No armor pros and cons

Pros: We can were cool clothes instead
We don't have to pay those darned armorsmiths for armor
There will be diversity not just 'composite'

Cons: I can't think of any I'm lazy, you guys can

For cons, you can consider that we lose offensive and crowd-control abilities to not have to wear armor...

TKA had warcry which is the classic crowd control, it's basically a mez. Area attacks are also a kind of crowd control, those are gone.

Also we're 3 of 5 for offense, not 2.

You can also add that TKAs had the ability to drop every state on some one.

Even though it's one on one it is still a strong form of crowd control. Just it's a slower kind then that of a proffesion like pikeman who can drop most of his state giving attacks on everyone (in an area) at once.

I don't understand peoples confusion.

TKA don't *NEED* armor. their defenses will be INSANE.

think of it this way too.

no need to spend a rediculous amount of credits on Composite armor. boo ya.

and as for the uh.. one dude.. who mentioned "we need choices"
you have choices. You can change profession. if you want to wear armor, wear armor.

if you wanna eat a pizza. eat a pizza. but don't be hatin' until you try it out.
personally I LOVE every single change I'm reading about for TK, and some other professions.
I would love a set of Teras Kasi robes and what not. and duel in a TK Dojo with no buffs, no armor. no food. no cheaters. and I would love a profession theme park.

I don't care to read about the negative feedback and all the hating of the CU from people who are so closed minded they made up their mind before it even came out to testing. For once I hope the Devs ignore the negative feedback of all tihs, because I want this to go live.

TK w/o Armor > ALL

TKA get natural armour

Correct. As of now they get 20 points of Teras Kasi armor at Novice, 10 pointsspread across0400, another tenspread across0040, and I think it was 20 at master (not sure about that one, though). We won't know what all that equates to until we can test the elite professions. And all of it is subject to change.

So... if I'm a TKM and a M Commando, I can wear armor as a TK? Or... what?

What your gonna want to do is decide what your role is going to be in a group. If your gonna be a tank, toss the flamethrower, dude. If your gonna do whatever commandos are good for (destroying lairs - you probably won't need armor and that was the only use out of commando I could ever find - and in smaller situations where melee are all up in your face, flamecone2 as good at setting thier @$$es of fire and doing a considerable amount of damage when you could actually get it to stick) If you choose commando, wear armor, and make sure its really good armor.

I'm pretty sure the Devs are -somewhat- more intelligent to just screw TKA over and not making them TANKS and making their title (in the diagram) "avoidance" if they were easy to hit.

I would like to think, anyway...

If your gonna solo, which it doesn't look like you'll be able to do I wouldn't do Commando. I had a hard enough of a time PvE ing as commando by myself.

Back when I used to be a M Commando, PvE was really easy. I could literally fry anything. The only drawback was that it took up so many SPs, you really couldn't get any usable medic skills. Aside from that, PvP was a joke... just no go withCommando.

However, it seems Commando is finally getting some love in this CU thing and may actually be viable again.

But, mainly, I'm a TKM... always will be (click my guild tag link). I'll base my complimentary professions on that.
