Thread: Best proffession to go with TKA master?
I have been reading teh post by teh correspondent about how some if not most of the defense bonuses do not stack between melee classes. This interrupts my orginal intention to go Fencer/ TKA master. What is the best alternative proffession for someone who wants to do a lot of PvP?
master brawler with intimidation2, warcry2, lunge2 is a worthy choice

I am pistoleer/tka/smuggler pistol line with medic. Makes life nice becasue you can do alot of damage reguardless of ranged or melee combat. If your enemy has two legs they are even more screwed because i can make em fall before i go melee. The defense stacking is nice too.

Ranged and melee defense stack.
The only mods that dont stack are ones like "Unarmed Melee Toughness" and "Two-Handed Melee Toughness". If it has One-Handed/Polearm/Unarmed/Two-handed in front of the skill (i.e. CoB) then it doesn't stack. All the other generic mods (counterattack, dodge, block, ranged defense, melee defense) all stack.

All the other generic mods (counterattack, dodge, block, ranged defense, melee defense) all stack.
Actually, this may not be true... the pistoleer correspondant did some testing with dodge and found that the pistoleer dodge mods only work with a pistol equipped, so one can only assume they won't stack with other weapon mods either. Here's the link to his test

I counterattack just as much with no weapon/VK's equipped than I do with a 2handed sword equipped, which is where all my counterattack mods come from.
I was just drawing from my own experiences with the only evasion "move" i have.
I dunno. /shrug
Here is an interesting combination which probably no one ever has thought of.
I am a TK and a Chef. Ican make all my own buffs. It's a great combination. I get to enjoy both sides of the street as both a good combat artist as well as crafting in an interesting profession which not only helps me, but many others as well.

Its great to use /panicshot; /lowblow then come in with the knucks for the kill
