I have only been doing TKA for about 3 weeks now and I'm already 3443. I have never died and have never been in any serious trouble, I dont even power game. Is it me or is it ez to level TKA. I don't use pets, however I have a set of 68% kinetic and I usually grab a doc buff and eat somemind food, I can solo almost anything on Dant. If i grab a master doc buff and then grab 2 piket missions which usually have 6-8 pikets per mission that pay roughly 3.5k per kill, plus another 4k for the lairI am netting about 40-45k exp per mission which gives about 90k exp each time i grab 2 missions, I can usually do 2 missions in 30 min which means I'm getting about 180k an hour, i usually play until my buffs run out, they can last up to 3 hours, so in one session of swg I am netting 540k exp. I usually can get 2 skill boxes each time I jump on, I have not even got incapped since I went TKA, easy huh?

I am a Master Doctor, so I always have some nice enhancements and I always keep a good supply of mind food. when Fighting animals that use melee damage our unarmed defense makes a very big difference when coupled with the 70% kinetic resist ubese I use. Though I have noticed on Lok the NPC's shooting at me are quite a challenge.On dantooine not much shoots at you, so your statement is true for that planet (on a side note I had a Dark jedi and a apprentice pop on me and my son in camp one time on Dantooine and needless to say they killed us fast). Fight NPC's that shoot if you want a challenge personally.


You say you have been at TKA 3 weeks and are not a power gamer. Well If you look at it quite a few Master elite classes can be mastered easily in that time. I would say TKA falls into the middle of the scale when it comes to the time involved with mastering the profession.

At this point any combat class can be mastered relatively easy due to the fact that mobs are in constant supply.



TKM took me 2 weeks of 1-2 hour/night gameplay to master.

You have a full set of buffs and high kinetic resist armor. Welcome to what makes the game easy. I'm of the opinion (and i know everyone is gonna hate this) that buffs need to get toned down. With some muon and a set of master doc buffs and spamming hit 2 there isnt a whole lot you cant kill. The ability to spam for the front loaded damage is what makes a lot of people think TKA is overpowered. With buffs its not front loaded, its PERPETUAL, and therein lies the problem

Yup, that's about the time it also took me to get to 4-4-4-4. 2 weeks and playing 1-2 hours per night.

Yeah its not TKA, its the buffs. They enable you to get a lot more XP than you should from creatures you probably shouldnt be fighting.


I like having my buffs for grinding the XP but really, the buffs could be toned down a bit.

I'll echo what the other players have said about buffs being the main issue here. I made master Fencer in 2 weeks of "casual" gaming (15 - 20or so hours a week). Master Swordsman is going to be even faster, as they have their direct damage skills and speed mods in the same tree.


I'm actually kinda concerned with the level of buffing available in this game. Fully buffed, I can get my special moves costs to trivial levels while using any weapon I want and any special I want. I'm talking UH3 in full composite costing a grand total of 2 points of mind - zero health or action. And that's without spices. It just seems a little unbalanced.

3 Weeks....

I got 3-3-4-4 in umm 2 days only played 5 hours






Thats just my point, People can do this in 2days? kinda makes it less appealing. Reminds me of when frogloks went live on EQ and people had level 65 Froggy Clerics a week later. I quit a few days after that....

i went from novice to master in 4 days playing like 3 to 4 hours a day.


no pets. I did have my combat xp maxed from my other proffession so that helped a bit.


But grinding the unarmed xp was easy... dathomir, get group that has ch pets, punch punch punch every single target... score like 8 unarmed hits then move on to the next, you dont have to kill it.


your group gets aggro form 3 kams (all go for pet), and you usually get all 3 kams getting shot at by different people. So if you punch all the kams about 8 to 10 times you get the 2 to 3k per kill at power 1 to 2, and 4 to 5k per kill at power3 to 4 boxes (always up power boxes first).


Wear ubese 50%+ kinetic... and your xp will fly.
