In PvE swordsmen totally own us with there blast damage while we only have kenetic,

In PvE and PvP pikemen are better because in PvE they have the spins and the damage and in PvP they have those evil DOTs,

In PvE we manage to get an upperhand vs fencer but in PvP they just leave us in the dust.


Now lets see some stuff that we have over them.... Meditate- useful but doctor can do the same thing, Powerboost- good but not great, and lastly we get unarmed toughness which is great; if u fight unarmored....

fencer haven't owned TK in PvP since they fixed the scatter shiak.....and try to play a pikeman without speedtapes...you'll talk differently...


TK is one of the best working profs in the game as far as I'm concerned

Does this mean that Pikeman with Melee Speed (which isn't worth the bother with TKA) is going to be seen a lot?

you can slap a fencer silly after you apply all states to him....if you notice lunge/KD doesnt't work, stop waisting combat turns on trying and just work him down....


only fencers with at least a 350 max stunbaton should pose any treat to a TKM in the current situation.

I tried all of the melee profs on TC-Ahazi and i think TKM is the best, i thought that pikeman and swordsman were to slow, (could be because my only combat prof on farstar has been tkm so i have always attacked fast) and fencer didnt seem to do as much damage as the others however had good defence mods. TKMs also get meditate so we dont have to find docs to heal our wounds, so after trying every combat proffession i found myself back at TKM because i thing its the best of them all.

oh i guess your right i tried playing all the melee profs on my freinds accounts and yes i see that at least TK works. I feel terrible for fencer there good- but onyl as a secondary for state defences, swords are cool but yes they untolarably slow tho blast dmg is nice, and pikes well they just miss so much i just couldnt take it. So my bad, you guys are right i guess i'll be staying with TK

To answer the question that is the title of this thread... Yes, pretty much.

However, it also means that we don't suck at anything.

Teras Kasi is raw power, you decide what to make of it....


You can go around humiliating Jedi Knights and Fencers, or you can try to figure out if theres any other attack besides UA3

Without putting effort in creds into pike/swords TKM is the boss of them.


I am TKM/Mswords (formerly MPike) and can vouch for the difference.


Of course blast is a nice damage type to have, (elctricity is _ok_) but kinetic is still better on lairs.


Once Swords/pike get speed (From tapes/mbrawler/or the FS tree) they will start to outdamage TK in kinetic.Because of this, in my opinion, TK is a great prof for anybody but is really fantastic for a newer/poor character or somebody with only enough skillpoints to get 1 combat class.



Of course meditate is the bomb also ;P
