Hi I'm currently 2142 TK and loving it.

I keep hearing from the riflemen (they do like to point out other professions don't work)I play with, thatTK's kinetic damage isno good for PvP with armour at 80% or so. But with intimidate,stun accuracy food and SEA's etc I'd like to ask how you guys manage in the PvP arena these days. I'm also a Master Pistoleer (no jokes please I've heard them all) andI'm working my way up dirty fighting tree of Smuggler too, so I do have aranged alternative and a few more defences in my template.

I know tactics change depend on the opponent but generally, how does TK fair these days?

I heard yesterday how fencer scatterhit2 doesnt go straight through defences anymore so this must be better news to us guys? Also do TKM's whoPvPalways use acentre macro like fencers have?

Sorry for this vague post but I'd like to hear some current thoughts rather than trawl through all the stickies to read old posts, that may or may notbe relevant withall the changes in the game.

I do pretty good In PvP,but dont need food.I chased a master rifleman doc around with my VK's,doing head hits that were doing 70 damage(85% armor),and took him out after about 15 minutes of being kited,but not succesfully kited.I beat fencers all the time,who used to be TKM's worst enemy in melee PvP.The only ones i have problems beating are :insert good profession here: doctors.They heal intimidate and stun...and dizzy,blergh.Anyways when I PvP on a raid ,I ditch the PSG,I always have full buffs(mind,mind 2nds,doc buffs),powerboost before the "charge",but i dont take my burnout sauce...wierd cause its sitting in my inventory.We may not do alot of damage,but you need to know how to PvP.Be taught,your UH3 will not keep you alive against a harder opponent.

Eosa Eelo: NOOB EXTRAORDINARE!!!

From what I've been reading so far today

1. Don't rely on big specials, with KD defences on most templates a dizzy lunge will work better

2. Keep throwing states on doc templates so they keep draining mind and combat queue while they're healing intimidate/dizzy/stun/blind while youstick in a fewhead hits.

3.Use unarmed combo1 on players only wearing comp helmet chest boots and pants, it'll do more damage than combo2 to the health bar

4. Be prepared -buffs, armour, foods take a ranged opponent onto your territory if possible,work in groups etc etc

5.I'm assuming a centre macro is a must-have item, though fencers always told me TK centre wasn't as good as theirs

any more thoughts please let me know

you sound like your going to need the guide in my sig Leave comments I want feed back but it covers most questions regardingtka/smuggler/pistoleer in pvp. I take on rifleman all the time, sometimes I win sometimes I lose but I always put up a good fight. Triple master is one of the best templates out there in my opinion and probably the most fun in PvP as your not jsut spamming the same special over and over again. I did rifleman I was ubar l337 but it was so god damn boring.

Great guide you posted, I should be able touse most of these tactics apart from a few moves I haven't grinded yet. You did answer my question about the centre macro so thanks for that as well. Will my centre disappear when I equip my pistols, I'm assuming it will, or if it doesn't, it won't do me any good while I'm ranged?

I'm just dreading spending hours on macros and toolbars but it has to be done
