I personally think TKA is one of the strongest profession in the game unbuffed as a dabbler or before master. Unbuffed and with a rifle out, I can use 4 specials before I have to stim away the damage I've done to myself, carbines are even worse. Even with your 1121 level, you already have +24 unarmed toughness which is like having extra, zero encumberance armor on. Levelling TKA I was able to kill huurtons, pickets and quenkers all day, even after my buffs ran out. With buffs, and even when just working on novice I was able to tank 3-4 nightsister sentinels/protectors at a time - not many other profs can boast that kind of ability at such a low level.

Just a question...why is your main playing char on TC? That is why you are having problems, everything is different on TC. Make a char on a live server if you want full play.

I did all of TKA to TKM without buffs and I found it to be much more satisfying and enjoyable than any other profession I've tackled so far. And I can count on one hand the amount of times I died and I can also give you the reasons why: I got carried away, attacked when I should have waited or took on something that was too powerful for me.

Here is what happens when I use my two different professions unbuffed:

Pikeman:

4 moves --> Stim (that is if I don't get hit in the process)

TKM:

kill beastie --> Stim (maybe 1 in between because I got hit badly)

Do your math

loomis, I respectfully disagree. I'm just coming to TKA from Pistoleer, cuz the little blue cube told me to, and I gotta say, this profession is very powerful compared to pistoleer. Now, I'm not trying to start a flame war but Pistoleer needs to be fixed - badly! I was simply amazed at the amount of damage I was able to do as a Nov TKA as opposed to a Master Pistoleer....they are very close! So no....I do not believe that TKA is gimped early on.

Perhaps your having trouble because you are taking on too hard of mobs. I'm easily able to solo yellow con mobs and because of my medic skills (0040) and my drugs(stim-Ds) I'm usually able to be a red con. Yesterday, I was taking out 3 stormtrooper missions without tooo great of difficulty.....now they were NOT easy and I had to be careful and smart...but it was possible. However, with todays patch...I don't know...I haven't tried.

Suggestion: I have found Rori to be an excellent place to level TKA. I hunt Shallow Tortons (about 1,250 xp per critter and they don't protect each other) and all sorts of other smaller creatures like VirVir. Yeah VirVir don't give that much xp per kill but attack a lair, get them all on you, then SpinAttack 1 and watch the carnage!! It's glorious!!! And good xp, when you total them up. Side benefit is low chance for incap/death. The XP per minute is simply amazing to me and I've already leveled twice in about a day and a half.

I dunno who posted about going from Nov to Master in 6 hours but please....post more info on this. I doubt that that is true, but if it is....please share how you did it.

It was quite easy, just get in a large group and hunt, IgotTKM with a wookie before the wookie armour release. You´ll want to be grouped, because you get the bonus xp, plus being more people tends to take some critters off you. Now with the warcry nerf its a littleharder though,since you could just knockdown and warcry or just do a warcry to get a critter off you for awhile, as you beat it to a pulp. Now it will attack back after you´ve freezed it. It feels like Intimidatehas beennerfed somehowtoo, but it´s still worth using, iirc it greatly reduces the damage you take. The thingwith the VK´s is you have alot more ham costso just don´t spam specials, you have even more cost with armour since your secondary stats are lowered thus increasing ham cost and recovery time even more, just add a few status effects then attack normally. As you get and increase unarmed melee mitigation you will take alot less damage (in melee), and use center of being. Go up the power line first since the more damage you do the more xp you get, and the quicker you will kill the critters.
