Teras Kasi Archive

During Holocron's reply he compares rancors to being roughly the strength of a master Teras Kasi.

On a side note, as a Master TKA I get eaten alive by rancors/gurrecks and especially arachne webmasters now.

I was just wondering if anyone else is irked by this? That an elite SCOUTING profession should have a PET that is, as holocron stated, equal to a master Combat profession? Infact, as of now many of these pets are much better than us. Some have higher damage, posture changing attacks, DEFENSE, and fast movement speed.Now that I say that, it seems that gurrecks and rancors have everything that Teras Kasi need...

I simply agree even if I'm a CH too...

Please point me to that post by Holo. I'd like to see that one. I'll search for it in the mean time.

Anyone know the stats on a rancor? Just wondering myself. Gonna have to fight one and see if I stand a snowball's chance in hell. Do they have ar1 or more? Huge kinetic resist? Or just the 11,000 ham and obscene damage I heard rumour of?

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't help. It says that TKA would be no better than the weaker version of a rancor. As I've heard TKAs were feared by Jedi. If I can find an excerpt of that I think that will help our case seeing as the devs have the info they needed to make the class. I think they need to be reminded.

Teras Kasi are never really specifically detailed in the extended universe. That was more or less speculation to my knowledge(I know which website you are talking about). Also, he says specifically that a PET rancor should be 50/50(even) with a Teras Kasi MASTER. And as I stated before, just try fighting a rancor now, and you'll get eaten alive.

Depending on whether or not it was Bio-Engineered, rancors are somewhere in the following:
Damage: 600ish
AR: 1
HAM: 11k across the board
Resistances: 75% to stun,heat,cold(?) and 30% to kinetic and such
Speed: Somewhere in the area of just slightly slower than burst.

Gurrecks are my favorite, with better ability to tank in turn for slightly less damage:
Damage: 560ish
AR: 2
HAM: 11.2k across the board
Resistances: Same as the Rancors
Speed: A slightly slow takeoff, then moves up to burst run speed(can clear 64m in about 2 seconds, very good against Rifleman/ranged)
Side Note: Reduce posture when attacking

Heh, no way in hell I could take down either of those. Anything with ar1 and a half decent ham gives me nightmares, and anything with ar2 is simply a nogo for me. I won't even take a swing as it's pointless.

Note sure if this will work, but here's a link to where he talks about it:

So a Master TKA vs a Rancor should be 50/50 who wins right?

Versus a PET rancor, yes.

Not to mention the CH obviously.
