Lo'Pan.. Tell me, why should TKA be god? I've been TKA since release on one character.. they've ALWAYS BEEN GOD of the melees, since opening **edit**ing day. Don't act like they're gimped, they aren't. Just a lot more players are TKA than any of the other melee..


What does this mean?


You have a lot more avid whiners who bitch about every aspect of their class.

TKA should not be GOD....As for why I think we should be as they seem to trying to make us...READ do not skim through my above emarks and you will see why.,


As i stated before...I believe that these changes are simply a benchmark to "test" on us before emplamenting these changes to the other classes...I believe you guys WILL get some love soon..be patient.


I do think, however that if these changes in damage and speed are not given to the other classes then they should limit the number of people that become TKAs. Period.

Wow this is awesome. Im so happy about this maybe all those people that droped tka for commando will come crawling back.




I dropped commando for TK because clearly commando is just going to be nerfed repeatedly and the devs seem to only care about ubering up TK....

2. I know many of you sya "screw the books, screw the past games and other roleplying games that say TKA hunted bad Jedi and had some force power within...." Well guys I have to disagree with you on that and my reasoning is this.....If they dont make us more powerful as we should be then they are Re-defining what the Teras Kasi have always been...and that would be stupid to do because honestly it would be so contradictory to what we should be that it would make all the past books, games, stories and the like Obsolete and irrelevant which I dont think they want to do.



If the devs felt that way, they would cap the rebel population at a tenth of the imperial population instead of letting the rebels dominate the galaxy with much higher numbers. If you want to make (well,keepi guess since they alreadyare even before the tc stuff)the tka better than all of the other melee professions, you should just pention to have them deleted because nearly everyone is going to switch over to tka anyway

3. There has to be a balancing class between the raged guys and the melee guys...right now the commandos have been pretty much the flavor of the month and it is time for someone to step up...and given our role in the past. why shouldnt it be us?





Are you sure you know what you are asking for? EVERY fotm profession has been nerfed so if you guys become fotm (you already are sort of because the other melee professions are dropping their profession for tkm), you guys will almost certainly be nerfed.

by the way in Octobers TC Big Patch (the one that went in today) Teras Kasi is the only profession that got significant love (in all 34 professions) I havent checked through ALL of them, but none of them got as much of a boost, upgrade and fix as TK has so far. Swordsman Fencer and Pikeman are officially crap vs TK. And no I'm not exaggerating. They dont get Defense Acuity they have only one type of defensive mod, we have all of them (+195 of it at Master TK), we all have Center of Being but I believe TK has the highest CoB efficacy and duration. With last months fixes to Power Boost and the upgrade to damage it's safe to say TK vs any other melee = easy. (As if it werent entirely easy before, its even easier)








thats g o d d a m n e df u c k i n b u l l s h it and the exact reason im quitting on the 27th when my subscription is up. they have been doing nothing but giving and giving to TK and none of the other brawler classes. bull**edit**





I can see the frustration here, but honestly, melee's been the brunt end of the pool for a long long time and now we're finally seeing things turn around. The KD changes destroyed the TK's ability (something that's supposedly inherent to their profession), the "target out of range" is still in the game at times, the VK range was only workable if you were on flat ground (ever mountain-side fight?), the HAM costs for a while were insane if you had them on, the list goes on. All the ranged professions have KDs, bleeds, CMs have mind disease, everyone's a CH of some sort, yet we (any melee in the brawler tree) were left to do nothing. I didn't know of any ranged class that had specials that cost so much that they had to remove their weapon (yeah, I know, makes no sense) and the VK certification for TK only makes getting to TK novice (or just moving up the unarmed tree) REALLY a chore.


As for the 'giving and giving to TK', I don't see a bleed attack (which makes sense considering VKs, the only weapon we have, is a razor-bladed "brass knuckle", if you will) on my list, my head hit is at the top of Precision Striking, which is the Master level, whereas most other brawler professions are able to have direct pool hits IN the brawler tree (example, mind pool attack for 2H).


Note, this is not a flame against you at all. I see where you're coming from and definitely, I can feel your frustration. It's the same frustration when I found out I couldn't use my VKs when I was still in unarmed 2, when KDs were changed RIGHT when I had gotten UKD1, etc etc, and yet everyone around was a BH doing eyeshot like it's going out of style or sending in their cowardly gurracks, etc.

Buddha,


Actually, TKA = massive defense.


Lookat the linkfor the current numbers. Melee defense, ranged defense and toughness are really the most useful defenses right now.


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=pikeman&message.id=4712


People mostly seem to be complaining because the new changes on test center seem to have boosted TKA a lot while boosting all other melees less. A lot of people (myself included) hope this is just because the designer is trying to balance TKA against ranged before evening out the other classes, not because Teras Kasi should bebetter thanall other melee's as the original poster seems to believe.

But if you eat the cake you have, then you no longer have a cake because you ate it.

Well, you know how tkas don't like to share so i think it is logical to assume that the tka will eat the whole cake and then gloat about it.
