Ok,

Happy trails to you, untill we meet again. Happy trails, to you, some words, I don't know, happy trails to you.....

Ok, couple of questions for the community from a newb/master TkA.

Are there any numbers on the delays of the special moves? With my speed bonus, is my 1.5 speed VK any better then a 2.6 VK? Do the specials delay you enough to make a differance on the speed factor? Or is using straight unarmed the way to go? Thanks

look at your speed mods you get every +10 is -.1, so subtract that from your knucklers... UA is definately at the 1.0 cap, or so it seems

Actually, you have it HALF right. A +10 in UA speed is a 10% increase. However, a 20% decrease in attack delay is not the same as a 20% increase in attack speed.

Someone with +20 AU attack speed will NOT have a 2.0 attack speed reduced to 1.6. That would be a 25% increase in attack speed (you'll attack 5 times in the same time you attacked 4 before). A 2.0 speed VK would drop to something like 1.68, which would indeed be closer to a true 20% increase in attack speed.

Think of it this way-- you can get more than 100% speed increase at master TKM. If this meant a 100% reduction in attack delay, you'd attack infinitely faster, because you'd have NO delay. When you got over 100%, would you get negative delay? Like, you attacked someone and then they died in the past, since you're so quick?

I was bored a while ago and tested the delay of VKs vs. hands (and 2.2 delay VKs vs. 1.7 delay VKs). What I found was that once you get so far in the TKA tree, you will never hit an enemy more that 2 times for every 1 times he hits you (speed cap).

so allfights look somethinglike this -

a Rancor hits you for 204 damage

you hit a Rancor for 500 damage

you hit a Rancor for 468 damage

a Rancor hits you for 125 damage

you hit a Rancor for 512 damae

you hit a Rancor for 301 damage

a Rancor hits you for 174 damage

It was very disapointing to become a TKM and hitting the same speed that I did as a low level TKA (near novice). All of our unarmed speed mobs mean nothing, if we can easily hit the speed cap (it is the same way when I use my scout blaster). If anyone can hit a mob more than two times for every one time he hits you, please tell me how you do it or tell me what server you are on, because I want to see you in action ( LOL ).

That is because the attack speed of every mob in the game is 2.0. Since we attack at 1.0 at master, we hit them twice for every 1 time they hit us.
