Has anybody seen any uber loots for TKA.
OR and loots at all for our stats?
There are AA and CA thiings for 2h, fencer and pikeman.
Why do we not receive the same things or I have never seen them personally. I might be wrong about this one though.
For example, a person looted a curved sword with near a 1000 damage, it wasn't even exceptional. It had no title as a speial curved sword, but it also had a 1500 fire dot.
And another thing, we are not balanced compared to the other professions. When they have uber loots, CAs, AAs, and then uber craftable weapons such as an acklay stun baton, they nearly out damage us everytime.
Sorry if this sounds like whining, but I'm just looking for an answer or something.
Oh and all spelling mistakes are on pupose.

Lots of people won't believe it, but one of the weakness of TKA is his damage output.
It is by design.
And for the uber loot, well, go hunt the pirate on Lok, they're the only mob I've heard about dropping VK.
That's why good DoT VK are impossible ot find, people don't really hunt those pirates like other mobs, because most of their loots are, hum, well, low.

Axvka and Nym's elite guard/Driodeka's drop components (+20 max damage, +5 wound or -0.2 speed for Nym's)
unarmed SEA's do drop, but you'll need at least +15 to consider waisting a slot on them (as acc and dam are already high in comparison)
But.....TK isn't about damage for me...it's about flexibility 
(applying all states, lung/KD,.....)
(applying all states, lung/KD,.....)Still a 190max damage (sliced) isn't hard to find...just go on a shopping spree with your friendly neighbourhood smuggler...

the mutated rancor cave on dathomir (nightsister stronghold mission cave) has some TK clothing attachments in it randomly. last night i picked up a +6 unarmed accuracy to push me from +205 to +211, giving me a 21 unarmed accuracy, not sure how well that did, but adding that extra point has to do something

TKs get AAs and CAs. I have a belt with a +6 unarmed accuracy AA and a +6 unarmed damage AA. Also speed AAs/CAs exist but they're generally worthless as all TKMs hit the speed cap anyways.
Yeah our damage isn't great. We get cool powerboost and meditate abilities, as well as some neat defenses, and we can land many states on people. Also, we alone among the melee classes can target any specific pool we want (though none of our pool-specific attacks are all that powerful). Our biggest problem with damage is probably the fact that we only do kinetic.
Also, here's one thing not people realize... A TKM has amazing accuracy. We practically never miss. A TKM has +205 accuracy. A master fencer has +170, a master pikeman has +150, and a master swordsman only has +130. Also note that VKs are also very accurate weapons, while other melee weapons are usually lower or even have negative to accuracy (see pikes for example). Combine the fact that we rarely miss with the fact that we're the only melee profession that reaches the speed cap through skills alone, and you see that our low base damage output is offset somewhat.

I never said, or even though that our damage output was a problem.
I'm just saying that compared to other melee (I don't know ranged very well), we have low damage output.
I don't have a problem with that.
It's just one of our weakness.
All the other profession have theirs, this is one of ours.

Those pirates/Canyon Corsairs etc on Lok are the only ones that I have ever looted any vk's off recently, however on my old server I have looted a DoT vk off of a BH mark. That was way back when I was grinding BH the hard way back before mounts and bikes etc. I have heard of a couple others that looted em off marks in the past, but nothing recent. That may have changed as there are so many more people grinding investigation that you would think we would have heard something about them being looted in that fashion.
