I'm TKM, decided to go for M Brawler and M Rifleman, with novice medic for self heals.
HAMs are currently: 900/550/450 800/500/500 650/475/475 (from memory, but it's close.) Definitely need more mind. Just looking for a little guidance from more experienced TKMs as to what I should do. I mistly PvE but would like to PvP some, too.
With secondaries, is itbetter to regen faster or have your specials cost less?

definitely need to get focus up...special cost is what can kill you as a TKM...I use ahrisa just because of that. Most hunting usually happens while buffed, so getting your mind up is probably the best idea. Also I think after they nerf doc buffs for the Combat minibalance powerboost may become very powerful so getting mind upto 1000 would be smart.

Ahrisa helps true, but if you're grinding your mind will be whittled away slowly and take forever to recharge unless your willpower is good too. I recently switched from ahrisa to brandy (hard decision to make because brandy is so filling and I also use accaragm) and it works better over a long period of time.
More than anything, you have to max mind. If you have powerboost and your mind stat isn't up to your species max you're wasting points big time.
Look at it this way... With powerboost right now, your pools would be 1225H/1125A/975M. Were you to simply take 200 points out of health and 100 out of action and put them into mind (making the base pools 700H/700A/950M which probably isn't even maxing your mind for your species), your pools would powerboost up to 1175H/1175A/1425. Health would only be down 50 points, while action is up 50 points and mind is up a whopping 450 points. Since powerboost can be used over and over without restriction and costs nothing to do it would be crazy not to take advantage of it.

my ham is 900/900/900 with 400 on my secondaries pretty mutch. but i am zabrak so i have a 700 focus i think. with that when I power boost i add 450 to my HAM. I also take 2 arisha for mind regen 2 brandy for the buff and 1 synthsteak. all the food last from 30-40 minutes so you are good there. Also if you duel unbuffed I found that not using VKs is the best. Let your opponent worry about ham cost as he spams, with no VKs my ham cost is next to nothing. But since you probably will pvp buffed anyways just find a stat migration you like. I've had 8 migrations and really like the way I have it now. But if you are a medic in anyway lower you regen secondaries in action and health and pump it into your mind. since you can heal rather then regen. just my 2 cents on what works for me.
