Im only Unarmed III, and want to grind afk, but I diddent know if armor in this sort of a situation would wind up being my death, because I wouldent regen health at any real speed? Im camping normal spawns, nothing more than 1K health. Still over time with almost no health regen it seems to follow that I would wind up incapping over time, and if I incap once itd happen all 3 times, leading to death and loss of xp.
Any thoughts? Im wearing comp with all 1's for subbs if that matters, I dont think anyone has higher with full comp lol

I went from novice brawler to tkm wearing good kinetic ubese. Almost the protection of comp with way lessencumbrance. Since I was also working on scout/ranger, I mainly fought critters and rarely faced attacks that weren't kinetic. I also rarely used buffs at the time. I should point out that I do have novice medic and generally had a double dose of brandy in me as well, so I was able to use a stim b when apropriate and my mind regenerated pretty quickly with all that brandy. I used vk's and spammed specials. Also, if you use vk's before you get certified, berzerk is a pretty crucial ability,although it does tend to drain the HAM. If you don't have novice medic, I would pick it up at least until you get a little more powerful, then drop it if your template doesn't have room for it. Whatever you end up doing, good luck.

How about you do it TEFd spamming that the opposing faction sucks. That should work well.
Why play a game you don't want to actually play?

just get a buff and some food and then pay for example, the tusken fort a visit. you'll climb the tka boxes faster than afk that way

Strap on a Meat Vest, Stand in Middle of Dath, go AFK.... Unjoy not playing the game in your sleep. Hope you learn to play the profession at Master before the other guy your dueling Rules you, becuase he spent the time at the keyboard learning what works and what does not while enjoying his grind to master.. lol
Take up a life as an AFK Dancer after you've failed at TKM hehe

I always recommend to people that want to grind melee AFK is that you should definitely leave your armor off. Buffs will not help so don't get them. Equipping your knucks is worthless because they'll just get ruined anyway. Skill tapes won't work for you very well so just wear normal (non BE) clothes. The best place to do the AFK grind that way is the Squill cave on Tat. Have fun and rack up those points!

I've never done this before but maybe it will work?
Migrate all of your stats into Health, Action and the secondary stats. If you want to use special attacks (spin attack) then put brandy in your toolbar (this is where I don't know if it works or not) and every 45min or so (whenever your brandy runs out) make it so that you hit that macro to take a shot of brandy. High kinetic ubese armor seems the way to go. Only wear the essential pieces (helmet, chestplate, boots and gloves). Don't use a vk if you're using specials, it will drain it greatly. I would test this out first though, I have not tried this. Only thing I would worry about is your mind running out.
If you won't be using specials, try migrating all your stats to health and action and the secondary stats for them. Put on a comp helmet to protect your mind and do it that way.

There are varying degrees of AFK play.... the most abhorent form is where you setup a totally AFK bot to do nothing but stand around killing whatever mobs spawn next to you......
The other kind is where you setup a few helpfull macros so you can do something like read the news while your character is spamming specials at something. When I grind unarmed, I typicall do this.... setup a spin attack macro, target a lair, hit the macro go read the news for 5 minutes, move onto next lair.

I love how whenever anyone asks about AFK macroes (especially Combat but I really love when the Enterainers and Sureyers do the same) and people just feel the need to argue their philosophy of enjoying the game and learning how to play a profession, etc. Macroing is in game, not an exploit and not agains CoC. If you don't like it, don't do it, but spare me your efforts to convinse me that I shouldn't do it too!
Back yo your question:
Use Ubese not Composite - find high kinetic ubese set.
Don't spam specials - whats your macro - post it here.
Now my question:
What do you guys AFK macro on? Is best you can survie NPCs in cities (Moenia, Tatoine, etc)?
I am Master Doc and TKA, I wan't to macro self buffing but don't know how to time that on 3 hour cycle. Any ideas? Thanks.

Grinding AFK is for people who either don't have the time to play (why do you play then..) or are too lazy to do something. Don't sit somewhere waiting while things spawn for you......or your going to end up dead. If you wear armor, ur gonna need stims to keep ur health up, then ur mind is gone, and your killed from mind incap. If you don't, you'll get killed from their tiny little noAP pistols. Just sit there for a few minuetes and grind...its not really that hard.
Oh, and if I see someone AFK killing spawns,I usually just take their kills. Theres no reason a BH should be in monia stealing all the kills when some noob marksmen needs them. Fight a rancor or something....
