Thread: I dunno about the rest of you...
Someone asked earlier about pet help, yes I had pet help. I'm not a CH master atm but was in the past (I dropped it in protest at the nerf then realized it wasn't so bad so I'm working back up to it). The first rancor I mentioned soloing, however, I did solo. I should note first however that most of my knockdowns worked on the first try in that fight, and it should also be noted that rancors have a low kinetic resist and with armor 1, really aren't very well protected. That being said, it was still a close fight, when I finally killed it I had almost no ham, and my last knockdown was about to wear off, it was literally down to the last second. Since then I have always used pets when fighting rancors, I typically use a kliknik queen because they have great defense so if a fight is getting too close I can just back away a bit and let her do the tanking, making the entire thing much easier.
Again tho, my first fight was very much solo, without pets...it was something I had to try just to see if it could be done, and it can. It shouldn't be that hard to believe tho...all it takes is a couple lucky knockdowns, any tka master has the potential to pull it off (I've also killed night sisters without pets, just takes a lot of deaths until that one time you get stun/knockdown2 to work correctly =).

Liriel, thank you for the candid and honest response. Again, I just wanted context for your post... BTW, as a novice CH I really miss my Webmaster, best pet I ever used...)

Granted, I'm not soloing 3 rancors at once, but I can still take a rancor with some help from a tanking pet and that to me seems to be more than sufficient (being able to take a red con seems to me to be plenty strong) Red con npc's go down far easier and don't even require a pet to kill except in the cases of things like night sisters and jedis and I dunno that a tka should really stand a chance against these things 1 on 1. I know some people have quoted books and whatnot about how powerful the tka master should be but if a tka can take out a jedi, then what point is there to having jedis available in the game? You have to make allowances to a class to make it more balanced and viable in a gaming atmosphere.
TK are not ment to take out Jedi and so far known never where.
The only story leading to the idea that TK are able to take out Jedi or where ment to do that i saw on a website but never could anybody name the sourcebooks or books or commics where that came from.
I dont think it will help our position either to keep saying we are there to fight Jedi or balanced them or whatever. We are just one of the many Martial Arts that excist. So far known we dont even need to be force sensitive to become a TK in the Expanded Universe.
Ofcource the challenge still stands if somebody can give me the book where its all mentioned ill swallow all my words *grins*
But till that time ill keep saying we are just guys and gals who can trow a few very hard kicks *smiles*
"Nobody here cares about how much EQ you've played or what you're claimed IQ is."
Apparently you care since you claimed that playing intelligently is the answer. My reply, I am a smarter, better player than you. And the nerf was still overdone. Questions?
WOW you can solo. Anyone can solo. I am sick of hearing you people saying look at me everything is fine we owning blah blah blah
It is not right when.
Our move that makes us able to tank so to speak has taken the worse hit in the games history
That all our moves seems to be up in ham cost
That we have to depend So heavly on medic skills just to work a class
That we have to use lunge to replace a ton of unarm xp move
That we are a burden to be grouped with
that i do more dmg to myself then i can do to a mob
that This is not fun. This is not the way a tank should work.
for you 80 percent that are bragging and saying things are not that bad. Try doing something without a med pack. Or buffs if a class should depend on medic skills THIS much then they force us to play a set path taking the tka. That is wrong.
