Thread: How effective really is TKA in PvP
Man, i have KD'd many TKM's with a lunge 2. And also, i am not saying that TKM is bad, at all. It is infeiror to fencer in PvP. THat is my point. Nothing else. And i have dueled about 10 TKM's now in 2 days.
Most are close matches but i am 7-3.
If you are on scylla, come fight me.
In my experience it's usually the first one to use Warcry. Lately I have rarely had my KD2 stick. (Fencers have a lot of defense mods O_O)
According to the devs CoB is working for TK.I tested it a bit and I was misseda coupletimes but this only lasted for about 10 seconds. But us TK kind of don't have Dodge/Block/Counterattack.. so it makes sense I guess.
Against a Blademaster armor is key, really. People tell me if I lose "Well, you shouldn't have worn armor." I then just ask "Why, so you could have killed me faster?" Fencers don't have have KD2, but they can still knock you down and dizzy you in almost every experience I've had. (Probably lunge2 from Master Brawler, I havn't really looked at the Fencer tree that much) Not to mention it sticks almost EVERY time. Maybe I just have bad luck? I don't think my KD2 has ever worked on a Blademaster. 
TKdo have their health, action, mind hits. With the increased amount of melee fighters, I've found those moves a lot more helpfull than just KD2 and Unarmedhit3.. which a lot of TK seem to think are their only moves... (I myself have been a victem of it untill just recently) 
I will never drop TK for Fencer though. 
In response to legende, "I believe that a fencer can beat a tka" or something like that.
Yes they can, but it does depend on the dueler.
Now for me saying that fencer is better in PvP. You guys are right that i can't prove this until i fight every profession 10 times in each profession and see the results. I was pretty much thinking, heh i can beat the almight TKM that everybody wants to be. Fencer kicks.

So were these TK's wearing armor? If they were you wouldn't have won.
Yes he would of. It's called the "stun baton". Armor matters not... only hinders the wearer

I don't remember if one of the five TKM's actually had armor on, but i bet one of them did. I saw 3 with VK's on. I'm just saying that Fencers can pwn TKM's in PvP over and over.
heh, stupid TKMs then, I know I've never lost to a fencer. Unless they have an actual knockdown move they aren't going to be changing my posture any time soon, I can't remember the last time anyone or anything successfully hit me with a posture down attack.
Most people are too dumb to use it.
Really check your defenses... your TKM skills give you nothing "great" in terms of defending against any of your own moves. Your as easily postured changed as any given noob.
I give Fencer a slight edge in PvP, but nothing that a knowledgable TKM can't easily overcome.
If/when Teras Kasi CoB is fixed, I don't see a TKM easily being beaten, unless by a melee hybrid.
After the fixes to Fencer and CoB, I can believe they will take down a TKA in PvP. But you are using comparisons that do not even fit your question. If the entire game consisted of just TKMs and Blade Masters in 1v1 battles... PvP in general is made up of dozens of combinations and usually groups vs. groups, and so until you have battled a comprehensible amount of every combination and can bring me the results saying that another profession is better than TKM, I'd have to say that one really doesn't know.
And I strongly agree with the thought that it's the dueler that makes the profession.
And TKM/MFencer/MBrawler with a spot of Medic looks like a tasty combo... 
come duel me, wonderhome....

LOL ....I havnet lost a duel or a raid in over a month and well all i do is pvp on this server
and i use tka as dmg dealer!!
Never lost toa fencer since I took TKM. I find your post nothing more then a brag post, you killed 5 TKM's and feel the need to let everyone know about it.
Yippie for you. 
My template is TKA, Master Gunfighter, Rogue Smuggler, and Medic 2140.
My first fight with a Fencer ended badly because I used specials. After changing tactics I now hit them for 2 bleeds, and only special them with unarmed hit3 when warcry sticks. I dont fool with dizzy or anything and I beat the constantly.
The other problem profession is Swordsman since they have mindbleed2. To remedy this I bought a +32 bleed shirt AND +32 injury treatment. I start with the bleed shirt. Once I get hit with mind bleed I switch shirts and hit first aid. It heals within 3 uses every time and the bleed is tougher to stick the second time. Hence, dead swordsman too.
