Thread: TKA's WITHOUT Medic skills?
Who needsa medic? Just drop some drugs!
And what are you planning on fighting? TKA has unarmed knockdown and dizzy, what's going to be hitting you at all? Everythig you fight will be lying on the ground in a daze, thinking that 2000 health seems like a lot for a player...
If you want to be able to dish out lots of damage in different ways and manners...that's the price you pay, you can't take care of yourself if you yourself get hit.
Make the choice and don't look back.
A Teras Kasi Novice w/o medic skills? Unless you have a medic standing right beside you everywhere you go, then go ahead.
But, otherwise, maybe a Teras Kasi Master could go on w/o medic skills? Anyone ever try that?
I didn't pick up Medic until last week, i've been a Master for about a month now. I level everything without medic skills or a pet (i really hate pets) The only reason i picked up medic skills now is not for me, but because i want to be able to heal incapped players around me.
I had lots of down time, but for me it was worth it because i really earned the my title and i'm personally proud of it, even if no one else knows or cares.
Current death to kill ratio in pvp is 1 death for every 7 kills consistently.
Wouldn't look back.
I'm in the same boat as the original poster. I'd say go with it. I'm TKM, and 2/4/4/4 on smuggler and pistoleer. Its very easy to just bleed something, low blow it, then go beat the crap out of it with melee. I'd suggest armor though. If you can do your specials at the right time, and know when to switch from pistol to melee, you'll do fine without medic.
I sort of have the same dilema. Ive finaly made novice TKA and have been working on my scouting skills with hopes of becoming a ranger. If I follow the ranger path, Ill have to drop my medic skills currently 1/1/1/0. so that I can at least keep my beloved low level pets 1/1/0/0 ch. Either that or drop ch and have novice medic 1/0/0/0 (i dont think this is much help).
The way I see it with my medic skills Im really not that good a medic, so ranger has always remained as a good choice. My biggest concern is when I start going to the harder planets. Last night I went to endor and I really did not last much time alive (which I could have buffed myself). Truth I was not even novice TKA (dont know what I was thinking) and for some reason my traps were not working.
Medic buffs are of great help. So pair up with a master medic or doctor and he can do it for you. In my personal opinion being a low level novice medic is not of much help.
So my only dilema is whether droping my hopes of becomming a ranger and becomming a medic or doctor.
Right now I think I will stick with ranger. Ranger's should get some neat fixes on the big patch and perhaps this will compliment my TKA. If this does not work then Ill go for medic or doctor.
My advice try to do what is more fun for you. If you solo most of the time keep some medic skills on your way up to TKA, then drop them and hope the meditate line is enough to keep you alive. I hear meditate is about as good as a low level medic, so why use your remainning points on being a novice medic when you can have a pet.
Good luck with your decision. Could be wrong.
Tka without medic sounds suicidal to me, but in your case i'd sugest just backing off of pistoleer, get the techniques tree unlearn the bottom boxes they coast 5 skill points were the uper ones only cost 3 and 2.
You can drop medic all the way down to novice and be fine still 400 power stim b's is all you need, i'm only
1 0 0 0 medic and get 350-650 point heals with 365-444 power stim b's
Medic cuts down time and saves your but, but once you master tka and arn't gettting xp any more you can use it only after weakening the enemy with your pistol skills you'll be ok, but as long as you need unarmed xp at least keep novice medic
