Thread: Input from a Master
Hey! I'm a TKM on Bria named Drognan and just wanted to throw in my opinion. Knockdown cost is being raised for everybody right? Luckily we can unequip the vks and use less than 1/3 of the HAM. They're gonna have to let us do knockdown even with the high cost of vk's, otherwise that'll raise some real hell. And the drastic reduction from vk to bare handed should keep us as the number one knockdown champ!
In any case, I'm not very interested in hitting the heated debate and having a lot of people start yelling at me, I just wanted to point out some things I found that you might have not. I thought it was really cool when you open the combat window and all the Teras Kasi moves come up with special names. Like Knockdown is Sleeping Krayt and Unarmed Hit 3 is Spitting Rawl. I thought Spitting Rawl was a pretty cheesey name for such a powerful move, but whatever! Oh and in my pvp experiments, I can take a lot of melee damage. I'm also Master Brawler and Master CH and maybe brawler helps out some. But the damage i receive from a master swordsman's mind hit doesnt ko me even though i only have 700 mind. And she usually will fall from my Spitting Rawl or at least a few swings afterwards. Anybody have input on my high defense? I went toe to toe with one of my apprentices with no moves, he had a knuckler on and i didnt, and he used berserk and I didnt. I thought that woulda given him some sort of an advantage but Slip was on the ground in no time and I still had half hams. Any other TKM/Master Brawlers that have this cool stuff going on?
And umm, I'm not sure of the max distance yet, but I've gotten unarmed lunge 2 (Raging Bantha,I think) to kd from 10m away. It does like 3 damage but the follow up of Spitting Rawl usually makes up for that with over a thousand. Regular knockdown wouldn't hit past 5m. And that's with the knuckler off of course.
Unarmedlunge2 has a range of 15 m bare handed. Tested it extensively on fleeing mobs and kiting mobs like Dralls. I never bother using it with VK on so don't ask me but I would assume it would bring it down to the standard 5-6 m VK range.
It's a great move and one of the principle reasons I hold onto Master Brawler even though I am now 'finished' with my character. I like my end setup and would have to drop skills to start growing into other areas.
Nothing funnier than chasing a kiting mob, closing to 15 m and knocking them flat on theirbutt!
How did you master all three? Thats like 262 points to get all three of those...
77 Master Brawler
63 Teras Kasi (minus the unarmed gained from Master Brawler)
122 CH
262
Thats everything including trees required to get to the master profession
I thought we only get 250 points to distribute. That would be awesome if you were able to master all three. Congradualtion on your achievements. Thats awesome. I think I am still grinding away at the 60000 combat xp required for sword defence. lol
I think TKM have the highest statistical defense. Probably why you can now survive such a blow. But i don't know. Don't flame me.

Hey,
a spitting rawl is a particularly nasty type of snake that lives on Naboo, they got a bit over 4k HAM, and as the name says, spits venom at you. To have any move named after as nasty a critter as that is pretty cool imo.
