Teras Kasi Archive

I just had the most fun ever in SWG, and it probably wouldn't have been nearly as exciting if I was holding a gun.

Bunchof Imps and I grouped up and whent hunting for Rebels. At first we didn't run into any groups, just a couple singles. So we decide to catch a shuttle to another town. BOOM! right next to a MASS group of rebs. We all engage and this AWESOME battle lasts for quite a while. Now instead of being stupid and running in head first waving around my Teras Kasi tag screaming "DIE BY MY FIST!" I let my pals head in first and start off the battle, while I came around the other side.

Coming in 30 seconds late to the battle I ran and tagged my first victem,quickly sneakingup behind him. He ran a little bit, but I simply knocked him down and killed him. I continued to pick off the closest targets to me. After about 5 minutes I got incapped, however due to confusion I was back up on my feet and ready for battle in no time. I healed myself up for a little bit while running around healing my companions, preventing them from ending up in the cloning center. I then whent back to my super-fun killing spree, and killed plenty more.
However I did NOT just run around blindly, I aided my fellow Imps, and chose my targets as well and clever as I could.

After a while we ended up having to retreat due to lack of troops, and I did eventually end up in the cloning center myself, however... I have never had that much fun before. I killed more rebels than I ever had. So instead of constantly whining everytime I die, I think I'll just look forward to my next big fight.

I don't think TK are as underpowered as people think. A lot of people here seem tobelieve that Teras Kasi should be able to take on way too much than reasonable. They CANNOT make TK like they are in books, and stories that keep on showing up here on the forums. We would then be overpowered, and I truly don't see that much fun in that. We are not going to be able to take on groups of people all by ourselves. If you want that then find out how to unlock the FS slot, then post it on the forums so that we can all have it too.

I know that not all of you think that TK should have super powers like that, but I think that there are plenty here that do, and I'm just saying that we are pretty awesome as we are at the moment. I'm not even really close to Master TK yet, and I still killed plenty, and also (for the 100th time:smileytongue had a blast!

I am going to continue to work my way up to Teras Kasi Master.
And to all you people that are dropping TK... I feel sorry for you,and have fun being a master marksmen like everyone else in the game.

This game isn't going to make itself fun for you, that's your job.

Oh, and just so some people don't go crazy on me. I do believe that TK need some work. They are not at their best, I agree. I'm just saying that we can still have fun, and aren't waaaay to underpowered.

no your rong, terkas (that is abrevated for TK) is realy boring for every one except you still, i cant kill rebels because im a rebel

I definitely love my TKA. There's a reason after I mastered most melees and Ranged weapon classes I chose to revert to TKA even though it'd been nerfed when I first played it. I enjoy it. However... I'm in the biggest PVP guild in the game. When PA vs PA wars were working we were always in PVP, literally. We had cloning center battles as we got camped in respawns(Or did the camping) and whatnot..

And I can tell you.. Melee in general needs some major help. It's underpowered. Only time I ever owned people as a melee was if they were too dumb to run.

But considering in a good battle against people you fight regularly I get dropped after I kill one opponent.. Cause my HAM is like, gone.. Or I get kited constantly.. It's kind of rediculous. Rifles for one should not fire when moving..lol.. The specials should NOT work on the move. (You'll NEVER see a running sniper popping off headshots.. MP5 or pistol.. maybe.. Rifle? No way in hell).. Same for Rocket Launchers and such (Flamethrowers I do agree with them owning us, although I think we should do immense damage vs them because of that..)

DukeHondo, I agree with you about gunners pulling off specials while on the run.. it is rather rediculous if you think about it, maybe not with ALL of their moves though.

Also, I used to have the same problem as you with my HAM always being gone within no time. That was untill I changed my stats quite a bit, now I'm actually standing A LOT longer than usual. I also switch my armor on and off during battle, which helps a ton. There are also some awesome spices and other buffs out there, try stuff out untill you find the right kind for you.

I'm a Doctor =) I have usually got 3000 Health 3000 Action and 1100 Mind.

i totally agree with you amagoi. tho i'm soon going to master pistoleer, i still love my tka and will continue to use that as my primary style of fighting. tka's are still a very powerful profession, you just need to be smart about fighting. if you want to be able to kill mindlessly, go pick up a gun
