With the nerf to Knockdown i cant see how any TKA is gonna be able stand up to higher lvl mobs? it will be impossible... Why they hell they dont give us some defense so we dont go down so fast and acually TANK something?? Do the devs acually play they game??

god i still don't understand y we are called a tank class we die in like 4 hits and monsters always go after the weakest enemy lol. i say let a pistoleer tank they can do it better heh

According to a post from someone who's on test center (sorry can't remember the name) the increased costs won't be THAT bad for us, especially if we continue to unequip our VKs before using KD. It might make it tougher to spam KD 10 times in a row, but that's probably for the best anyway.

I dont give a **edit** about KD.. The only reason i use it is because I CANT TANK.. TKA and other melee professions neeed to be able to stand up to mobs.. Evades, resists, whatever..right now the high lvl TKA ispointless.

A. We're not tanks.
B. We were never meant to tank.
C. We shouldn't be able to stand up to higher level mobs unless we're at a higher level. If it cons red, there's a reason for it. It will kill us in few hits.
d. This isn't friggin DAoC, AC, or any other friggin MMORPG. The rules that applied to those games don't apply here.

I agree that defense should perhaps be higher, but we were never meant to tank. I suppose it's a difference of opinion. We're all still regular people in the game, we just have different skills. I personally think we should dodge/counterattack more than be able to take more damage. Just because we're a melee class doesn't mean our bodies can take more damage than others.

Wookinpanub, I think you are misinterpretting what people are saying, not by any fault of your own mind you.

What most TKs mean when they say Tank is the ability to stand toe to toe with a mob and melee the thing.

If a TK can do this by dodging and weaving from a mobs attacks, not neceassirly by being able to absorb copious amounts of direct damage, then they consider that tanking

The true meaning of a tank is non existent in SWG so the wordis used a bit loosely in the context of SWG.

can we have something like a "force punch" to knock creatures BACK? to give is time to heal ourselves? at master lvl we can knock whole MOBs back?

i dunno....a melee fighter class that cant melee is a bit stoopid

So in order for us to BE ABLE to attack we need to stand right in front of the mob. I dont know what game you are playing but when i grp the range attackers dont take damage. WE are the ones getting hit not them. To **edit***ING top it off our HAM costs are insane compared torangeprofessions.AND NO if that isnt enought we do less damage. I am hitting for 200 range now with no specials (since we are not suppose to spam them they say). I cant go toe to toe with white con mobs without HUGE downtime after the fight.

a knock back would be a death sentence for anything that can range us

I don't know about you guys but I'm a TKA and I'm a better tank than most creatures

but I do agree that ranged and melee defense needs to work better.

I disagree with the common concept that TKAs should be given higher defense. Rather, I think that insteald of reducing the amount of damage we are hit for, they should reduce the amount of times we are hit. TKAs should be given a much higher ability to block/dodge incoming attacks. Just my 2 creds
