I have not been playing a TKA nearly as long as a lot of players on here, but here are my thoughts on proposed changes and in my honest opinion what I think needs to happen with the class.

HAM Costs: The HAM costs for us to use our special moves is absolutely ridiculous. I have a BH on another server and I can fire KD (underhand shot) WITHOUT STOPPING if I am on neutron pixie. As a TKA, I can use one special move, and then gasp in horror as my HAM bars DRAIN OUT. If anything, HAM costs should be able to be further reduced as a TKA advances. I understand that VKs should raise HAM costs, but not as excessively as they do. It is totally unbalanced compared to every other weapon in the game. Lastly, health and action costs should be double what mind costs are. Any real martial artist has his mind developed to a sharp edge, being able to block out those things around him, and this should be reflected IN GAME.

DMG: I think that the damage is somewhat on par with the other classes, but could probably use to be raised for those who don't want to use VKs (due to the insane costs)

TKA vs KITING: In almost any other RPG system, computer or table top, monks/martial artists get movement rate (see foot speed) increases as they develop, and this is something that is SORELY lacking in this game. There is no reason that you cannot give us increases to our normal run rate and/or increase the duration/recovery time for our burst running. I find it odd that you find it unbalanced that we could kite slow creatures, but when it comes to PCs getting kited by other PCs it is irrelevant.

ARMOR/EVASION: Something has GOT to be done to help us TKAs in combat from getting waxed so easily. We can't wear armor. We are usually the tanks in a group (not including creatures) and yet, we have hardly anything to protect us. PLEASE do something to help us evade more/better, to include evading statuses/recovering from them much quicker.

Come on dev's, throw us a bone here... I mean, bio-e's can kill creatures with one hit of their ability, and yet, we, highly trained martial artists kill ourselves when we use any of our abilities. Something has really got to be done to help us TKA folk.
