Ok... during respec i figured i'd make some money since i all ready know my finished template... so i respec'd to tkm and rangerxx4x for the harvesting... got too close to some rebel turrets and pulled a looted laser carbine from my pack to pull from the lair without getting hit by the turrets...

420damage with no marksman skills whatsoever... with the carbine 804max, 257dps...

411 damage with melee strike...

WTH???

So I decide to see just how much damage i can do... TKM, MScout, Rangerxx4x, Medic4141... cl63... all sp used... running around like a ranged proff does, i was able to take down a lvl 65 tusk cat in just a little bit longer than if I would have just used melee... yes, my melee and ranged def dropped significantly and had to heal more, but dang...

WTH???

So now my beloved TK moves have been reduced to the amount of damage as someone with no skills with a gun/rifle? Very sad state of affairs I think... very sad...

i know i'm not the only one to see the lack of sense in our damage output or lack of special moves...

as a note though... it is nice to know that i can start shopping some nicer ranged weapons for whenever i get rooted, lol... but still doesnt make up for the disappointment my tk has become

Yep, am TKM/MRanger, and I carry Nym's slug thrower around with me. When I solo lairs, it is not good to be standing in the middle of the lair when the next 4 or so spawn. I use the carbine to 'tap' the lair and do impressive damage, with abosoulty now ranged skills what so ever.

Yeah, the carb has a higher max damage than unarmed so you hit for 420, however, your speed will suck, and your defenses and accuracy plummet, so why you would want to actually use that carbine for anything other than tapping a lair is beyond me...

Hey why not TKA and pistol XXX1 or 3. Root them next to you, put awaythe pistol,then issue a beat down.

That would be useful against a ranged opponent, but a snare works almost as well, and doesn't require dumping skills into a ranged profession to get it.

I use a carbine on hunts, not only to pull, but also when teaming up with another ranged profession and rooting stuff, then shooting it dead from range together.

I use whatever weapons I have on me when I max unarmed combat xp.

I carry a DL44 XT?, Advanced Laser Riffle and NS Vibro Lance.

I used them to shoot once or twice/or swing at the critter, and revert to unarmed or vk and finish them off. This way I am able to collect more xps when i visit the village for conversion.
