Hey fellas, I'm currently playing a smuggler, and will have some points left after reaching master. Since I had to train unarmed to become a smuggler, I was thinking about taking some of the TKA skills, Specifically the line that grants equilibrium.

My main reason for doing this would be to take the sting off KD moves in pvp. I have spent some time fighting a certain TKA on my server, and the skill seems to be working VERY well for him. For the most part, he seems to be immune to KD moves, and springs back to his feet seconds after being hit with one.

I have searched these boards, and it would seem thatalotofyou think equilibrium doesn't work very well. Honestly that hasn't been my experience at all, but before I spend the points, and start another exp grind I'd like some more input.

So for those of you that have the skill, do you find it worth the points spent? What percentage of the time would ya say it works for you? Thanks in advance for any replies

Well, I am a TKA Master and I can tell you I have never resisted a KD by another TK or any other classes KD, defenses simply don't work right now. This is one of the top 5 issues we TKA's are trying to get the dev's to realize. If the TKA your using KD (lowblow, obviously)against is resisting, he's bugged in a good way.

Again I have never resisted a KD shot or blow and I rarely if ever get missed by players and NPC's alike. Even green con's have haydays with me until I swing back at them. Basically the TKA 'Elite' profession is not elite at all and the devs have really taken away and fun playability to the class because of the extremely high HAM costs to all our special moves.

To sum it up, if your going TKA for the defenses, don't! Pistoleer has better defenses than TKA (go figure) and the defenses have proven to not work for any of us TKA's.

Wow guys thats very suprising. The TKA I wasfighting jumped right back up after my KD (pistol melee defense) approx 70% of the time. Since he was am imp, and I'm a rebel, he wouldn't share how he was doing it, so I was left to guess that it was related to equilibrium. Anyways, thanks for saving me the points, and the unarmed grind to novice tka.

the Equilibrium command for me only works once an hour. I rarely use it, unless im about to be mind incapped by a tusken warlord or something. I'm a fairly low level TKA, 0/1/2/1. If i try to use it again in that hour it says soemthing like "you cannot use Equilibrium for another 56 minutes 47 seconds"

.....*smacks nealock*

?

The only defensive tree that we have that works is the precision line, not the balance line.

Crazy eh?

Not a master yet, but I've fought a fair share and havenever resisted any special maneuver.

All people can get up fom this, you just hit "/stand". Anyway, it doesn't help me at all, and especially doesn't help me get up faster than a spammer can just hit pistol whip again... and again... and again.
