I'm a triple master, Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer, Master TKA.
I am down in seconds in PVP.
I've got great armor, get good buffs (health, action and mind).
But I'm no match for the CM/Riflemen atm.

Well phoenix...
Right now Pistols is sorta broken, but with the speed you get from pistoleer and skills from smuggler, those are a nice addition for TKM
Even if you do get mind poisoned / diseased and then blasted in the head by CM / Riflemen, can they slice terminals to take down basesin raids?
Can they Powerboost and then tank against giant PvE critters?
can they specifically target each pool for direct damage to compliment with any other fighting (brawler / marksman Direct Damage class)?
Can they slice weapons and make a good bit o' money off of it? (and also save yourself the expenses of finding / paying a smuggler for that?)
Can they kite AND tank things? (adding your ranged Pistol abilities with your melee TKM abilities)
the big thing about CM / Rifles... they don't haveMUCH (they still have some, but littleenough to fail quite a bit)defense VS posture-change or KD or dizzy or intimidate or any of that fun stuff...

antares_Kauriyour statement of TK's doing the Highest DPS is off by a bit. I don't know if you have ever done upperlevel pve. IE the geocave or Corvette, but TK alone (no stacked profession) is worthless there. Because your not taking into account AP and its bonuses when doing DPS calcs. TK against anything with med armor, you might as well be tickling them.

This thread is about pvp, and no one has medium armor composite. I have made other posts in the past about pve dps, and even all the way up to medium armor, TKA holds its own right there with pikeman/swordsman due to speed and accuracy. In terms of max pve damage, TKA isn't the best, but for raw pve dps, TKA holds its own fine. There are always situations and mobs where not every profession can do a lot. Swordsmen have fewer situations like that, but most professions do.
