asking this question coz im considering becoming one coz so many people are tht must be for a reason, im new so i dont know much about the professions, when i asked my friend he sed tkas are crap coz they dont hit much damage, so i said yeah but they have meditation, he replies that meditation is crap coz it takes forever, is their wisdom to his words or is he BSing? also what makes everyone choose tkas neway?

Getting to novice Teras Kasi is the hard part. After that, you will easily notice that Teras Kasi are an extremely powerful profession. As far as meditation taking too long.. Too long for what? To heal wounds? I am a master doctor and master Teras Kasi, and Id take meditation over using medpacks to heal any day. Its cheaper, and really not very slow at all. Your friend obviously lacks experience with the profession.

Of course, as with every profession, there are issues. Teras Kasi are melee, and lack the ability to attack long range (well, hitting someone from around 25 meters isnt bad, but its not long range either). Furthermore, Teras Kasi only have one damage type; Kinetic. Other professions are able to do all sorts of different damages with their weapons.

What it all comes down to is what you like to do. Do you like to run in and beat the crap out of stuff with your bare hands? (or VKs)

Or do you like to shoot stuff at a safe distance and not let whatever youre attacking even come close?

Anyway, personally, I prefer to charge in and watch my character do all kinds of cool looking spins kicks and punches. For me, that alone is entertaining.

Oh, right, to add to what I was saying about meditation... We can also heal our own mind wounds. The only thing we cant heal is battlefatigue, but who cares about that when it takes something like 400 before it has an effect on you.

TKA ROCKS MAN!!!! i absolutely love it, i have mastered a few professions (BH, Marksman, Commando, Scout) but i really enjoy tka. Its really cool watching the moves that your character does.........cracks me up sometimes!!!

As far as range is concerned i am TKA/Rifleman so i get the best of both worlds...........overall this is the best combination and the one i have enjoyed so far

good luck............and enjoy it

Hi

TKA if mixed with one other proffession is very powerfull, i have MTK and MCH i send my pets in first then i charge in, that waywhat im fighting usly leaves mealone (as long asi stay behind my pets, and also when not grouping pets with me), another good side to TKA is you can buff yourself to i think is twice your ham all 3 that is, but it dose not last long so be carefull, plus im not to sure but when it wears off your mind go's down to half it normal level and then slowly go's back to its default ( thats the down side ). also remember useing KD has a 30 second delay before you can use it again.

Thier is a macro you can set up to let you know when you can use KD if you want :

name= time

/alarmaddin 0 0 you can use KD now; (first 0 = hours second 0 = minutes)

I did the grind for 21 profs before unlocking my Jedi and out of all of the combat profs, TKA was the easiest ( after novice ) and fastest.....

Now that i dont have to rely on grinding to unlock, Im going TKA/Doc so i can tank Krayt dragons for pearls hehe...

Trust me.. very powerful prof.

Good luck killing Krayts with TKM. They have heavy armor and very high kinetic resists. Even with doc.

well lets see hmm

TKA happens to have the coolest looking moves in the game

and you don't want to do ranged combat thats boring

it ends up being a lot of runnin away from crap or shooting from a safe distance

most boring thing in the game
