after reading a lot on these forums i've seen that there a lot of pro and no minded people are ,
still i believe we should get a new weapon ,
not for beeing UBER , but for the fair playing in the game ,
i like PvP and PvE ,
so far i have no probs on the PvE terrain , can solo almost everything without probs and tank for hours,
but what i have noticed is that most PvP people now wear +85% kinetic resist armor , the question is how do you get those down ,
last week a friend (also tkm) and me duelled for und , just using unarmedhit3 , after 5min almost NOTHING happend ,
i am not saying that they should drop like fly's but hey give us a chance will ya ,
i am not asking for stun-vk's , but give us something decent , i got and +200dmg vk atm but for pvp i might as well trow it away
cause it is worthless,
i refuse to take up another prof just cause i want to PvP , but at least give us a chance
having that said i know i will get angry reply's , but hey i really don't care , why are other profs allowed to take a man down with 5strokes ,and can't we do it after 5minutes , not only the **** of PvP players running away al the time afraid that they might get hurt and get decay on the +200k armor ,
but if we catch up to them , then what?
just give us the bloody new knuckler , and we will keep quiet for a very long time , thnx

You forget: all the serious pvp'ers have sliced their composite for effectiveness, giving them just as much, or in some cases more, heat resists than kinetic. It will be a problem until the rebalances.

I've been a Master Commando since December, and pretty much all we deal is heat damage. Believe me, your new weapon will be a help, but many high-end creatures nowadays have heat resists. So yeah, you should get it.

I agree something has to be done for TKA. But I also say we should wait until the combat balances patch comes out. They may fix a lot of these problems. I think it would be fun if there was a different vk for each damage type. Why do ranged combatants get a wide selection of weapons the the TKA doesn't? Why can't we have shock gloves that deal electric damage, or a vk heat coill that could do heat damage. I just think we need weapon varietylike all the othercombat professions get.

I wish they would give us a damage type that isn't so common such as restraint or cold.. Seems like everything nowadays has high heat resists.

i'd be happy with any damage type other than kinetic. Just so i have some type of option in combat other than kinetic.

Well, if they've got anything over 80% resists to Kinetic, then they're wearing high-base, effectiveness sliced composite, and will have the same resist to EVERYTHING except Stun (low) and Electricity (always a special resist for Comp, I think).
So, there are other professions in the same boat as TK's - Swordsman, Carbineer, Commando, BHs (unless they can dabble in Pistoleer enough to get the stun pistol cert?). Pikemen all have DOT weapons, but will otherwise struggle to damage a well-armoured opponent.
So really, with armour the way it is right now, it just comes down to those profs who can do stun damage (and of course, those pesky CMs). Pretty messed up, but cross your fingers and hope something nice comes your way in the eagerly-awaited rebalance* 
*That's assuming you haven't already quit because the game's infested with Jedi hogging all the high-level PvE content and dealing instant death in PvP

The new weapon is HEAT damage and AP 1 right ? It would be the same thing as a VK. Every PvPer or the smart ones wear COMPOSITE. Most PvPcomposite will beatleast 80% to everything besides stun and electricity. So their might be a SLIGHT diffrence because the new weapon ( I dont know the name ) was something around 250 dmg unsliced.

I play a Master Commando and am almost Master TKA... and I can tell you the TKA is much stronger in PvE and PvP. Simply because of the defend abilities and the knockdown abilities... the TKA is un-matched.
Honestly... the profession that needs the most help is Commando... they get NO defenses... NONE.

Well after mastering Teras Kasi and Doctor about three months ago or so Ive found myself shying away from PVPmost of the timeas Ive found that since most pple wear High End Composite armor I usually end up standing on over my opponents as they lie on the ground laughing at me as Im using every attack i have only to be jumped by his buddies in a matter of seconds....I shouldnt have to pick up a fotm class, or drop Doctor (which I love as much as I do TKA) just so I can compete with the massin in their Comp armor....
It just seems that sinceevery other class has different dmg types shouldnt we at least get one more?I like most of you am not looking for a super stun VK or something similar, justSOMETHING else we can use if our targetshave high Kinetic resists...Hell just put take the current VK's and alter the dmg type, I dont need any more dmg, just another type...But maybe after the combat revamp, things will get better for us....hopefully...

To be perfectly honest, I see little point. For one, this weapon will pretty much be closed off to the population of TKM's who are not rich/are in the right guild/have the right friends/etc. Adding this to the fact that the drop will spawn so rarely...then considering that heat is not really THAT much different to kinetic...
I say, little point.
