i really, really tried to give it a chance, but i'm really, really disappointed in post-cu tkm. while in the past, i really felt like a tank and could at least keep enemies aggroed on me while in a group so they didn't go after the ranged fighters fighting with me, i now have to run all over the place attempting to taunt things while waiting for my timer to finish it's job so i can try and taunt again or attempt to knockdown or any of the seemingly other useless specials (all five of them) we have. i understand that we don't do much damage, which i'm fine with, but if i could at least keep things on me rather then having them go after whatever is currently shooting at them, i'd feel mcuh more worthwhile. sure, the defenses are great, but what's the use if your enemies are going after everyone but you?

and perhaps i haven't tried it long enough, but i'm so frustrated at this point and so sick of what tkm is now compared to what it used to be that this is grounds for me to cancel my account. i really loved tkm before....i loved taking the abuse and being beat on and even incapped if it meant that i was keeping other people in my group alive.

it's just very sad to me.

If they would fix the combo attack and a few specials, TKA would still be a great profession. Okay, my only other complaint is the animation for our specials. I'd like to see the old ones.

I've enjoyed playing TKA in the CU. Its very rare that anything I fight can do much damage to me (unless I get ganged up on too much).

People need to realize this is not an offensive prof and is a very defensive prof...

TKA is the most amazing tank I've ever seen...I paired it with 4-4-0-0 doc and can totally stand my own (until my mind dies). Even the special costs are very nice...action getting low? oh look I can unequip my knuckler and do specials while my bars regen....can any other prof say that?

Above all TKA's have the BEST armor system in the game! we can wear any piece of clothing as our armor...that means BE'd clothing (the new +15 unarmed dmg/+15 Terrain Negotiation anyone? +16 melee and ranged def????))

If you don't like TKM because the the dmg issue...you aren't looking at it as a whole proffession.

I've read this post in earnest as I am going TK but am not sure what to do re armor. I was going TK before CU and didn't want to drop it. Inst3ead saw Respec as a way to get aother couple of boxes (now TK 0-0-1-0 rather than just unarmed 4 previously) and to get Commando without grinding Rifle. Because I am also, Commando I have a full set of Assault armor but if I wear it as TK then I'm so slow. However, as TK nov/stud at mo wearing normal clothes results in me taking more dmg than I do with the armor on. I know about Innate Armor but I presume that this is not high enough yet. Are there any suggestions on what I should do re armor at the moment - I could wear the comp on my top and stick to clothes on legs and feet or do I persist with no armor fora while?
