Hey all -

Been TKA Master for a while and love it

As a matter of fact I love it so much I mastered brawler

BUT

As we all know we don't do any damage outside of kicking distance

I was wondering if you all would be so kind to clue me in...

What is the best overall (PVP and PVE) ranged profession to have with TKA?

I did some rifles (up to rifles 4) tonight (someone told me rifleman + tka = godlike) and thought it was ok.

But I really dont know that much about the other professions.

And please don't suggest the Doctor + TKA combo (5 days of healing someone while they tumble would kill me)....remeber I am looking for a ranged profession

master rifleman is the best ranged profession that you cantake with master tka. you can spam your best specials at one per second, DEVISTATE the mind pool, and DB from a distance. you can cause mind bleeds and then run into buttkicking distance and finish off the baddie (PvE or PvP) with relative ease.

the problem is you really dont see the benifits of Rifleman until you are AT LEAST 4/0/0/4, and to truly become 'god like' you have to master the profession. it will be well worth the time spent

just my $0.02

I'm trying out tka + pistoleer/smuggler - I'm not very far into it yet. TK master + 0012 pistols and 0324 smuggler. Got to finish smuggler for a dirty holocron, but then I'll go tkm/master gunfighter/rogue/novice medic

pistoleer you get a load of state defences and a nice dodge bonus, as well as good pistol speed. smuggler you get nice special moves

for pvp - smuggler dirty fighting line you get panic shot which delays the next action, like warcry, but from a gun, with damage and at 60m. And then there's the kd (forget the name of it - not got that yet). Stick somebody with a kd, delay and bleed from distance. run over, dizzy, and kd again if they're up for some reason, unarmedhit2 or 3, game over. Plus you get a big bonus to defence vs stun, defence vs dizzy, defence vs kd and a nicedodge bonus. You won't be unhittable like a pistoleer/fencer, but I think it's going to be a nice pvp template

for pve - two bleed shots and feign death. if there's a hugely kinetic resitant mob (Mokk/dantari rockshapers...), bleed it with 2 stacking health bleeds, then fake being dead. Bleeds out, stand up, kill it.

Between the bleeds, feign death, and tk I don't think there's many things in the game that won't be soloable with good armour and some tactics

*Takes NeoEcks $0.02 and makes a run for it*

Seriously though, NeoEcks is right on the Rifleman. As soon as they take away our stackable defenses away I will be going Master Rifleman. But if you dont PVP then anything go Pistols. Dont go Carbines unless you like headaches or unless the Devs decide to wake up and start fixing stuff instead of nerfing stuff.

Well if you want to be the god of PvP then take Rifleman not because of specials but because of the defenses. You will most likely get hit about 1/20 times theregor you can own about 10 people at the same time. **edit**ing stackers

i have been trying to get this point across for a while now. rather than tear/nerf every class DOWN to the level of the most broken class, the Devs should try fixing/building UP the broken classes to the level of those that work well!!

the stackable defences should be going out with publish 6 on the 12th of this month. LOTS of players are going to have to rethink their templates!

Rifleman is next on the nerf list. Master Teras Kasi / Master Pistoleer / Master Smugglar will give you the balance in combat you need. When the new combat balancing is finished tied in with the new HAM configuration combat will not be anything like it is now.

You will be using your secondary stats which will run out and recharge quicker. This means more " hit and run" and "jab and parry" techniques. You will not be able to rely on "tanking" alone and you will have to rely on your partners more and your own skills less.
