Thread: responce to endless NERF TKA threads
I dropped a Marksman Rifle 4 guildmate
who wasn't wearing armor,
and was poisoned at the time,
because arachne warriors had just jumped her,
while she was fighting a Borgle,
and some boar wolves.
Okay, I'm not that bad at PvP (I really don't know) I dropped her because I can Rez, but I can't heal poison yet... It's a round about way to do it, but it works.
I think everyone with a little experience and brains know or atleast can figure out a TKA's weakness. I'm currently a "pure" (define) TKA (4443) and I don't win many PvP fights AT ALL. I guess or...hope I'll start winning some when I hit master but I don't know. Anyway back to topic, the thing I've noticed is that peopleseems to be in a"frenzied nerf TKA" mood not thinking that the players actually CAN have other professions to help them. NEWS: Yes its true! You CAN mix diffrent proffessions.
I read in another thread about some guys having mayor probs killing an TKA and that he missed 23 out of 24 shots that he shot at him and the combat logg said that the TKA was "centered". Last timed I checked our CoB was NOT working as "intended" (fencers etc) but still the TKA needs to be nerfed for it? If it indeed has been fixed, ignore this part 
Many people takes for granted that all moves a TKA uses are just that , TKA moves. Why? Dunno really. Because of the tag I would guess but it seems kinda silly. I've read on many places people that are whining about changing posture from 20m away, getting delayed for 20sec etc and they somehow ALWAYS end up thinking its TKA moves when it can be Master brawler ones, defence stackers or whatever. Heck I got killed by an novice marksman but you don't see me cry "nerf the marksmen!" 
Don't get me wrong though, we are not weak ora bad profession, we hold our own pretty good but damn we are NOT Gods just because we killed someone who knows nothing about PvP. Every profession has it's strengths and weaknesses, some in need of a boost though. My advice, STOP screaming nerf and try to get those professions fixed first. Screaming nerf at every profession that kills ya just won't do it.
I think the FOTM seems to be to scream "nerf TKA even if I don't know why".
(sorry if the spelling etc is bad, kinda late here :smileywink
OK first of all I relise that TKA does an insane amount of damage
Yes i had an above post that said I was sick of nerf criers but. after dueling my fencer friend today(who is a master by the way) and beating him.(I'm 2/3/3/3)
Now why should a mid level tka beata master fencer you ask? We shouldn't
TKA does to much damage. We can dish out almost more damage then a heavy swordsmen
I mean come on a unarmed man doing more damage then a man wielding a large sharp object?(yes I beat a master heavy swordsmen too the other day)(without KD/dizzy)
So yes TKA damage should maybe be toned down a bit I mean we do a insane amount of damage
and I apoligize for my ranting in the past
yes ok we have one type of damage
but does us being able to do a ton of damage really balance things out?
I really don't see how it does. Yes we only do one damage type but we can outdamage almost every profession in the game and we are the fastest hitting melee class on top of doing the highest damage
I'm a TKA so I am not a nerf crier like the others that come around here
I am just stating that for balance and pvps sake maybe we should get damage toned down a little
I mean we do get alot of that unarmed toughness and such so it wouldn't be too bad to have it toned down
In my opinion. TKAs should be the lowest damage dealing class out of all meleers. But still maintain our speed and melee toughness.

LoL
I agree with us being adequate but not GOD's
Just wear armour, and we have a problem.
I was hunting Janta's earlier today in hopes of finding some blood for my DOC friend, when I stumbled upon a specific Janta (Dont remember its name though). I KD'ed it and started hitting with unarmed 3 (I was Buffed at the time). Great was my shock when I discovered that no matter what I did I couldnt even scratch his surface. I examined him more closely and found out that he had 100% Kinetic resist ..... LoL He was wearing me down so I had to split.
I think its smart that we have some weaknesses. If we could use other damage types or equip AP weapons we would be too good.
just my 2 cents
