How important are these attributes to a TKA? My character started with very low Mind, Focus and Willpower. Do I need to migrates some points to any of these?

Thanks!

You'll probably want to increase your mind pool. One of TK's most usefull abilities is the powerboost. It takes half of your mind pool base (minus wounds of course) and buffs Health, Action, and Mind by that much.

For example, I have 800 in health, action and mind. So when I powerboost, I get a 400 bonus because of my 800 mind, it takes 60 seconds to "ramp" up, and when it's all set I have 1200 in all three. This lasts about 6 Minutes I believe, haven't sat down with a watch and actually timed it. The duration seems short but, I can often kill off a Piket lair in that time, and it's usefull when you know you're getting close to that Pixie or Muon downer to avoid incaps.

As far as secondary stats, I have my character set to just enough quickness, stamina, strenght, constitution, focus, and willpower to allow me to wear my armor (which I don't wear all the time). If I want these stats boosted, there are a number of spice and food/drink combinations to get these buffed up.

I'm set at

Health: 850

action 700

mind 907

Str 400

quick 700

const 400

stamina 400

focus 400

will 400

It seems to work for me

I play a human character

950/300/300

950/300/300

1000/400/900***willpower regens really fast

I play a zabrak, and I decided that, since I can heal my Health and Action with stims, it makes a lot of sense to max out all of the Mind related stats. Generally I don't have a friendly CM standing around to heal my Mind, so I want that stuff cranking as fast as possible. This way I am doing all I can to protect/regenerate my Mind score.

I have also found I can use Bivoli and Ryshsomething food in combo, and Fish and Muon to really buff things up. One just has to keep an eye out for the downer. Strangely, they seem to time pretty darn close to my powerboost duration, so I tend to get a little warning of one or the other.

I have also found that I prefer a musician buff of secondaries to a dancer buff of Mind (of course if you can get them both, by all means), but I find they don't last long. I heard there is a bug in which Powerboost caused one to lose cantina buffs sooner than one should. Any input on that?

A properly done dancer buff takes 8 minutes to apply, after which you must type /stopwatch. It should last right around 2 hours for 100% mind buff from a master dancer. Many dancers and musicians sadly don't know how to apply it correctly or the customers don't keep them targetted and watch/listen for long enough.

When it is done right it is a great buff to have, wish I could buff myself with it! LOL

Can never find a doc, 2 I did find had no buffs.

dancers are all novice brawlers or something, takes forever to heal 50 bf

do have good food and spice though

Max mind and set focus and willpower so you can wear adv composite

Acton should be next highest and abotu 125% of health. Assuming you are human, all other secondaries should be at least 350 with any remaining points put into strength. With 350 strength you can't do much damage.

Powerboost lasts for about 8 to 9 minutes at master.

I would suggest having 800 mind as the minimum, with both focus and willpower at 500, since in PvP it will be your weakness (eyeshot, mind poison, head hit, head shot, mind bleeds), and in PvE you will have to deal with the mind costs of specials and stims, and NPCs hitting mind as well.

However, it depends on your playstyle.

Hrrrmmmm... many misguided folks...

Strength has NOTHING to do with damage. All stats are [HAM]/[HAM Cost for moves]/[Regeneration] in that order for each set of 3. Wearing full comp armor i have a str of 3 and i do every bit as much damage as when i have 400.

I didn't realise that the powerboost adds half it's own value I reckon I'll be moving some of my 1100 health and 1000 action over to my 660 mind pool tonight.

your a wookiee and u only had 660 in your mind?!? .. thats your weakest area by far..... when i was a wook, i had my mind/focus/willpower jacked way up.. u can buff the other stats easily and heal.....but, youcant heal your mind in combat. not to mentionno helmut......it may help u live that much longer....
