Teras Kasi Artist is probably one of the nicest working professions in the game. First of all, its a profession where if you just dabble in it it can help you(like meditate or kd) and if you master and what to use TKA as your main fighting profession the master gives tremendous advantages +70 speed, etc... Its also certainly not overpowered. Let me give an example to explain why...

My friend and I are both Teras Kasi Masters, I'm TKM/MCH(Master Creature Handler), and for now he's just plain TKM. Some guy came over to us at dathomir, and said he could beat us both in a duel, a 2v1. We accepted, naturally, afterall-we're TKMs. Well, he was a fencer, and he had an incredible stun baton and resists against KD and Dizzy. I used my two best PvP cats, usually together they do blinding strike dizzyheavy poison and stun together(These are some of my best working pets but I can't command heavy poison, my razor cat has to "want too"). In this case only heavy poison stuck to him. I was wearing my stun resist armor which had a lot of encumbrance, and from trying to dizzy/kd my mind pool was shrinking, and I wasn't even affecting him.
The end of the story is this guy won.
So in short, Teras Kasi Artist is great because...
1) Dabblers get something out of it
2) Master yields advantages for non-dabblers
3) The best attacks can be prevented by the best defences
I'm not going to get into the issue of us only doing kinetic dmg(Gotta love the Tusken Observer, Tusken Executioner, Tusken Witch, Nightsister Elders and all other npcs that give good loots), but in most aspects TKA is probably the best-working profession in the game
BTW, My Kliknik Queen Harvester rare pet is suppossed to do mind poison and crippling strike, instead it doesn't do anything, ranged attack sometimes doesn't work, and if it does work(only worked once) it does health poison and posture down. Also, when I was covert and a guy was overt, he beat up my rancor and my rancor lost vitality(luckily I didn't use a good or rare pet) but still, I liked that rancor so maybe try to fix those bugs(Inbetween redoing Jedi and Nerfing CMs of course -roll-)

A TKA (the good ones, who know how to pvp and have stun comp armor) is easily able to beat fencers.

He was actually TKM/Master Fencer methinks, and no-I had comp stun armor(I just got it encumbrence sliced now tho, maybe I'd be able to beat him)- he couldn't be KD'd or Dizzy'd tho dude, so he had a huge advantage...

Rule of thumb is, if he is going fencer vs a TKA, my money is on the TKA. Is he goes TKA vs TKA, its who can wear off states fastest/best VK/Mind buffs.

Haven't lost a duel to a fencer since our server invented stun comp armor. I mean really, take away dodge, add the fact that you can apply intimidate, followed by stun, and then add blind you end up with a player with gimp damage that hits my healable pools and dodges every 5th attack. While I can juggle the knockdowns on him and be able to focus on his mind when states are applies and reapplied.
Face it, a good TKA cannot lose vs a Fencer.

It's occurances like these which make fencers think they're invulnerable and almighty which they are far from. Although i'm sure your not hardcore pvp'rs tka is nice for some mid to low end pve which makes it very viable for many peoples tastes. And the only duel i've lost to a fencer was one which a full assortment of dot knifes and master brawler which if you know is a really bad combo.. Still it was a close fight.

I have seen your posts with this same mantra...
what is your point exactly?
you want to be a master TKA, do the time.
you want someone here to grief our own profession....i think you are wasting your time.
you want to grief us...just say your piece and move on.
btw....I'm easy to find on Kett....work up a character and find me. Maybe I can learn something new.

I have been PvPing a lot with my TKA lately, Fencer vs TKA both players knowing how to use the professions I would put my money on the TKA every time. I have faced many Fencers and only been beaten once by them (Silly lag caused my heal not to fire in time), Fencers one advantage is stun currently and with decent Comp armor you are nuking the damage 75% for PvP reduction, 50% as stun baton is AP0 and comp is AP1, chuck 30% stun on the comp and a decent PSG (40%ish stun) and fencers do nothing to you add in intimidate on them and you drop it even more, stun was uber when there was not PSG's and Comp to fight it but now stun is weak for a fencer (Riflemen still have good stun as it attack mind the hardest pool to get healed and buffed).
As is with most PvP preperation is key. Fencer vs TKA, TKA has the advantage even with the 80%+ kenitic armor out there a TKA can still out damage a Fencer using stun because of the toughness, states, and DPS (targeted at one pool).
