Thread: Defense Vs. KD is broken...
Pre-big patch #2 when friendly dueling with my friend who is a medium to high lvl TKA it used to take him somewhere around 7 or 8 KD attempts to knock me down once, we were just testing KD and aside from the 30 sec timer he landed every single KD he attempted. He hasnt gone up any lvls since patch and I havent gone down any. Anyone else notice this?

I have also noticed that since the latest patch any and every knockdown move that is used almost will work no matter the situation and combatants. The defense vs. posture change skill mod doesn't seem to be working at all. For all the work that is put in to get these skills it is annoying to be taken down by some novice TKA who just got unarmed knockdown 1.
I am finding just the opposite. All positional changes in PvE are being resisted like mad and it's probably statistically just as bad in PvP.
Master Pistoleers get +30 defense to knockdown.
Master Teras Kasi Artists get +20 defense to knockdown.
Does anyone else see something intrinsically wrong with this picture?
I used to think it really didn't matter but any BH/carbineer can knock me down on the first shot, and thus I can never close the gap and attack (not that I would really be able to anyway if he didn't knock me down) but it started to erk me when I found myself spending sometimes as much or greater than 50% of my HAM just trying to knockdown and lunge targets. Everything resists down position to the extent where our obscene lunge HAM cost kills us and it not only fails as often as it works but landing a lunge the first time is usually the server "check" for position, its the 2nd lunge that lets you hit something (Refer to: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=teras_kasi_artist&message.id=14719).
Just another heads up on why the system is further slanted against us. A pistoleer has 30% greater resistance to knockdown than a Master of Teras Kasi. I think the Devs need to read their own handbook again.
man
why are we paying to beta?
KD is still prolly broke unarmed lunge never worked 4 me anyway so......
im going power tech......nothing else appeals to me
