I am well aware that TKM is no longer "the thing" but does anyone currently hunt jedi with TKM in their template? The pure roleplay aspect of TKA really, really makes me want to respec over to it. My only fear is that I simply won't be able to compete with Jedi. As it stands, my MBH/MCM/4000 Carbineer template has no trouble laying the smack down on nearly knight level jedi and absolutely wastes anything below a near complete template. I am considering TKM / 4000 BH / 4004 CM but my fears are:
1) The lack of ranged knockdowns will allow the Jedi to easily run.
2) I won't be able to dish out enough damage with TKA, and without MCM I really can't depend on DOTs.
Maybe a TKM/MBH and alittle medic? That way, you could use a ranged weapon but rely on tkm defenses? Although the healing is so weak I doubt it would be enough to keep you alive in a Jedi duel.
If anyone out there is fighting Jedi, please do share your expeirences.

I am a Teräs Käsi Master, Smuggler 4-0-4-0, and Bounty Hunter 4-0-4-0.
I take missions usually in the 100k - 150k range, and roleplay them, and I can hold my own against these most of the time.
I hunt the mark down, and when I see my chance, I powerboost, take a spice, food, drink, and hit my COB macro( which is very important), then start off with a Concussion Shot and a Underhand Shot.
I then switch to unarmed and hit the Armor Break attack, after that I hit Unarmed Combo, then Melee Hit while Unarmed Combo is cooling down( I have Melee Hit on auto-attack, so that it keeps the attacks rolling while other specials are cooling down). I have some +1100 Stim-Ds to help out if, and when I need it.
If the fight is going badly, then Feign Death, and Last Ditch are there to help. But usually I do okay without them.
I haven't even tried bomb droids yet, that may help a lot.
Anyway, I've done pretty well so far, more kills than deaths. I've just started Bounty Hunting about a week ago, I've been killed twice, but have completed four missions.
And win or lose, I always have a lot of fun tracking, and fighting my marks.
Hope that helps.

That is a very interesting template! Are you CL80? And what does your COB macro consist of? From what I have read,COB worksmuch differently than pre-cu.
EDIT: Also I am curious, is lunge still a posture down attack from 15m?

my CoB macro (in all its complex glory) with the CoB icon in the last box, 2d row and macro right next to it:
/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/pause 30;
/ui action toolbar slot22;
hard, huh?

Heheh, thanks.

I'm CL76, about 2500-ish HAM. With Powerboost, getting that up to 3k, then 10% from Pixie, 3.3k, then the food and drink, I do alright.
And what does your COB macro consist of?
Like an poster above said, pretty simple, just make a macro and call it COB(or whatever), then put:
/CenterofBeing;
/pause 20;
/macro (name of macro)
Center of Being I think runs for about 45 seconds. I put my pause at 20 seconds, halfway, so that if I'm moving around it has a second chance to fire, and usually never fails to be always active.
From what I have read, COB works much differently than pre-cu.
Yeah, it now adds 500 points to your defense. To my knowledge(someone correct me if I'm wrong), your innate armor will take away almost half the damage(48%), and then CoB will again take away half the damage left over from that.
EDIT: Also I am curious, is lunge still a posture down attack from 15m?
It is still a posture down attack, and I know that it can be used at a farther reaching range than your other attacks, but I'm not sure if it's 15m anymore.
I usually go with Underhand and Concussion Shot.

Whoa, whoa,
Combo attack is absolute ass. It hits for about 50% less then what my Melee Strike does. Does it have another effect that I may be ignorant of?

It actually does plenty of damage, it's just bugged and reports the wrong amount.
If you hold your mouse over the health bar of the target, you can see how much it takes off for each hit. It's not useless although it does cost quite a bit of action.

Lunge is no longer a posture down, it's a knockdown, which is arguably different. But then again, there are no more posture down moves, so lunge would be the closest thing...
