Pre-Patch ..... I was TKM/Smuggler ..... also TKM/Mbrawler.....also TKM/Mpistoleer/Msmuggler......I have played with all ranged and melee proffessions on tc and in game now.... All melee basically have been gimped it seems. Swords are barely up to par with any ranged profession......and my beloved TK is a joke. I have been looking through these forums for some sort of hope. But I all I'm reading dealwait till after this and after that. TKM was fast and deadly, now we are slow and weak. I read in these forums TKM is a tank, yeah right, oh sorry ...thats right we tank real good if we stay in the noob area's around the starports, where groups of nunas cant touch you.... I cant even do mytoons level 80Imp missions with TKM. I mean really, do they plan to fix this fast, its not a revamp issue at the moment its a noone will play this for pve or pvp. Pls come on TKM atm is super slow with no damage. It not as printed......tka isa tank , we cant tank anything worth while. Or is it like think.....SWG is phasing out melee professions. Because if not, then to bad cause thats what they are doing. I'm TKM/Mbrawler/Mcommando w/ some pike atm., and I though that temp was good..... 288 melee defense/ 228 ranged defnse...on paper it looks great...but go out try it ....your a slowy, weak, missing proffession....something I believed TKA would never be. Its not just tka all melee ...feel gimped...no are freaking gimped ...I'm level 80 melee....getting whipped, punk, laughed at by by even novice ranged professions. I not even going talk about the pain of watching tka fight...omg .what is up with that. Pre-patch people would gather a arounf to watch tka fight...the animations are horrible is this a 2005 PC game?.......sorry for my rant... I had to it has stopped me from hitting the cxl button as soooo many of my follow swg mates have done



Pls Madd.......talk to them let them know our pain....I cant believe this once great proffession , has turned in to what ever they think it is ....but its not tka anymore....master toon fights like pre-patch novice brawler

TKA is supposed to be a tank. Tanking doesn't work too well with the hate system ... if you want aggro to STAY on you, you need to be able to deal more damage as well, that's no tank...

Ya, you just have to play a little differently. Like Rixo, I beat 2 MBH dueling and fought a jedi. She beat the stuffings out of me eventually when I couldn't get the KD to work, but it was a fun fight. However, I may have to change since I was thinking of going to my old profession template again and respeced back to TKM tonight to try things out. I was TKM/MBE and it rocked because I could solo so much stuff that it took a lot of the cost out of crafting. I didn't need to depend on anyone for meats since I could kill anything and I could make extra money by taking missions from solo groups to the desired creatures I needed to harvest. I respeced tonight and gotthe crap kicked outta me by thunes, but hey, things change...


I guess I'll just have to learn how to do things differently and grouping will come back into the game again. I guess it'll bring fear back into sampling DNA again since the tough creatures will beat me down in a second. But maybe that's a good thing. I was getting too complacent, being able to kick the crap outta anything. But I will miss those days of fighting 4 tuskens at once in the fort....

No, you DO NOT have to deal damage to maintain your place on the Hate list. You have an ability called TAUNT. Learn to start using it. You have nukes to deal damage. Your job is to hoild the MOB'[s attention. That is what a TANK does.



The TKA has changes as have all the professions. I like the TKA. I was yelling about my loss of armor when I first lost it. And no I can't do what I did before the CU.



Folks, I am NOT new to MMORPG's. You were GODS before the CU. Absolutely NO ONE should be able to stand solo and kill 7 red MOBs at a time. You folks EXPLOITED the system with SOLO GROUPS? What a joke. You could actually take on a mission and MOBs that were supposed to be done by a group and you did it solo. You read right, you were EXPLOITING the group game. About time SOE did something to break that exploit.



Now, no more auto scripted attacks. You actually have to PLAY the game as you go. You actually have to PLAN what missions you are going to take. You are actually going to have to use some kind of attack strategy. You can't just rush in to every MOB in every situation. WHAT A NOVEL IDEA! WHAT A NOVEL WAY TO PLAY A GAME.



Sheesh, I just don't know what will become of an MMORPG where folks have to try to group together to do things. We all know that an MMORPG is supposed to be played solo.



Go play WOW or DAOC folks. Where the name of the game is to fight AGAINST each other and not WITH eacjh other. You don't want to group? Those games can very well suit your play style. But if youy LIKE playing with other folks. If you LIKE using TEAM strategies and being a part of a TEAM, then this might just prove a good game for you. The diversity of abilities and skills is amazing. Does it take time? LOL yeah. It should take time.

I love being TKM, and will be one till I die (or quit the game), but in the movies, I dont recall seeing many people go fiting with anything but blasters and lightsabers. So if they are (which i doubt) trying to make ranged more popular, then so be it.


I will admit that if you duel a ranged who can get you rooted, you are screwed.

That is unless you're also a Master Doctor, in which case you can pop an infusion, bacta shot, re-CoB. I consider being rooted a breather .
