i am pretty annoyed i hear this all the time, i am sick of all the creature handlers with thier big and ugly graul maulers (i was master ch as well)...
here is my advice for all who want to play a melee fighter, deal good damage, tank everything in the game - for those who want to do it themself, not a stupid pet

-be master doctor, be master tka (or work towards it)
-buff yourself up
-eat mind enhancing food
-power boost
-eat focus/willpower enhancing food
-equip 60%+ armor
-go into the fight, kill everything spamming kd2/uah3 for 20mind
-save the muon gold for later in hard fights, you will actually HEAL 500 mind in using it

yes, i consider myself better than any pet out there. i will die because of my mind sometimes. thats the only weak point. so all you people who enjoy fighting yourself, beeing toe to toe with an enemy all these wimpy gunusers run from, its possible, and it is great

here are 2 screenshots so you can see what is possible, thats me against 9(!!) 8000+ ham mobs at the SAME time(it is the final mission of the act2 story arc). i did it this afternoon, no knockdown bug was used.

you should have made the title say tkas, not melees. You seem to forget who is the best melee profession and who is gimped.

touche

Also forgot to mention that ranged userers can use these exact same thigs, and be JUST as good a tank.....

pure ranged do not have debuffs - stun/intim; intim being the better of the rest. so yes WE are better tanks.

the powerboost fix is one of the greatest fixes to tk.

i boost up kill for 10 minutes wait while it wears off for a minute then boost up again.

i usually can do2 missions shortly following the boost wears off. and when im on it dont have to heal once while fighting stuff that usually kills me quickly

ranged users can absolutely not tank this way!
you need intimidate/stun for the hard hitting stuff.

and its not only tka, i have a master swordsman friend, and when i buff him up, its the same. sure we have some more defensive mods, but that really does not matter. i am hit for 10damge when the target is debuffed, he is hit for 14

It shouldn't say melee's either, it should say melees/doctors.

Did oyu know that you can use intimidate/warcry with a ranged weapon?

I do it ALL the time with my pistol and flamethrower.

So, what you're saying is: in order for us to be viable in combat, we have to be a Master Doctor (or have doctor buffs available), be a Master Smuggler (or have spice available), be a Master Chef (or have food available) ...

All of that adds up to one thing: you're missing the point completely.

If you want to do a meaningful comparison, then compare a 'stripped down', non-buffed pistoleer versus a non-buffed TKA. All your talk about needing buffs, etc. just lends more credence to the fact that TKA's have to use supplemental buffs .... just to be competitive.

So you feel that making everyone into clones is the cure?

Master Doc/TKA
54% Comp,78% helm.

WIth intimidate one I can tank krayts.

Buff my Master commando /master TKA friend he can tank em to.

As long as at-st has most of the agro =)

you can't tank krayts with intimidate1.

Im TKM & Master brawler with 68% composite and cant do it. Intimidate 2 drops dmg by 60% and krayts can hit for 8k, thats a 3200 max hit, I dont care how buffed you are you will die.

now rancors & kimos thats another story.

but I totally agree with the first poster. Im so sick of grauls and AT-ST's
