TKM is supposed to do crappy damage, its a tnk, last i heard, the definition of a tank is a person who keeps the target off the group, but dosent do enough damage to actually kill the target, so the group can get XP. But also can do enough damage to be of help in a large scale group hunt, where survival is more important than XP.

Can i get a QFE?

I know what a tank is son.... what im asking is, does anyone actually use TKA for dmg? seeing as how you can transfer over almost all of the bonuses given to a tka to tank to a prof that can also lay out some dmg.... it seems kinda pointless???

where on earth does it say TKM is supposed to do crappy damage?

TKM is suposed to do above average damage, TKM is supposed to be crappy at crowd control, TKM is supposed to be an amazing tank..

sadly we're far from what we're supposed to be

I'll give that a QFE!

We aren't near what they say we are, we really arent that good of tanks and our damage is absolutly pathetic. I find it funny when people with Jedi icons say we do great damage....

Post CU I grabbed a hammer and it hasn't left my hand for serious combat since. I use my TKM only skills when I want to slap around a few low level NPCs for grins. I still enjoy beating up randomMountain Squill on Tat, but since they are now level 22 and I am level 80, that doesn't even count as combat.

TKMreally got screwed in the CU. It wouldn't take too much to fix it though. Level 54 crafted VKs that hit for 275-300 DPS would do it. Maybe a taunt that worked better too...

I just got my Katarn Knucks last night, ADKed and unsliced doing 750 dmg with Melee hit on auto attack. Anyhere from 800-1200 using TK and Swordsman specials. Advanced combo is still misreporting dmg number but the enemy health bar goes down by what looks like the same amount using Head Hit.

Mostly I use Power Attack (I forget if that is TK or Swords now)...

Until I hit Master Swords (two more boxes) and can use a Hammer that does over 1000 dmg and or find a kick ass sword...my KK or barehanded seems the best dmg and fastest so far.
