Teras Kasi is an Extremely unneffective and Weak profession that needs many many improvements, Including a NO or very little HAM cost special system, And far more effectiveness in solo and Group pvp. TK specials are useless and unefective against almost anything. Unarmed hit 3 is a moderate attack but could be made a lot better, what it should do is put every state on an opponent, and hit for more damage, and cost almost none or very little HAM.
Yes, and we should be able to steal a jedi's lightsabre and stab him with it mid duel. Also, we should be able to use the force to grab people's guns from them, float it over to our hands, and shoot them when they kite us. OH, and doing those moves actually HEALS our HAM. Not just health and action, but mind too. Oh, and we'll be able to cook perfect Belgian waffles also, and those give a 45 minute, 10 filling, 1000 point boost to every stat and substat, including ranged & melee defense, and also state defenses too. OH, and if a CH was ever silly enough to PVP, the animals would stop dead in their tracks, bow before us, and then turn on their masters.

Been TKM for more than a week now...
And i have no problem with any mob at all (if you forget the Elders NS)
With the right equipement/food/buffs, the only beasts that harmed me were Ancient krayts/SBDs...
As for the cost of special, i never see my HAM being depleted and i'm a hella special spammer 
So peeps before crying that its not powerful enough try getting a good equipment and good food...
It's sure bugging to encounter High armor peeps/kinetic resistant beasts, but they'll go down in the end if you know what you're doing...
I think its a good balance between offense and defense...
I can Tank any beast i want, and still i manage do do a fairly high amount of dmg.
I cannot dmg as much a a swordsman for sure, nor can i be as defensive as a fencer, but that's what i like with TK...
IT stands exactly as a balance with theses two profs.
as a fairly good dmag dealer and as a good tank too.
Killy... (soon)MDOC,TKM.
Those were my two cents, do not flame please.

To the sarcastic whiner:
TKM isn't the class that can solo anything at will PvE, thats swordsman.
TKM isn't the uber PvP class, thats fencer.
TKM is better than Pikeman, its borked.
But my point is that TKM is very balanced while 2-hand and 1-hand have specialties that TKM can't match.

The TKM was MEANT to be the jack of all trades profession. You can't have EVERYTHING lumped all in one profession, that's how you create inbalance. Swords = damage dealing, pikes = area attacks, fencers = high defenses, TKM = a mix of all.
And that's also the reason why you have 250 skill points. There's no doubt that with those 250 points, you can take on ANYthing in the game. You just have to figure out what to take. Me? I'm quite happy with my template.

I'm finding TKA to be very enjoyable (i'm not going for the BIG BIG stuff yet, but its a blast). I love walking upto a lair, where a highlevel titled marksman is taking, oh, 1 picket. I kill the other 4 pickets before he can take his one. Brings a smile to my face. That and the moves are cool as ****!

I'm almost TKN, and i'm wondering: Just how powerful will i be? Will I, as a TKM with buffs/brandy be able to do solo janta missions on dat? If I can, how much of a challange will they be? What are the biggest things i can expect to easily solo?
as a fencer i dident even wear armor. a swordsman the lair was gone before they say me.
as TKA they run away from me.

3 Ahrisas - 400 X 3 = 1200 Focus
2 Vasarians + Canape = 600/600/600 X 2 = 1200/1200/1200 + 0/600/600 = 1600,1800,1800
1200 Focus or 1600 Mind, 1800 Focus and 1800 Willpower?
Oi dumb**edit**,vasyrian is a drink whereas ahrisa is food. Meaning you can eat both vasyrian and ahrisa together. Idiot..

TKA is a great defensive profession, second to none as far as Tanking ability goes. Also deals huge damage very fast to lightly armored mobs but as many people have already said, TK doesnt have access to anything above AP1 and limited to Kinetic damage type so it doesnt excel at damaging the "super" mobs.
With TK though, full buffs, 80% kin armor, brandy and Ahrisa, and a good build on top of Master TK, you can go toe-to-toe with anything from NS Elders to Krayt Ancients, while a groupmember(s) does the damage with Rifleman or whatever.
