Hi all, ive recently returned to the game after almost a year, and after mastering Doctor i have decided to pick up TKA as a combat prof. I made TK novice last night, and im getting alot of advice from friends but still have a couple questions.

Should i go straight up the power/speed branch or should i get knockdown 1 first?

I am currently using a set of 60-140 1.7 speed VK's should i look for higher damage ones or keep my speed low?

Thanks for the help!

well if it was me i got the Technique line first this gives you speed and damage first it what i did and ive mastered tkm twice , as i find speed and damage is better to go first it make leveling easier after

with the VK id go for damage , but some like speed vk at novice

The speed/power line is where it's at. I'm currently 0132 and I can rip through anything lesser then one of the High lvl Rancors (Ancient? Enraged?). They give me a bit of pause but I can still kill them with h2h only.

In my opinion, you need to blast through techniques as fast as you can, and then the KD tree. The defence tree comes as you level the others, so don't worry about that.

It's all well and good being able to KD an opponent, but if you can't rip them to shreds when they are down, they'll laugh at you when they get up and kill you.

Everyone has different opinions, I am yet to complete Master TKA, but I went up the speed tree first, and then worked on the meditation tree. This way I was picking up speed and relied less on VK's (due to the HAM costs) as I progressed, and the meditation tree allows me to heal my own wounds, and gives me Power Boost and Force of Will should I need it.

Me self, i first got speed/damage 1 then i got KD, after that i mastered speed/damage, now i think i go meditate for wound heal..atleast gona get lvl 1 in meditate..

The skills you get first depends on your playing style. If you enjoy PvPing even though you aren't viable, you should pick up Intermediate Balance Conditioning (the KD1 skill) before power. In my opinion, you aren't gonna need this.

Here's what I would do..

Reach Master Power Techs for the additional damage and speed.

Grab the first box of balance conditioning for the knockdown...the rest of the skill mods aren't THAT much of a help alone.

Grab Meditate IV. Powerboost is amazing...healing wounds is amazing...force of will is amazing...curing poison/disease is amazing...you get the picture

Finish up balance..

Of course the precision striking tier comes with combat xp so...yeah...
