Ever Heard of the One Inch Punch..... a martial artest could crush a persons rib cagewith a strike from One Inch.....that would stun me... or cause loss of breathing...
Ever seen road house..... getting your throat riped out could cause lots of bleeding....
no armor= good, fast=good, dodge/counterattack=good.
Lets pretend this is real life for a minute... someone comes at you with a knife or a sword, what do you do? try to step out of the way and counterattack... or pick up the closest object and throw it at them but that is a different board. i would also love to see the martial artist who could use his training in a full suit of any heavy armor... tka's are fast, proficent, agile combatents who are fast on there feet and quick thinkers. leathal killers who can kill 30 different ways. sweeps andAoE should also be up'ed. damage should go down. TKA's should not hit as hard as a swordsmen but should put out damage faster. kddefense should go up. and anyways this is how i feel and it is all myopinion. many have said what i feel, a lot better than i have. hope you can figure out my ramblings. make it into what you want.

Ahh.... Gods golden rays of joy are raining down upon me..... wait a minute THAT'S NOT RAIN....

little off topic but heh i dont care, i know stacking def etc will be gone soon. One thing that tkm needs is to have powerboost moved to master and something else in place of it in tree. Why? u may ask b/c im sick of people ripping off powerboost going 4 0 0 4 tk, its bull**edit**.

I have taken a bit of martial arts (14 years) and I am familiar with SWG/Star Wars and the like. I invision the 2 to be similar. Martial Arts and TKA to me are not a guy standing in full armor taking shot after shot and living to tell the story. (Imagine a knight in armor fighting Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee/Chuck Noris etc...).
In a real martial arts contest you get hit a few times no matter how good you are, you go down. That being said, why block if you have nothing but your arm to block with? I am NOT going to stop a 2hd sword with my arm, bad results I should think 
Focus on Counter Attack, Dodge, anything that is not absorbing the damage in a block.
Focus on Counter Attack, Dodge, anything that is not absorbing the damage in a block.NO armor. I am sorry but it makes no sense for ANY brawler to wear armor (IRL). Picture Boba/Jango Fett doing martial arts and not hamming himself to death. He would drop from exhaustion in 2 mins. (restated 2x's in this post because it is that important !!
Offense I would make us a more focused 1 on 1attack. Save the AoE for a sword/pikeman who can easily swing around and hit multiple people. I Have NEVER used the 3 pool hit attacks unless it is to finish off an almost done creature. Speed Speed Speed. A human (Player) hand is only so hard. If I can punch something as hard as a power hammer, my hand would be crushed....but by the time you swing that bad boy around I can punch/kick you 3 times.
I think our damage without VK's is about right although I would trade more power for more speed.
Powerboost is nice, I like the time it lasts....just about right for a few Mobs before I need to pay attention and watch the timer. I would not trade it one way or another for length vs. power.
Meditation is excellent and well needed. One Mob that sets a nice bleeder can give 200-300 points of damage in 1 on 1 fight. If we are to tank and take massive wound damage this is a must. again would not change this much except with the one fact that we also take massive ammounts of BF. What if we could heal this slowly at MASTER. I am not talking fast at all here, perhaps 1 BF every 2 seconds. This would mean on longer warrens/dungeons when I finish with 300 BF and the pistoleer has 25 I could even the score a tad (not needing this in meditation, just a suggestion).
Since I am a master TKA and doctor, I like buffing and then going out solo. I am so tired of having to find a CH or other player to group with to get a decent mission. I would like to see where TKA has a bit of responibility in the Dark Jedi (NPC) control.
Other than this, I have no complaints with TKA. Compared to some of the Doctor/ Smuggler/ BH/ Commando/ Pikeman accuracy 
/etc etc etc problems out there. I would rather see them fixed and then come on back to us.

- I would love to see our defenses increase, ie melee defense (gain more melee at a cost of maybe losing some ranged def, say 5-10), definately increase def vs kd, dizzy and blind. the others are ok. It doesnt make sense that a pistoleer has more defenses in the def vs area's, and that a rifleman has more melee defense than a TKM
I see TK's as being the speed of the melee w/ the lowest dmg. I would trade our previously buffed dmg for a new dmg type, a bleed and/or more defenses.

The combo attack is not the best thing for the tera kasi. You dont really need to hit two bars. And beeing a martialartist in real life you would suggest replacing it with:
some sort of counter attack or the good going in split and hit the other guy in the grion (some sort of lowblow) It would givea great animation.

i think TKA's should get some kind of new weapon, or possibly be able to hold 2 VK's.......... but that is just me

I would like to be able to dodge attacks as good as pistolers
I think it would suit us even better, many pistoleers do not like dodge because it makes them delay when they are running away, most of the time we have people running from us as opposed to the other way around, I think a dodge ability would make much TK sense.

Any real TKM would know that we are pretty balanced. We have no need for more Dmg.
I myself would actualy like to see some changes in animation for TKA. There should be an option onto what type of Martial Aat we are using just based on Visual effects. I think this would be an Awsome Idea to add some personal flavor to any ones TKA. ie... Tai kwan do / Drunkin Boxing / Mui Tai / Coppueda (i think thats how its spelled lol)
You would have to find the trainer of that type of Art or learn it from someone else.
Keep in note that it would not change any mods or stats. Just some Signatre Style

I think we should get some more dizzy and change posture defenses. Right now we are owned by Master Brawlers/Fencers because of low dizzy and change posture defenses. Move ham costs should be at same lvl of pistoleers.

Currently are moves eat up our mind like crazy. It is a ham bar we can't heal. We can't be tanks if we mind incap ourselves. We are not balanced right now. We are at a disadvantage.

To fix you mind unbalance start Drinking Brandy ( with can be stacked ). There is also a new food that gives + on focus and will that also can be stacked... time durations and stats on the stuff i got (Drink) 200 at 44 min on all mindand (Food)300 at 36min Focus and Will. And like i said, these are stackable.
