THIS IS STAR WARS NOT REAL LIFE, GET IT INTO YOUR HEADS!!

I think in real life, most of us would either wet our pants or run when you face a martial arts expert, regardless of weapon/no weapon.

Oh, and to the sword being more powerful than bare hands, i would love to see you wield that think against a martial arts expert. It would probably be sent to Americas Funniest Videos

I hope all that damage reduction and avoidance helps against Combat Medic Mind Poison.

If we activate the active damage reduction, will it work against Bleed/Poison/Disease that is already on you?

I would love to see your martial arts expert go against an expert swordsman. it gets even worse for your martial artist if both people start to wear armor.

oh and nikolai: If you want tka to be to melee as bounty hunter is to ranged, then tkas need to require 2 master professions (brawler and entertainer maybe so you can entertain us while you tell tails about how you soloed 20 swordsman at once).

Nikolai you make good points about TKA in RP standpoint, but now let me make mine..

Cortosis, I believe is the spelling.. Was used to make MANY melee weapons in RP sense. Cortosis is impervious to a lightsaber. It doesnt bend or anything when struck by one, it absorbs the blow as though the lightsaber were mere metal. Where as TKA, your arm will get sliced off if he lands a hit..

So for TKA vs Jedi.. He lands a hit, you're missing a limb or dead.
But for Swordsman vs Jedi.. It comes down to who is the better swordsman until the Jedi uses his abilities.

In all reality, anyone can solo a Jedi =P we just need those goofy little sluggish things that made it impossible to use force powers around them strapped to our backs =P

TKA should NOT be the end all be all of melee compared to others in this game. You spend the same skill points as any other melee and come out much stronger.

easy

good boy )

common people were all in this together pikeman swordsman fencer tka... were all melees and should support each other.

lets end this flame-wars..

now for what i think.. currently in pvp senses were much better than other elite melees( our hit rate and dps factor also kds). in pve, were again better but if the ham costs of special moves on other elite melees were decreased, id say we would be equal because you guys can pierce medium and bleed which makes you much better vs big targets.

As for the changes, they look great, other elite melees get pretty high bonuses on their dodge etc. as well, lets see how this goes after the patch...

It doesnt reign without Master Brawler anyways. And in another light a Swordsman or other melee + Master Brawler has a larger chance vs a sole TKM. So it balances itself out.

Okay so a guy who invest in MASTER Brawler and MASTER Swordsman has a chance against a guy who just invest in MASTER TKA... That balances itself out? Sorry, no.. A guy who spends extra shouldnt barely balance out.. That's total bull**edit**.

I've mastered every melee class but Swordsman (And am currently working on that) and not one has ever came close to TKAs. Even when TKAs were nerfed to all hell - they were still the strongest melee.

Assuming jedis do around 8k damage (heh)

8,000 * 0.43(toughness) *0.16(armor) = 550 damage

If you add in intimidate2 it goes down to around 220 i believe so a buffed tka should be able to tank those with a little healing as long as he doesn't get constantly hit in the mind.

"Your only arguement is "Well TKAs can beat Jedi they are so uber! Didnt you read that crappy EU book based off a crappy videogame that takes place between Ep 5 and Ep 6?!" "

Can anyone recall where I said this? I can't seem to figure it out....Because I didn't. Don't you **edit** come to our board and false quote me because you can't read correctly what I say (Not addressing TK guys here, trolls from other boards)

Is it too much to ask for you to just shut up and get off this thread already? I am trying to provide a little focus for the new changes from TC for the TK Community. If you want to flame me or ANYTHING by all means PM me, make a new thread, I don't care what you do but you automatically lose your credibility by doing it in this thread. And you are offending all the other TK whom are trying to use this thread constructively and get USEFUL information from it. The more I think about how much you're depriving everyone of useful info by bringing this bull**edit** into the thread the angrier I'm getting. So please just go away, no one cares, really.

Uh Nikolai please read my sig. =) I'm a TKM on two servers. That quote was also meant to mock you.. Not be exact quoting.. Since you constantly refer to EU stuff about TKA. =) "They were trained to not rely on Jedi" etc etc.. "So they can beat Jedi" ..etc etc.. You also came to Swordsman forums, which you don't deny, to cause trouble. So this is karma. I'm not screaming "NERF TKA" either. I'm just saying make other melees up to par with TKA, we should all be equal and dominate in certain circumstances.

TKAs get no bleeds, sure.. But you can target any specific pool. That's your trade off.

TKAs don't get medium armor piercing, true.. But you get arguably the best defenses in the game. And also the most useful skill in the game. (Meditate and it's little helpers)

Do any of you have any respect? You trolls come into the TK Community forums and start all these debates in this thread. Make your own **edit**ing thread im getting fed up now. I sat there and did all this 'research' on TC for the Teras Kasi Community and I created this thread to provide a discussion for this months upcoming changes. And you **edit** come here into this thread and start debates that no one really cares to hear. Start your own thread, if it takes off and contains all the whining, more power to you. But please leave it out of this one.

I've been very cordial with all of you in regards to this, but frankly im fed up now.

First off i'd like to point out how awesome our disagreements are. If you were to get any other threads *cough bouty hunters *cough you would see how immature the majority of the posters are. On the 2nd page of this thread alone i saw alteast half a dozen people realizing other's points and submitting a retort. You guys are great.

Secondly, If a master martial artist, and a master swordsman went head to head. The fight would be boring. Both would stand still waiting for the other to move, leaving himself open for a counter attack. It would be more of a fight of who can stand still the longest. We aren't talking movies here, in reality both can kill in one move. The sword is easy to kill with, while it only takes 6 pounds of pressure to break a bone, which i can do with my little toe.

3rd, the up coming skills sound great. At this point i'll take anything i can get from the devs. But it's all for not, if we are still "out of range" while we run close enough to lick their earlobes. As this is the tka forums, i won't comment on the other brawlers. But as a tka point of view, the moves sound great. If they work.
