Hello, I was wanting to know what enhancers would go best at master level and is there really a +25 cap? For instance, at master level using 2.0 spd VKs would speed enhancers do anything, or will you already be at the 1.0 speed cap?
My normal targets are npcs, mostly Nightsisters, have been for months thru all of my proffesions, they tend to stun/kd/blind and a few others, so I will want to use some def enhancers against that and also melee def, other then that I see unarmed spd/dmg/accu enhnacers.
So if you had the options what would you use?

Speed modifiers don't do any good for a TKM due to the speed cap.
Use Unarmed Damage, Unarmed Accuracy, and the generic defensive modifiers like Melee Defense, Ranged Defense, Defense vs. Knockdown, etc.

Nope, at master you'll have more +100 in speed. This means a reduction of the speed with more than a 100 %... which is replaced by the speed cap at 1 s as said.
Unarmed accuracy is probably not going to be useful, as a TKM has +205 in accuracy, typical goodtapes give at max +10 (you might be lucky though and get more) but in comparison with what you already got it makes little differense. I'dsay defenses against KD/dizzy etc. are the best for TKM's.

Natively, TKMs get these bonuses
Defense vs Blind +10
Defense vs Dizzy +5
Defense vs Intimidate +0
Defense vs Knockdown +20
Defense vs Posture Change +30
Defense vs Stun +15
Defense vs Dizzy +5
Defense vs Intimidate +0
Defense vs Knockdown +20
Defense vs Posture Change +30
Defense vs Stun +15
Any skill tapes/AA's that enhance any of these are good. Especially Dizzy, as that's major.

A friend and I tested some of his gear which included Unarmed Damage +24... there was no perceptible difference in the damage he was doing to me.
He is a master TKthough, and I'm guessing there might be a strange deal where your total unarmed damage bonus is limited to +255... since he had +250 already,amere 5 point increase could easily be overlooked once the25% pvp reduction is factored in.
Either that, or unarmed damage skill enhancers are just broken.

Awesome, thanks for all the input.
I wear all BE clothes so tapes are more what I am after, but I do have alot of skill plates so I am going to experiment with a few padded armor belts.
So it looks like it is all defense, sad that there are no def vs. choke hehe.
I was hopeing that there would be something that could also add dmg in some way but I guess that is not the case.
Thanks again,
I will post anything that I find to be useful on this subject through experiments.

I think it's really just a matter of preference. I personally hate being KD'd and I hate bleeds. So I wear +25 to bleed resistance in my BE clothes. And add +defense to posture changes whenever possible to my armor. A BH friend of mine opted to do nothing but max out melee defense with his BE clothes and skill tapes because he likes to get up close and use his LLC. So again, it's just a matter of playstyle and preference.

Another reason the Dev's need to post the game mechanics wich would include such things as caps or maxes and how all the modifiers work etc.
I believe that Jherad is trying to put together a "how things work" topic that may answer some of our questions as well as let the Dev's know that we want to know : }
I have had a full set of Bio clothes all with the melee defense properties and I have never noticed a benifit to them. It may be such a small bonus even at low levels that it may not be noticeable.

I have about +17 unarmed damage in my clothing. I think I do more damage, but it could just be my imagination.

dont forget Warcry CA/AA's.
imo def v blind is more important than def v stun
