actualy, tka dont need a bleed shot but i was thinking a while ago of the same 'hit' you take as a bleed shot
my idea was to get a neck-hit that doesnt apply bleed but that makes the nerves stop working for a short period of time .. result? Finaly a good alternative to make gunners stop running for xx seconds.
The problem? neckhit/kd/dizzy would be 2 strong

didnt found any edit button :
they stop moving moving btw, you could make it a sort of leg hit instead of the neck-hit, anyways they cant run but get a temp damage / kd bonus or something

I think at Precision Striking III there should be an attack called "Throat Hit" (or something of the like). In many martial arts in the real world, shots to the neck are often employed. The effect is the closing of the trachea, or swelling to such an extent as to limit the amount of oxygen the opponent takes in. The effect this has is to limit oxygen to the brain. So throat hit would be a mind bleed.
Just a thought.
I like this idea. I think however the fix to keep it from becoming an issue which brings unwanted and unwelcome attention is to keep the duration and extent of damage during the DoT low. Lower than most mind bleeds such as those inflicted by a rifleman.
Having said this I believe the best and most logical bleed would be more along the lines of a stun which would be an action bleed. We would have a power strike that causes an enormous stun to the targets body causing a steady decrease in the action pool. Lower than that caused by a carbineer or pikeman but still significant in effect.

Jeez, can't there at least be one thing that tka DON'T have? I don't think a singleTKA in this forums cares a **edit** about balance between classes. Swordsman for instance get mind bleeds....but they DON'T get self buffs, force of will, ability to heal wounds disease poison, perfect accuracy, really fast speed, the ability to ignore dmg mitigation, ability to target any pool, kd/dizzy in one move, a huge base damage bonus, or the highest toughness of the brawlers.
There has to at least be a trade off when you ask for more things. TKA are already far above the other brawlers, and have a ton of tricks to use, yet these forums are full of people asking for MORE. The demands get more and more ridiculous too. I've seen people here ask for dual stun dmg VKS, force powers, the ability to do jedi bounties, mind bleeds, increased speed, etc. Can't you just sit back and enjoy being uber without asking for other classes unique abilities on top of your own?

I agree with DrPiezo. There is no reason to ask for anything more than we have. Perhaps there are some mobs/characters we cannot defeat, but we already have a wide range of abilities and we recover stupidly fast from death(gotta love meditate).I think thatthere is noneed for a DoT from the Teras Kasi profession.

ok.. let's just wait till the revamp comes out before we ask for anything. Let the other classes get fixed and on our level before we ask for more stuff. I realize that you just wanted to throw the idea out there but for now lets just sit back and chill. =)

I hope by now that the Devs realize we diserve a break from nerfs... or hopefully they are tired of messing with the profession and move on for awhile. As I said I just wanted to throw in what our DOT could be if it's ever implemented. What I would like more is different hand held weapons like VK's with different DMG types.... why couldn't a hand held small weapon do electric or stun damage... after all, in our far less advanced world of the real we have stun guns.
we have stun guns.

sounds good but the mind bleed is just going to cous a lot of trouble, a normal bleed would be much better

Hmmm. another idea is this...
On the power tree, combo 1 is pretty much useless for me. So take that away, leave combo 2 (rename it to combo 1... its just too pretty to ditch). Alright, in the free little space there, say around power II... "Dim Mak" or death touch... good old fashioned health bleed.
In case you havn't guessed I have a real interest in the real world martial arts, currently belted in five.
