Hola, I'm a TKM and I always have this problem:

I'll be attacking, get out of a battle (PvP) and I can take almost any class (cept BH/Carb with their no timer KD...but that's a different post) but everytime I meet up and go hand to hand with another TKM I lose about 80% of the time.

I don't use VKs (too much HAM usage, not enough damage difference) nor am I often buffed (especially in large battles, can't just powerboost in the battle field)

So then I'll start to unload on teh guy (used to do mind hits cause that's a TKAs weakest pool unless it's buffed) but now I just do a complete UH3 barrage on the other TKAs and I usually end up dead (even if it's a duel and all the stuff is even).

So after the initial KDs are over and both fail, how do you win a duel with another TKM? (or high level TKA for that matter)

have you tried warcy, intimidation, blind and stun ?

Intimidate usually fails, warcry works sometimes, blind never helps much (we got 250 accuracy, rarely miss when blinded even) and stun....I don't think I've ever seen stun do anything to affect much of anything

oki, so basicly you dont use any of the tools that can help. There is a realm of options beside KD2, UH3...

carbineers isnt that hard to kill. Eventually one of their Knock downs wont stick and you will have time to lunge them after that its all over.

I watched some carbineer spam kd on me about 20 times and my ham bar hardly moved at all. It was just a matter of time.

Intim halves their dmg and stun makes it even less.

Course I usually just KD and flame..

who said I don't use it?

I'm not gonna sit there repeatedly trying to intimidate them after it fails once or twice while they're pounding on me

I'm not gonna constantly try to warcry when it fails the first time

I'm not going to blind them when I've seen no change from blind to not blind TKA

I'm not going to stun them when it has no effect (as far as I can tell)

I'll try it once per battle, if it works, great! If it fails, well I'm not gonna waste more turns trying to get it to work, by the time it does work I'll be incapped

Actually, ironically shifte, my character does have Chef as a side job currently, but he's low level

kd him!, if the dizzy sticks but the kd dosen't lunge!!that will bringem down

Stun is VERY useful. When your oppenent is stunned all their specials cost them more HAM and they are less likely to work. (after watching combat spam for hours this was my conclusion, if any one has an official word from the devs that contridicts this statement, please, enlighten us.) If you spam KD2 for a bit and they don't drop, then definately stun is you next best attack to go for. You can watch their HAM melt away as they try special after special on you.

You might also try incorperating a second Combat prof if you're really serious about PvP...or if you don't like ranged at all, Master Brawler, Warcry2 and UnarmedLunge 2 are nice.

Personally I opted for a set of Ranged Attacks that I felt best complimented TK, Dirty Fighting. Low Blow, Panic Shot, Burst Run, UH3, UH3, UH3 pretty much ends any fight with BH's, Pistoleers, Carbineers, Rifleman and Commandos (I haven't fought many CM's), and I can just kite mostnone ranged fighters for awhile until I've worn down their HAM enough that I'm fairly certain I'll win toe to toe.

im a master tka

master brawler

master fencer

0040 pikeman

0040 swordsman

medic 2000....

lol...i cant remeber the last time i got knockdown...

and with stun, good luck, i get mods plus shirt and belt alone, are plus 32 to stun ....if you blind me your dead i dont miss, i spam, kd and hit3, warcy ....

out of all i have thats about all i do, i dont lose....

just my 2 cents

If you have +32 to stun mod clothing, your wasting clothing. No mod goes higher than +25, there is a cap to how much they stack. As far as if I was fighting you...well if stun doesn't work once or twice...why would I use it again?

There is no Uber Template, there is No Uber Modded Stat that will win you every fight. You want to win, fight smart, use your head. I was killing Master TKs with just 0/3/3/4 in BH. I've killed MBH's with just 3/3/3/2 in TK. Hell, I killed a Master Commando with Unarmed IV and Novice Pistoleer...it's all about knowing how to use what you have. Not just what you have.

and maybe if there dumb ....

but your are right about no sure winner ...

I take over med centers, cantinas, and my fav is just to chill in the starport, no matter what i do, im a brawler and well people know to run from me ... not allot i can do about that, get low blow maybe ;but wanted to stay in the brawler thing...
