I am a TKM and i just really do not understand why people fear us so badly that they cry nerf on us. The best ranged attack we have is 15m with lunge 1 and really its not that great, and the rest of our attacks have to be performed at 5m or less. Personally if i were them i would fear the rifleman that can 1 shot kill from 64m away, or maybe a pistoleer that does 800 damage per sec from any distance along with almost an impossibility to be knocked down, or my personal favorite "the bounty hunter" that can just run and spam eyeshot till your unhealable mind pool is depleted. Hmm doesn't exactly make sense too me.

riflemen can't one-shot except under very ideal circumstances. but yeah, those three classes you mentioned do have their strengths... people fear them, too.

as to why they fear tkm's too? well, if you DO land that knockdown... your opponent's probably going to stay down, until they clone.

cuz u guys are UBER! lol not that u should be nerfed or anything i think u guys are fine as is. fencers are pretty uber too.

They fear us because we are the most visable. Soon enough the Fencers will outnumber us as the flavor of the month selection. Then hopefully the nerfhunters will migrate to their forums.

People fear us because they don't know how to dance around us in Pvp. i use a heavy attack and bait system when i get into pvp, and i've been overwhelmingly successful. With TKA the draw back is that you have to chase people down, meaning a lot of burst running and a lot of Target is our of range system messages spamming your chat bar. If they chase you inside somewhere the fight should be yours. If you're a TKM don't strictly rely on KD2, it's range is only 10 meters i find that ua lunge 1 is probably my most usefull skill in pvp because of the 20 meter hit range and it's posture changing ability. If i can get them to kneel, it's enough time to dizzy hit and kd2 them, if the dizzy stick, i just keep tapping kd2 at my leasure while staying next to them untill i get the Knock down... once they're on the ground i just spam uahit3 untill they're incapped. My opinion is... if the other player is stupid enough to get within 20 meters of us they derserve to get killed. because it's just not difficult at all to kill a tkm if you kite them. I did it myself when i was a rifleman very low level too. No reason to fear a tkm if you know what tools they have available to them, i would be more worried about a tripple master than just a tkm.

Because they are too stupid not to fight us on our own terms.

Because as ranged weapon users they have this preconcieved notion that no melee should ever be able to have a chance at killing them.

Because they are too stupid to get close to us.

Because they don't realize that by staying more than 20m away (lunge2), they can kite us with impunity.

See the trend? Its because people don't know how to play their own profession(s) to counter us. Simple. People fear what they don't know. The only people I truly fear in PvP are fencers. Everybody else seems to be f*cking retarded and likes to run right up to me to shoot me. Except rifleman, who lay down 40m away, and don't get up in time from prone before I'm already on top of them.

that and pikeman suck.

and for some reason, ranged classes think we should all equal pikeman... and they don't understand the melee vs. ranged multiplier and think that when we hit for 3000 againest a kd'd rifleman, that it's our normal damage...

lol!

I WISH

People fear TK for the same reason they fear commandos....they're too stupid the stay out of range. period.

ummm anyone else thing lunge 2 is better. Cuase a less expensive unarmed knockdown dealing the same damage is good for me.

if melee is uber then I am sorry, but you are an IDIOT! Run in a straight line and aside from burstrun we will never ever hit you! 15m doesnt usually work because its bugged half the time for (most of) us. Plus i went one on one at MASTER with a master pistoleer, and he KDed me 90% of the time and my kd damage was what got him. I never knocked him down in 2 duels (this was intended to test kdability, not to kill eachother)

I'm a Master Pistoleer, and server lag lets you hit me at 25m on my screen. I've never beatena TKA that isn't 0/1/1/0...

The real people to fear are the Master TKA/Master riflemen... like me.

lol you guys need to open your eyes. believe it or not, not everyone is ranged ! ! ! ! a ton of people are melee so we have to fight within/close to your range.

It's a very simple answer. the answer is Knockdown2 or knockdown/dizzy. Period.
