Thread: Meditate or Power Techniques?
I'm in a dilemma. Right now my TKA is 1 1 2 2. What I'm wondering is if I should continue to go up in equal (2 2 2 2, 3 3 3 3, etc.), go up meditate (4 1 2 x) or go up power techniques (1 1 4 x). The x meaning that it's combat xp based so i'll go up it as i get it.
Logically it seems like meditate would be a great branch to go all the way up first, since I can then heal my own wounds and reduce the amount of trips I have to make back to a healer. But then again, Power Techniques give me more strength and speed which means I can take out bigger things. To me Balance would be the last branch to go up, while it does offer some good skills.
What do you guys think?
i did the following,
0/0/1/0
0/1/1/1
0/1/3/2 Im debating whether to go power 4 or take balance for the extra unarmed toughness. Might comi in handy
so it would follow as
0/2/3/2
0/2/4/
4/2/4/
4/4/4 (last tree as i get the xp).
0/0/4/0 First
2/1/4/2 should be next.. combat exp might not add up for you because i did master brawler.
3/2/4/3
4/4/4/4 Thats how i did my TKA
But get power tech first, then get some doc buffs and go kill pikets over and over 3200-5000exp
Yeah, how i'm going to do it
1 1 3 2 right now
1 1 4 x
2 2 4 x
4 2 4 x
4 4 4 4
I went 0/1/1/x first for my dizzy+kd, and then went all the way up meditation since I solo most of the time and wound healing is great for that. If I had it to do over again, I'd go to 2/1/1/x for powerboost and then finish the power tree before anything else. Grinding out over 1 million unarmed xp with power 1 sucked, and now that I'm 4/1/3/x I'm finding that things are going much quicker.
Get powerboost for sure though.
I took the traditional 1-1-1-1- 2-2-2-2 3-3-3-3 and 4-4-4-4... It worked great because i got the defence, med and dmg all at once... Balance is very good because the pikets hardly punish you when you get to 2 and 3 ![]()
In my opinion you don't have to do your profession as fast as possible... Enjoy, TKA is great!
I took a different road, I guess.
Started 0/0/0/2 (after MBrawler).
Went straight to 2/0/0/3 for powerboost. It's just SO useful. I didn't bother with Dizzy/KD because I had Warcry2/UnarmedLunge2 and I wasn't fightning many NPCs anyway.
Then went 2/0/2/3 for a small boost in Power.
Then 4/0/2/3, for wound healing. At this point I don't think I returned to town until I had mastered TKA =p.
Then 4/0/4/4 for a little more power, then went straight up the balance tree.
The one thing I really dislike aboutleveling combat classesevenly is having 4 450k exp boxes left at the end. Makes it feel as if it takes an eternity to accomplish anything =p.
