Damn, I ALMOST thought you were serious for a second there. Thats a good bit of trolling, if I do say so myself.
Nice work, mate.

You dont quite understand.
There are not many TKAs left.
There are many Mystics though! And quite a few Warriors!
Mystic is the meditate tree - which give them meditate, PB and Fow along with abillity to cure their own wounds, poisons and diseases!
Warrior has good defenses! Mostly its Defense dabblers who wanna be ideal tanks who go that way! But i heard about many pikes and swordsman who are doing that aswell, along with two fencer lines for ideal defense!
But its ironic that a combat medic comes here and whine about PVP! Combat medics are one of the biggest reasons why noone PVPS! Rifleman is not so overpowered as CMS!

Please I just ask people out there, be more creative when choosing your professions. Don't be like 3/4 of the people in-game currently and be a TKA because you know they are badass. Please think of a new strategy thats fun, instead of KD/Dizzy and spam any special attack afterwards.
I played a TKA from release day to a couple of months ago, and have (in the past) contributedquite a lot to this forum. Out of boredom and a general need to 'do something different' I decided to pursue the Pistoleer profession.I am currently considering dropping Pistoleer and relearning TKA, if only because it is one of the only 'working' combat professions in the game.
For someone who wasn't even around when TKA was a 'broken' profession--when HAM costs alone would incap you if you were unbuffed--you seem rather bold in telling others not to do something they like to do, especially when some of us were here first, so to speak. You don't like the number of TKA's in the game? Guess what--no one really does, especially other 'purist' TKA's. But we recognize that it's the game developer's fault for making TKA so versatile and useful. To blame the player for pursuing a useful profession in the game (one of the only useful professions) is blatantly absurd.
Guys, look at the name.

He's trolling...but he's created a very nice satirical, tongue-in-cheek thing.
He's not serious, people.

Rifleman and CM is far more effective in PVP then TKM, if you let a TKM get close to you, Then its your fault. Also I hate to brake it too you, but I can KD and Dizzy you with my Pike also, so can every other melee, save for Fencer who can Dizzy you then Posture change, so when you stand, you fall over.
Its not that effective because you lack a lot of defense. Its only effective when people don't bring Doctors with them.
I know it may sound like i'm whining, but I didnt mean for it to sound that way. First off, all i meant was this....way too many TKAs (at least on Shadowfire where i am). And yes I agree not all of them are full TKAs, they may just have a few lines such as Meditation.
ANd someone said something about KD/Dizzy with Pikeman. I personally would like to have that happen to me. Im sick of it being the same profession that I and many others have to fight, a TKA. There have been a few pikemen running around on my server, but i'm fairly certain its due to holo-craze. Pikemen dont hit as fast as a TKA, and dont have the accuracy of them either. Fencer's can be brutal if played correctly, but i have no problem with them, I dont see many.
I am not saying CM is worthless, just kind of hindered because of the lack of originallity. Everyone runs the same profession templates. Its just boring. Boring as in seeing all people above a certain skill level using the exact same weapons, wearing the exact same composite armor. You can only see so much of it before it just doesnt seem as diverse as the Star Wars fantasy world is.
Basiclly saying, if I get killed in PvP 20 times, 19 out of those 20 are from a TKA. Not because I dont know how to fight them, its just thatsmostly who PvPs.
And as a side-note in PvP last night I was killed by a RIfleman, and I thanked him for not being a TKA and killing me. Then he turned around and started meditating, so I logged in disgust.
I know it was ignorant of me for posting in the O so holy TKA forums, and expect any TKAs to admit how strong they really are. Pretty much goes for any forum, except maybe for the Pikeman forum. In which case I used to be a Pikeman, and for PvP they always just have sucked for it.
