all of you playing TKA is this, have a little patience, post your concerns and wishes in simple (non-flame)posts, relax, and if possible enjoy the game.

I'm sorry if i offended anyone, that wasn't my intent.
