Teras Kasi Archive

i heard from a guild member that tka is going to be nerfed. is this true?

wouldn't be surprised.

Whether or not this is true, I cannot confirm. However, don't always be offended by a nerf. 60% of the time they are extremely beneficial, in my opinion. Take for example the coming CH nerf - It eliminates dabblers. If you think that eliminating dabblers from a profession is not beneficial, there is something wrong with you!

For all we know it could be assmall as changing the timer on waiting for another attack. But, it could be as serious as knocking off a couple points from our overall damage... not many of us would like that.

I'd say just don't read too far into it -- enjoy what you've got.

Not wanting to be flamed here....but I thought they designed this game to be skill based and not level based exactly for people to be able to customize their character. I realize that most seem to fall into the BH/CH or Commando/CH or anything/CH catagory, but IMHO (please don't flame) as long as master has something really good in it, why not let people dabble?

The dev's just helped us out. It would seem kind of stupid to nerf us in next patch when the last patch just benefited us. People always spread stupid rumors about nerfs ( Bounty Hunter eye shot ) for example was supposed to b nerfed 2 months ago and still hasnt been. so in final, dont believe anything until it actually happens one morning.

"live in the moment young padawan"

I completely understand you Mark, but I feel the problem that the devs see is that people can master one profession, be extremely proficient, and then dabble in another and still be utterly proficient in that class. For example, there were a few bounty hunters out there who were ridiculously proficient with CH, and thus it had to be nerfed because, as we all know, BH can seriously rip a lot of us into many pieces.

The problem with CH is that a person could take only two lines in it (4/4/0/0) and have all the combat effectiveness of a Master CH. I don't think the devs want to elliminate dabblers, they just needed to balance out the CH tree so that it wasn't so lopsided to where all the beneficial things come from just 2 branches.

LOL, BH's can rip you to pieces? I don't know where you,ve been but TK/Smuggler/Pistoleer is the PvP template sir.

No we are not getting nerfed.

And the new CH nerf is actually a good one.

There is something wrong with me. I have never been able to understand the recent animus towards dabblers.

Coincidentally, I had to reinstall SWG today and during the install process it introduces the six starting professions and then concludes with "...or be all six at once". The skill point system in this game is one of its only innovative features. I've changed professions a number of times.
