Is it just me or does this seem a little to good to be true? In less than 10 seconds I can get myself up to 1300 HAM that lasts for 10 minutes and has a recycle time of 10 minutes.



If I know I am going to be in a tough fight I can powerboost, sit for 20-30 seconds (to regain lost mind) and just out like a crazy TK. Not to mention if I use one of my spices...or Food...or get a Doctor's Buff!



Anyone else think this is just a little too much here?

i highly doubt he is actually a TKA,just a troll looking to get a post count so the devs look at it.


go back to the pistolier forum.


our collective sphincters have been stretched to the limit with the nerfs we have gotten,its about time we got some love.how about you pistol waving Han solo wanbes not be able to shoot while running......hmmm you trade that and ill give up power boost.

Yes Madcow, believe it or not I am a TK, and have beena TKM for over a month now. I wouldn't trade Unarmed combat for anything because I love it.



However, some things just ARE out of whack. Being able to heal bleeds, poison, disease, and wounds in a matter of seconds is a skill more useful than anything any other class has. Now I agree that Powerboost is great and the way it is working now is tremendous for us...but in all honesty this is just NOT fair when considering our other melee brothers.

ok i opologize for accusing you of not being a tka.


but i do think until they let us hit while moving or move faster.then let us keep the one thing that lets us live longer to get close.

My PvP experience has been such that the fight is determined in the first couple of moves. Living longer=getting kited longer. If you are going to Lunge-Dizzy-Knockdown a ranged guy then it has to be ASAP or during the surprise few seconds of Burst Run. If the guy is not on the ground when these first few things are done, the fight is over. 400 extra HAM can't hurt, but ideally we shouldn't be trading blows.



I would definitely agree with you on your points though. I would trade Powerboost for enhanced running speed any day of the week. And hit on the run is something they never should have taken out.

doctors can buff all 6 non mind stats by 1600 or more for a duration of 2 hours. Dancers can actually double anyones mind pool for 2 hours with no side effects. Musicians can double base focus and willpower for 2 hours. So taken in context with all the other buffs in the game I do not think powerboost is overpowered.

TKA, needs nerf?! Well you nerf powerboost, might as well nerf the rest of our stats, how about take away, our +100 Unarmed Damage! We TKA Deserve that power boost, and even more, WE deserve Faster Innate Running, I mean we are Monks!

You are a monk? Really? What Monestary do you live at? TK's in this world are very unmonk-like. I gave up on that aspect of RPing my character when I saw the TK trainer standing around looking like a Swoop behind a building in Kor Vella...



But I disagree. I don't think we should lose that +100 Unarmed damage buddy.

1300 ham will do alot against others in pvp. What's that give you, the ability to survive another 2-3 hits if lucky, as they kite you. And 1300 ham isn't more than a wookie can have. Power boost is cool, it' a nice novelty. But i would hardly say it's inbalanced.
