From your experiences, how should I set up for combat. Ijust made Master TKA (I love this profession) so plz only Masters post since they have all the skills I do. Please keep in mind, I do not have pets nor ever wish to utilize pets. Thank you.

What I am asking :

1) Is there a Macro I should set up and use just after I engage in combat? ie. /CenterOfBeing;/warcry1;/intimidate1; ect, ect

2) What order should my specials be cued in?

ie. /UnarmedKnockDown, /unarmedDizzy1, /unarmedHit3, /unarmedHit3, ect, ect

3) Will one tactic work for all situations? (I only engage PvE so no need for PvP tactics )

ie. NPC's, Multiple NPC's, Creatures, Multiple Creatures

4) Senario: I have 3 Bad Arse NPC's suurrounding me, Is there a way to Knockdown all of them and Dizzy all of them, and them damage all of them at once?

Any other suggestions as for tactics from Masters would be greatly appreciated Have fun all

Scenario 4) Go Pikeman.

I am sure I have seen Master TKA's doing senario 4...any ideas?

best you can get in TKA for area attacks is unarmed spin, which just dammages the targets. Only pikeman has a area KD i belive (polearm Swing 2?)

i'm a tka master...i keep it simple:get your stats migrated correctly byexperimenting with knockdown2/spamming unarmed3...after that use your specials as much as possible on em...no macro,no pet,no problem...

the only macro I'm using is:

/attack; /pause 1; /follow

and that's just because I sometimes get sick of trying to hunt down runners in hilly areas, where my camera can get all confused.

if I'm hunting, I do add a macro for tapping lairs:

/attack; /pause 1; /peace

but that's for ANY character, with ANY weapon.

So no need to use specials at all?

i find that if i dont use speicals at all i can kill anything. at master you can out tank anything. i tested it last night went up aginst some bol thing on dantooine. it had armor medium and a 70% knetic resist. i put my comp armor on and equiped my VKs started off spaming speicals found that i was not doing any real damage, to it only to myself. so i backed off. next i went in and stood there not doing anything but auto attack. it took 5 min to kill the thing but i was able to sit it out. kind of cool i want to try this on somethink a little harder (krayt) but i need to get some good adv. ubese that is not around right now on my server.

I made a macro that i use fairly frequently, its a good opener, just saves me a keystroke,

/unarmedknockdown; /unarmedhit3;

If you're fighting humanoid NPCs that are tougher than average, open with unarmedknockdown2 for the added dizzy. Easiest way to lay out Mauler Masters as well as Lok mercenaries/pirates. Typically i unequip my knuckler for the KD/hit3 since it costs quite a bit of action and i never use buffs. Also, if a quick death for whatever you're fighting is necessary, i usually dont bother with my knucklers. With 600 quickness its only 50 or so action per hit3 so i knockdown and use hit3 repeatedly. Same speed as knucklers with about 2.7x the damage output. Not reccomended for when you're surrounded though.
