hi,


im a TKM, master sword, pike 0440, master brawler.....i love to fight unarmed, but im running out of ACTION bar in about 4-5 hits. please help! as i get "too tired" before i can kill 1 enemy!!


**my BF is always low (<50), and ive tried using good canape and brandy. i wear NO armour and fight in a skinsuit with a non-armour belt. i also have NOTused a VK yet.


i have my auto attack onRAPID HIT(or quick hit/strike, dont remember the exact name), and i tried it on IMPALE, but i couldnt tell if that used a lot of ACTION :/ i think ive figured out that MELEE ASSULT takes a ton of ACTION, and CRITICAL HIT takes alot too (somone plz confirm). i also use defensive skills like REPOSTE and CENTER OF BEING quite a bit.


soooooooo...

1. how do i tell how much damage and action each skill does? (i cant figure it out from watching my/opponent's acion/health)

2. am i using the "wrong" skills?

3. is my stratagy wrong?


any help or sugestions will be awsome



****please be respectful of everyone who replies! also, please dont reply with "switch to BH cuz TKM sucks now that i can't solo Darth Vader"


thanks in advance everyone.

I use basic Melee Hit for my auto-attack, anything else just burns action too fast. I need strategy in my use of specials nowadays...I tap 'em with Bleed and Advanced Armor Break to DoT 'em and lower their defenses, lay in a combo and a Power Strike (that one's from Swordsman) to get 'em laid out quicker, sometimes a leg sweep or a dizzy or stun, sparingly with an eye on the action bar. Also certain foods--just got introduced to Teltier Noodles, the ones I got have +100 to Action regeneration over an hour's period, helps a heckuva lot--and spices pay to use, we're not in a 'Brandy, Ahrisa, and Canape, maybe a Vercupti and a pixie are all you need' world anymore.

Honestly, I'm getting to the point after much practice where I can take down something pretty quickly, and never see the 'Too tired' message

I turn off my auto attack, so I can moniter and control how much action I use. Rem auto will allways try to hit next, I perfer lots more control, if I need to stand still for a few seconds to recharge action I can.
