People are talking about how BHs have replaced TKAs as tanks because of such high damage and such... I heard that a TKA can hit for up to like 3500 in PVM.... So how would a BH beat that? And plus i heard at master the attacks are EXTREMELY fast... So are they venting, or does BH truly do more damage? (longrun and/or per hit). Also do master TKAs have decent defenses? my friend told me he was doing level 25-50 imp missions on lok by himself with heals between..

Well thanks for the info in davance.

i think we do more damage but the costs are horrible

The comandos do more damage, but its a lot slower. They may hit for 3 or 4k but it takes them 4 seconds to hit again (plus the miss alot). At master TKA I hit for around 500 with no specials and hit around 2300 on UH3. I can take an enormous amount of damage, but thats mostly because im also a master brawler with 56% composite. With intimidate2 I can solo almost every mob in the game.

we tank cause of intimidate, we have good toughness, but that only counts for melee. We are an unarmed tank, and for the most part its unwise to wear armor, but most people wear it and rightly so, because its so **edit** good.

so if your wearing armor then the class's that dont use alot of ham benifit the msot from it, thats deffintly not the TK.

i can solo 3 commoners 2 raiders a sniper and a chief - tuskans

is this a valid tank?

you tell me

better yet what would you consider are proven mobs that we SHOULD be able to tank against??

tusken chiefs hit me hard as hell even with melee, with intimidate i could tank, but straight out right tanking probably not. if its shooting with range weapons tuskens hit HARD

Highest I've ever hit for in PVE was 5000, against a Tusken King, i rocked his world

A valid tank in My opinion? Id say something with 10k ham.. a grauul mauler (not solo, tank) while your friends help with the damage...

and what can you solo?

and at master, with 150dmg vibros, what dmg do you do in a normal hit?

Without VK?

and I heard you can attack 3 times per second or something with good VKs. is this true?

For sheer dmg output, TK is King imhoIF we decide to chain specials burning up our HAM in the process. As a Commando, using Flamesingle2 I can put a burn on a mob for say 7k ideally then fire DOT for a few ticks after that. Sounds impressive sure, but a TK Master in the same span of time as the Commandoif put into overdrive and chaining UH3 can do more dmg. I have yet to see any combat class do more dmg numberwise in a span of 15 seconds than a TKM balls-out who isn't concerned with HAM (although I could be mistaken... if so, enlighten me).

i use food buffs to bring the cost to do specials with a VK down so i can dish out probly 18k to 20k damage in 10 to 15 sec depending on armor rating and the resistances to kinetic damage of course.

i use breath of heaven and ryshcate bread to get my str quick and focus up to about 1600 and thats when i stop using HAM when i do specials.

my friends that are commando's run rebel missions with me and flame single stormtroopers for 18k dmg in 1 hit. in 15 seconds i MIGHT be able to that, considering i'd have to use VK and heal once or time as my HAM drains....i've seen TKM/master brawler/medic solo graul mauler....no need to tank them

That's because of the melee weapon dmg multiplier bug thingie for Commandos (to my knowledge anyways)... I've done similar dmg outputs and it's clearly a bug (along the lines of theRifleman 2.5dmg multiplier, although that is intended).

Yes I kn ow enough about the 2 professions to know that 18k damage is a bug or exploit, being that the most powerful weap is a rocket launcher (on radiant) and does only 3k on a normal hit... flamethrower with special wouldnt reach 18k without some variation of a bug.
