You pitiful stupid fool.

I'm the one who isn't TKA?

Hitting something with multiple KD's in a row means they don't attack you for a while.

You re-arm your VK's and you get 20+ shots on them.

I'm starting to thing YOU need to know more about YOUR character.

MOB is on their back.... yeah.. thats what the skill was made to do, but it shouldnt kill the user in the process. i think thats the point everyones trying to get at. Whats the difference in me pinning down a MOB and kicking the crap out of it and some marksman DOTing a MOB and letting it die. same concept. without these method there is basically no way to take out extremely tough MOBs without pets, even in groups. Ive seen an entire group killed by 1 mountain squill just because there was no one to keep it occupied.

KD was fine before in PvE because of the time to kill the MOB: xp gained ratio. we can kill tough stuff solo but it takes awhile. Thats why it was useful in groups.

PvP, yeah it sucked and wasnt really balanced, but there are trees to build defense against KD. If you like PvP so much youre going to whine, take the time to build a char with decent defenses.

this message has no real point. im just rambling because im bored.

Ok pre-nerf?

What did you do if your 1st KD missed?

I bet you clicked KD again.

And what if you 2nd KD missed?

I bet you clicked KD again?

And what if your 3rd KD hit...but the MOB didn't fall?

I bet you clicked KD again.



I just queued up 4 right from start.


The holier-than-thou basis for this thread whole thread is a joke.

I never spammed it either. I always used it, beat on the mob for a while, then redid KD as I felt the timer was begining to end. Stacking the KD effect is just dumb and makes no sense why it would work that way.

with my method, i was still getting damaged and still getting incapped.

kd was nice, but it was not perfect.

The people who just sat there and hit over and over, got us nerfed.

hey moron, if kd missed more then 3 times, you would be eating dirt.

nice try, go flame another proffesion, you know nothing of!

Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit.

Where you conclude "i'm flaming TKA" is absurd.



What's funnier is that is the *exact* point I made...in a sort of round about way.


You sure as hell better LAND those KD's... or YOU ARE DEAD.

News flash Einstein. TKs can't tank...they never could. If you can't get a mob on its back you're dead. Plain and simple. The folks who exploited KD were wrong to do so and as a result we got over nerfed.

The example you gave above is a legitimate use of the skill because it did eat away at our Mind pool under too many misses. As it stands now, TK's won't get passed the 3rd KD and will be just about dead without doing any damage to the target and if you didn't pick a ranged class to support you, there is no warning shot to save your arse....your dead before the fight really begins.

I will agree that the cost to use KD was too light before and it was because of this that folks took advantage of it.Now the costis soo extreme that TK's arehesitant to use it because as of 2 nerfs ago, its is harder to land and if you miss, using a second try might get you killed.

There were sooo many ways that this could have been fixed while perserving the TK's ability to be a Mob neutralizer as well as a solid "tank". What was done in the pathc was overkill.

That's it. Right there. The holier-than-thou attitude.

It's my fault we got nerfed.



Did I say TKA's could tank?

"The holier-than-thou attitude."

So why is this a joke??

Alot of TKs were having a lot of fun before the patch using KD but not spamming it to begin a fight, I was one of them. If there was such a huge problem with KD stacking why not make it so it didn't stack. Instead they make it so it can't be used, unless of course you're a gambling man.

In the end, many TKs, like me didn't know it could even be stacked and a day after the patch quite a few of us were standing around the cloning vats saying **edit** just happened??

If this is being holier-than-tho so be it. Most folks here are pretty familiar with SOE and have been aroundthe block to see this happen before. When EQ first came out, they over nerfed Wizards to hell and back because of Kill Stealing. That class didn't recover for more than 2 years and as a result became nothing more than a taxi cab. I have no desire to see the same thing happen to TKs especially since we don't have a taxi certification.

So would you guys say the KD skill is now pointless? I know I don't want to use it if half my HAM goes down trying it just once.I only have 2 TKA special skills so far and they both are bad formy HAM.Is this the intent for all the special skills/moves?

In your opinions, is this game going to become all about whining and getting the elite professions that do work "nerfed"(like TKA) or are they gonna fix the other elite professions (like Commandos) and raise the standards all around?I'm curious as to what you guys "feel" the devs are doing.

I never spamed KD because I did not do enough damage with KD to spam it and I would of used all my HAM bars trying to spam KD with VK on!

DrBonzai.

Can you imagine if Headshot3 used 700 HAM? Or Bodyshot3? The SWG world would have ended from all of the whining and crying.. the people I see play (My roommates, other people at Lan centers..) ALLLL they do is spam those, even getting themselves down to 100 action because they arent being attacked, THEN get mad at the tanks for dying and "allowing" them to get attacked when at such a weakened state.. please..
