Hi i've just returned to SWG after a year or so away and i've noticed a lot has changed and need some help.


Currently im TKM/MD.


I've grasped MD now but im struggling with TKM, am i right in thinking we don't need armour as we are now natural tanks with our dodging abilities ?


The main thing im struggling with atm is im doing really poor damage, mind you im not using and knucklers or such, so could anyone give me some advice on what knucklers i should look for with what slicing done to them etc and how much would i be looking to pay.


The only other thing is enhanced clothing, can we wear it without any penalties ? If so what recommendations have you got ?


Thanks for any help thats given and my god its great to be back.

Yes, TK's now have 'Innate Armour' which means you dont have to wear crafted armour


TK really does have poor damage on its own now, you wil want to do the 'Rryatt Trials' Quest on Kashyyyk to get yourself a katarn knuckler, and then get it sliced by a smuggler (something else that has changed drastically), and this should get your damage up - HOWEVER


TK on its own now only has 2 moves at master, Combo and Dizzy, these do very low damage, and if you actually want to hurt stuff using TK, you will probably need either swordsman or pikeman aswell to get their special moves, which means dropping some of your doc


If youve got alot of freinds who you group with that do dmg, TKM/Doc is fine, and a nice group template.


In general your going to have a hard time killing anything on your own.


As for BE Clothing, yes we can wear it, apart from belts such as the mabari belt (or as I found today, bh armour belt)

I personally Use Melee/Ranged Def mods and Healing mods in my be clothing, but it really comes down to your template, as a master doc, Id use the same as me.

little to non, the best thing about the above knuckler I mentioned is the sac cost (75), and you can crank up the dps more than any other knuckler, although this isnt much of a benefit.


With the combat upgrade however, you can use combat moves from other proffesions with whatever weapon you like, this means you can use improved critical strike and improved head hit from swordsman, combined with advanced armour break, and hit for around 1100 dmg with your Knuckler

I am TKM/MD with a little fencer thrown in and love it.


I have no trouble soloing lvl 82's. Can tank 3 at a time and do just fine. Of course it takes a little longer then before and is more fun to hunt in a group. TKM/MD is great in a group cause we don't have any trouble holding aggro with the hate we pull healing and with taunt.


Make a COB macro and a healing Macro


Wear a PSG


Use spice,foods,drinks, PB and your doc buffs


set melee hit as your auto attack(control + click)


Use AB, apply states, KD, melee strike


In case nobody mentioned it, FOW is broke


Get the Katarn Knucklers(wookiee world quest) Slice for dmg, slap an ADK on it.


Make sure you have all your armor off so you don't break your innate.
