Hello all. I just had to say I have enjoyed TKA far more than any other class I have played. It truly has made the game fun. I have been playing pretty much since release and had my template set up right from the begining. I was going to be a sniper. I did it, ( master ranger, master rifleman) pretty early on and was content. Then the holos came out....


Master smuggler was the first one I got. Damnit, i didn't want to do the unarmed tree. Everyone I talked to said it was a pain. So I put my nose to the grindstone and got to work. Took me a few days to get my req's for smuggler. Breezed through that with a pet and a good gun within two days heh. Not very fun at all.


I got a wild hair one day and decided to try and get novice tka while I was doing mission for the hell of it. Kill off the mobs, unarmed the defiler lairs. Took me a while, but I got through it. Man, was I ever shocked how cool tka was. I completly redid my plan just so I could master tka. No holo told me to do it, I just did.


I hit master tka tonight after about 2 weeks. I must say, it has been an utter blast. I have to plan out my attack, keep an eye on my health and stuff while still doing massive crowd control. Nothing in this game had offered me a challenge like tka (without a pet, dropped all ch).


I have decided to continue on my path as a pure melee. My second holo told me to master fencer, most of my guild felt sorry for me. I laughed in joy. Another melee prof has sealed my fate. Never again will I pick up another pistol/carbine/rifle. I have gone to fight the battles in the front, and I am never looking back.


A proud TKA

I too am getting a kick ( lol ) out of TKA. Though no Hoo told me to do this. One of my PA friends is doing one sword trees. He has a sword that looks like it came from Conan. Almost makes me want to try that profession too.

feel the same way. Started a new character. Got TKM. Now actually enjoying TKM and the holo grind because you can keep TK for any holo with exception of BH and I think CM.



Enjoy

Hehe, I did the same exact thing Junpai. Dropping CH and picking up TK was the best thing I ever did in the game. Hiding behind meatshields was getting boring and felt too much like grinding. The game is a blast now and I'm glad you've seen the light too

TKA has come a long, long since I started into it. I only hope with this class nearly 'fixed' they start with work on other classes as well.


Just remember... The force is stronger is giant sand beetles than it is wil Teras Kasi Masters... lol. Darn armored mobs...

I have also seen the light. I mastered enough professions to get my holos silent, and then i mastered all the novice profs. Now i want something new. I remembered how unarmed was awesome when i was doing brawler because i was using my BH fire knockdown to pwn it up. I still do, and im going tka master cuz it truly does punch the ass.

TKA is an awesome soloing class, however, we REALLY tear it up in groups. If you find yourself soloing most of the time give the group dynamic a try. It's ten times more fun.

yep ALL the melee classes are a blast. I recently gave up all my marksman skills to go pikeman, but my lva misses WAY too much, so I'm going Teras Kasi, i just made novice friday and i got my knockdown about 10 minutes ago. Things that would KILL me when i was 0/0/2/0 pistoleer i could solo at teras kasi novice. quote the mcdonalds commercials: I'm lovin it!

As an ex-Master Bounty Hunter I am having the best time I've ever had in this game. Once I got novice TKA yesterday I realized just exactly how weak ranged classes are in PvE. No Holo told me to do this I just got bored with my Bounty Hunting and got tired of getting beat down with the nerf bat. Teras Kasi is so much fun though. I don't think I'll give this up once I get master.

I agree. I've been LOVING TKA. I've been a master doc for a long while and I've been dissatisfied with my role in combat. I'd basically stand back and plink with a pistol, running in now and again to heal the folks. It felt like I was just a placeholder character, something you pull out of your datapad for a quick buff between combats. So I thought I'd give TKA a try.

Grinding through unarmed 4 was rough...VK on, bezerking (did 200 with bezerk versus about 80 without) on anything that moved, master doc buffs in place. Once I hit novice TKA though, WOW! I went from 200 with bezerk to 900-1100 with my unarmed hit 2.

Yesterday I went total crack baby and went from 0011 to 2112 on Dantooine with a friend. Thankfully Pickets don't have faction or I'd be some kind of bitter enemy to the entire species

I am a former master pistoleer. I dropped that to become a holocron inspired master musician. During my musician grind I longed for combat and always thought TK would be cool to try. 5 minutes after getting master musician I dopped it-no offense musicians. Tuesday afternoon I started grinding TK. I have absolutely fallen in love with this class.


I get full Doc buffs from myself and full mastermusician mind substats buffs and can go through any kind of piket lairs on Dantooine like a buzz saw. I do some Fishak and some vercupti and then power boost on top of that. Put on some 61% kineticUbese a guildie made for me to grind TK and I pretty much feel invincible. I have also created a PVE combat macro with martial arts yelling and stacked state effect moves/knockdown. Gawd I love this class!


I have 300k to go and I will be master. That will take 3 mission trips run grouped with a friend who is not fighting. I am happy a holo did not tell me to do this hehe.
