are these for PvP only, or is it just general TKA problems?

I will be putting up two posts every week one for PVP and one for PVE.

This one is your PVP issues

ok, cool...the Nuna thing kinda threw me a sec...

Firstly, grats on your coro position

Secondly, I would love to see more of our attacks being "good"!

As a TKM I feel, all im using is UH3 and KD2! And that's about it...

I would wish that my toolbar was full of just as usefull specials, so I could get more strategic combat and fun

More powerful dizzy/blind/posture change/bleed attacks! Maybe make a usefull area attack..

The meditation line is all cool, but im talking more in the lines of bodyhit and unarmed combo 1&2 and leghit and headhit! I wish these had seriously advantages over UH3...

But that's about it I guss. I think TKA is a well rounded good balanced character. When the razor VKs kicks into play that is, and we are able to do damage against peeps with 80% kintic comp

I agree with Jenky. Unfortunately I used UH3 all the time because it does the most damage. Occasionally I'll do mindhit in PvP. But, generally, it's unfortunate that we have all these really cool looking moves, but we hardly ever use them because we know it just means we'll die a lot quicker.

I understand, and as a correspondent I suppose I am not supposed to give PVP suggestions but I'm going to anyway

I have found that just about every move in TK useful in some way. For example we currently only do one type of damage (the biggest gripe of them all) so my objective in pvp lately (with the exception of fencers with aky batons) is to last long enough to get "through" the other players buffs. If any of you have gone up against a fencer with any kind of stun baton you'll notice that the scatter hit they use plows right through any mitigation buffs you have (synthsteak for example.) It is absolutely useless against that hit. Our corrisponding move would be unarmed combo. Any mitigation buffs they have are useless,and its a good way to find out which ham bar is the weakest in defense. Mitigation has a limited duration and hit amount so it dosent take too long before you havemade it useless plus yourhits are goign right through it anyway.On my server skirts with composite aremor have been the fashon so leg hit works wonders.My goal usually is to last long enough to get through thier synthsteak, GSP's and sometimes spices. Even against 80% kinetic armor, intimidated, and stunned I can still do decent damage. Our knockdown has become less useful since thakitillo, but using dizzy hit works wonders in a fight if you are with a team and they get posture changed. It also hits the mind more frequently.

Thats been my experience...what do you think?

I'd like to see the TKA get a bleed. Something like a nose bleed/snout bleed that drains the mind pool, stuns, and blinds...These are all things that happen when you get your nose broken. Unfortunately, I have firsthand experience. Anyway, congrats on the gig.

Yes Duck I would.

Send me a pm if you like or if you can convey what you think without getting too frustrated then please put it in this post. The other side of the forums (IE: reporting to TH) really needs some input soon.

My major complaint with TKA in PvP is the damage type we can use. Kinetic damage faces the highest protections from armor. Any suit of composite, even cheap ones will almost always hit 80% kinetic protection. The solution to this that I see is to give TKAs the stun knucker, which would do nothing more than put us on par with fencers. The stun knuckler wouldn't need to be any better than a stun baton and would really give us the ability to be a viable PvP profession. Other types of damage would be nice, as would DOTs but in my mind its not that big a deal.
