Teras Kasi Archive

Like the topic says, I am abandoning my unarmed brawler skills and giving up on my journey to Teras Kasi Artist because of the following:

- Brawler has been nerfed badly, with no knucklers it is a VERY long journey to Novice Teras Kasi and though I am sure I could do it, its not enjoyable anymore.

- After the grueling time spent getting to Teras Kasi, the awards are few. With the knockdown nerf, TKA's can no longer function as effective tanks. With CH nerf (the only good thing about patch) I expected the demand for TKA's would increase...what a let down this was.

- Everything about the profession makes no sense whatsoever, the high HAM costs for specials means that if you do use knockdown and someone takes a shot at ANY of you pools you are most likely dead. Also, using knucklers should not be such a toss up between HAM cost and damage it seems to me that sooo many things about this profession are contradictory.

Just want to add, that before this I looked on TKA as one of the most elegant and enticing professions around, it had a completeness about it and a solo efficieny that was second to none.

I do think that knockdown should have been nerfed a little but not to this extreme, personally I feel a knockdown hit chance nerf would have been more suitable.

Well I'm not giving up altogether, but now I'm going to work on my Swordsman skill instead as I can't use VKs now and it'll take FOREVER to get out of unarmed III.

Some of the older TKA's on this board went pretty far without knuckles. I myself was at power 1 before I finally got my first pair of knuckles. Of course, it wasn't by choice, there just weren't any knuckles around then..
