Is there any? I have a friend that want's to be a TKM, but he also wants to be a wookie, will that cripple him in any way?

If it matters, he'll probably always be backed by Master Doc with full buffing and healing at his disposal.

he'll probably be fine in PvE. and for PvP a wookiee will always be a wookiee so i don't think being a TK will hurt a wookiee any more than it would hurt anyone else.

i'm not a wookiee but i don't wear armor (except perhaps when i'm being the bait for a group vs krayt-type animals). i DO use doctor buffs, though. the only thing that EVER drops me (aside from dropping myself due to PB coming off at the wrong time) is mind (hey that does include PB dropping me, doesn't it?).

i haven't yet found a helmet that protects mind more than it hurts--when i do, i'll wear one, but i won't bother with the other stuff until some changes are made in game mechanics.

Yea, wookie got it pretty bad. However, i do have some faith in dev to make wookie work. We're suppose to have super regenerative abilities, so maybe we'll get that sometime in the future. Wookie roar right now is good i guess, but the temp mind buff is a joke. One day i guess one day.

In my opinion since stat migration was changed for Humans, they make the best of any class in the game. They can migrate all 9 stats between 400 and 1100.


If you're not interested in roleplay but pure flexibility and utility, Human in the way to go.

Personally I have only just started using armour, and usually just use it to close the distance, then usually take it off again. At moment just chest plate and helmet, and so far it has basically been useless, cut down maybe 1 in 10 shots damage. Guess will have to buy the rest of the armour and see if that helps any.


Because it lowers you secondary stat values, high encumberance can increase the costs of special moves, plus it will reduce your regeneration rates on your hams.


I still prefer using just a shield generator, but they seem to still be bugged (protection changes randomly) and they wear out very fast now, Got through a mk III in 3 hrs. But as they have zero encumberance they can be worth it in some situations.

I noticed this after the last monthly update, thought it may be a bug as it was never possible before. I always had willpower and focus maxed at 600 for a human, but now you can nearly double it and all other secondary stats, just seems strange that they would change the character stats after release to this extreme.

Being a wookie kinda sucsk, less bio made clothing, less clothing for skill attachments, and with no helmet eyeshot will WIPE YOUR ASS, you can't use any special items either basicly, no marine back pack or maurader armor

as a wookie I personally think that well, we are crapped on, eyeshot wastes us like yesterdays nothing, our extra points CERTINALY do not make up for 81% advanced 3 platter composite....... wookies heh, transodorian is the best race probably, more stats, and only missing 2 pieces of armor.....

any ways wookies are still cool just they are reathere nerfed because pre composite and all attachments and bio clothing wookies kicked ass to much, as I understand, what ever, it sucks to be a wookie for a large part of the game, I mean you don't get crap, your left out on tons of stuff, probably can't be a Jedi, its a wonder you can participate in faction story lines for points the way they can't do any thing else
