Teras Kasi Archive

Greetings,

I did not select Teras Kasi Artist as my profession out of any desire initiated on my part. Rather, the Holocron told me to do it. That being said, in a way I'm glad I switched from Bounty Hunter. TKA is actually a lot of fun. I was able to kill four players in one minute (close quarter combat of course). We move fast as lightning

I have one problem though. When I am chasing players who are running (i.e. they are "kiting" me), I notice even with burstrun on, I am running faster than them, constantly at 1-3 meters away. I am spamming unarmed hit 2, but all I get is "target out of range". Why is it that I am constantly 1-3 meters away and am still getting an out of range message when the maximum range is 5m? Was it due to lag? Or is it very difficult to land a hit while both the target and the hunter are running?

Should I have been spamming unarmed lunge, instead? Please advise me!

Welcome to Teras Kasi...allowme to introduce you toyour new best friend, "target out of range"

Heres some advice you can actually use.

When your kiting a player in PvP, use unarmed lunge. This has a 15m range and will drop them to a knee, giving you enough time to get at least a couple hits in.

Hope that helps

I must say TOOR is the most annoying msg in tka profession next to YCMWR.

Thanks for the heads up, guys, I'll use unarmed lunge as an opening, followed by a quick dizzy.

The funny thing is, I don't mind getting TOOR, when I'm actually out of range, but when I was hitting with unarmed hit 2, I was consistently 1-3m away from my target. :/ But now I know what to do at least

When moving at run speed you can add or subtract about 5 meters to any range it seems. ONLY lunge becomes reliable at that speeds. But another thing to consider, unequip any VKs. The range of an unarmed hit is a bit longer than with the VKs it seems. I know I cant fight soem snakes and other critters with VKs. But I take them off and my normal strikes are then no longer out of range.

UnarmedLunge is definately your friend for a brief 'root' effect to the enemy. If you can follow it with a dizzy there is a chance to KD the opponent (or you could just dizzy/KD them outright while they are kneeled). I hae found that getting in front of a target as they run away, using BR if possible, will kill theTOOR messages. Of course this last won't always work as the enemy can BR too.
