I have read several posts on the TKA forum that are related to ranged defense and I have seen some conflicting information. What I am wondering is:

1.) Do any of the ranged professions have ranged defense modifiers that will help a TKA if he does not have the ranged weapon equiped?

2.) If so, are any of these modifiers worth it? I see the advantages of having a ranged profession with a TKA, but I am speaking specifically with respect to the ranged defense modifiers.

3.) Is one of the ranged professions beeter with TKA than the others? I relaize that this is a matter of opinion but I would love to hear some opinions.


Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If you are mainly a combat char and don't mind not haveing alot of other skills, a good way to give yoursefl ranged abilities is to go Commando / TKA. That is what I am working on with my second non-craftting char.

the most i have been able to figure out is master tka/fencer/pikeman

+138 ranged defense and +166 melee defense.

Right now i have like +120 melee defense out of that...and TKAs STILL haven't missed me. Looks like it isn't going to help with the only class i have a problem with.

Is that due to unarmed accuracy?

Ranged/melee defense acts as a negative "to-hit" mod.

Accuracy is positive "to-hit" mod.

If someone has +100 ranged defense and is going up against someone with +100 ranged accuracy, the benefits mutually cancel each other out.

If I recall, TKM's have +150 unarmed accuracy. So you'd need +150 melee defense to bring that mod down to 0 effectively.
