I am a TKM. I've been one for months. However, I feel underpowered (pvp wise). TKAs are very much like any other melee profession, as we should be since we spend the same amount of skill points as any othermelee profession. However, in the Star Wars universe, a TKA is more than just another melee profession. It would have been nice if TKA was an unlockable profession for any melee master be it unarmed, fencer, swordman or pikers. I feel the same way about BHs being an unlockable profession for the range masters. No, "you are sooo overpowered" and consequent nerfs. I would nothave had any problem with spending the extra skill points to acquire TKM. At least we wouldof hada true nemisis, dark jedi. Dangerous to any jedi, except a master who had true skill. Devastating to any lesser combat profession. Forced to dedicate allour skill points for mastering TKM. The lesser professions would be used as a stepping stone to a total combat character or as a complement to a crafter, entertainer or medic profession.

The TKA path would of forced the willing melee masters to undergo an epic quest that required us to show merit and gather pieces of a puzzle that once whole would have given the way to a TKA trainer. We would have to relinquish our VKs, our swords and our polearms, leaving them behind forever. Once well trained and ready, we would hunt those who used the force as a tool of evil. Any newly trained jedi would fears us and any dark jedi master would know that brute force (spamming)could not be used on us and any victory would be hard fought. However, we wouldunderstand a confrontation with a dark jedi master would likely mean our demise, if thejedi masterwas wisein the ways of combat. Even fedgling jedi were dangerous if we were not carefulor overconfident and they were wise beyond thier skills in the force.

We would have the same constraint of any force user. Open use of our skills would place a bounty upon us and placing us before our equals, the bounty hunters, who were ranged masters who under went an epic quest to become the most feared range profession in SWG. What specials we had, they hadspecials to counter it and vice versa. A novice TKA or BH would be too underpowered and too unskilled to handle a master of the opposing profession. However, when two wiley and combat hardened masters entered intocombat a gruesome battle would ensue, imposing massive damage on each other. The victor so weaken that a chef with a ginsu knife and a shot of vassarian brandywould mean death.

But oh well, we are just another melee profession and if we confronted a dark jedi we would get our arses handed to us, nine times out ten, probably ten out of ten once the revamp comes.

Okay to dream though....hmmmmm......sigh....... Man it would have been nice.
