A stand-alone TKM is becoming increasingly worthless in PvP, im talking ELITE PVP, not ganking a padawan who justunlocked or a Rifleman who just mastered and doesn't even have a stun rifle.

I have had 10+ fights now where it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO KILL MY FOE.

I use a 220mx dmg VK, w/a power up it goes to around 260.

If you are using this on melee its being mitigated, use a min dmg pu rather than a max dmg

I use the latest-greatest tactics, I always use, KD, Lunge, Warcry, Intim, UH3 and Mind hit. Id explain further but I dont have time to tell you my strategies.

You wrote this post, if your not successful its important to understand why rather than skip it

TKM is useless in higher-order PvP, allthat another playersneeds is

1- Doc buffs

Everyone has these and goes for every profession including TKM

2- 90% Kin Comp Armor

If it doesn't have stun as a special resist, this armor is worthless in PVP, if it does, this is beyond rare in terms of resists, extremely rare for 90% on every piece of a full suit ( more like impossible)

3- Canape-Ahrisa/KD food

If someone uses all 3 without synsthsteak then you should have zero problems

4- Dancer-Musician buffs **optional

If you want to talk about high end PVP then lose the "**optional", in any case again, this goes with every profession including TKM

5- Brandy

You can use this stuff too you know

6- Muon **for short fights

In high end PVP there is no short fights, this is a last ditch attempt ot save your mind pool, nothing more

7- PSG w/good kinetic res.

Just an FYI, PSG's are all vulnerable to Kinetic

With the things above, TKM cannot do any lasting damage. I dueled another TKM in Theed and after 15min we were both full HAM and unscathed. We would have had to fight until our doc buffs went in 3 hours, or till we wounded each other black.

Ive dueled other TKM's, if it took as long as you say it did, then everything listed in #3 above would have been negated, not to mention would have left your opponent with a full food bar

Same thing applies to rifleman, CMs, BHs, etc. They can brush off UH3 like its a joke.

Only if they can heal the damage, but for that matter why would you spam ua3 in High-end PVP, everyone knows its about the mind pool. And for the record, ranged attackers don't have melee mitigation or a toughness rating.

As for Jedi, once they get good Force healing or Force run, they can either kite us with saber throw or just heal off any damage we can do.

A jedi (presumably you are talking about knights) are using 250 skill points at their disposal, so why aren't you?

This is to dispell all the myths and stories out there about TKMs killing rifleman and stuff. Yes ive killed Rifleman but he didn't have full comp and he didn't have a stun rifle, and thats about the only kind of rifleman that ANY TKM can kill

Again, if you think by just being TKM alone you can win in PVP you are sadly mistaken. Just like if you think by being just a rifleman alone will win in PVP. Diversify your attacks and build up your tempalte around TKM, don't say that TKM can't win in PVP if that's all your going to use.

I'll say this over and over again

I dont care if your the Jackie Chan of TKMs, you CANNOT beat a well-trained Rifleman who knows what he is doing.

He hits your mind MUCH harder than we can, he can shrug off almost any and all damage, and even blinding, KD'ing, intimidating, warcrying, even stunning only delays the inevitable. The TKM will lose.

I will continue to say this until I see an instance IG or a screenshot of the combat log of a player defeating a rifleman

(who is prepared and experienced like most PvP'ers)

I killed a multitude of riflemen tonight, CM/riflemen to be exact, and I'm a TKM/doc, true they can hit mind at a silly rate, but they tend to find if hard to shoot back while lying dizzy/KD on the floor...
