Orphan is right.


At the moment, we have the choices of kinetic with no armor piercing (fists) or kinetic with light armor piercing (VKs) as damage types. There was rumbling at one time of some quest heat damage VKs, but I don't think they made it in the game yet (other than some reports of people looting the components when they weren't supposed to be able to).


Ourone damage type seriously limits Teras Kasi. Many higher level mobs have heavy armor with high kinetic resists and thus are virtually immune to our pounding them.


A reliable bleed would be a welcome addition as well. Sure, I can sometimes make mobs bleed with unarmed hit 3 but I would like to be able to do it consistently rather than it being the random result of a powerful attack.

Hey, since I made a Star Wars Quake III mod 5 years ago, does that make me an SOE dev??

Well, we can get mind fire VKs. Of course, ALF has a better shot at the White House than of you ever looting one. Black Sun razor knuckles were in beta, and were supposed to be introduced months ago, but never made it in game. They did heat damage. We are the only class restricted to one damage type.

The Blacksun Knucklers were not actually in BETA, they were added to TC a few patches ago and pulled due to being "overpowered." They are slated to be reintroduced with/after the Combat Balance and they do Heat Damage. (The info on them is also in the Useful Info Sticky above that says "Look Here First")

No longer holding out hope, SWG will never be the game we fought so hard for, that we believed so much in. Farewell friends.

I'm a newcomer to TKA, but I was just wondering, aside from razer knucklers, have there been any other proposed additions to the TKA damage-type "family" (more like orphan :/)?

I'm one that thinks that, with the number of various damage types in the game, it isn't too much to ask for every profession to have at least 3 damage types to choose from.

I looted a pair of those Black Sun Mind Fire Knucklers... hehehehe...


min damage was around 12, max around 125, DOT was weak as heck too. Better off using bareknucklers IMHO.



There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear, but rather I instil it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me, I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life, in the death of the light.
