Teras Kasi Archive

Hi.

I have had this goal since the launch of the game, to become a Teras Kasi Master, and be THAT. I wanted to be a Teras Kasi Master/Nothing. So, after having just reached it, last night at around 12:30pm, after having spent about two months of semi casual gaming. (about 2 hours during the weekday, and 6 during the weekends) I have reached Teras Kasi Master. I then dropped everything else. Primarily to be a paragon of how we are not overpowered, and in fact we are underpowered.

Here's the deal.

Meditate: I can heal my own wounds, but not very quickly. No, not kidding, this takes me about 15-20 minutes of meditation if they are serious. When I had been a NOVICE MEDIC. I could heal them in about 3.

Balance: The defences suck. If I don't knock down something that cons white to me, stun and dizzy it, it will kill me. One hit usually. This might just be post patch, but never the less.

Power: Okay, this tree was the one thing that was balanced, except for most of the specials, except for dizzy, which are usless. This allowed me to deal tons of damage with my knucklers. As long as my opponent had light armor and less than 30% kinetic resists. any higher of either and my normal 1000 damage is reduced to a meager 300. So basically, we deal lots of damage, but only in good situations... remind me of D&D monks, throw in something with DR 20/+5 and you have a dead monk. (monks are unamred too)

Striking: This tree is borked. The defences are a joke. None ever work. I get knocked down more often than I knock down anyone. I get dizzied any time someone uses a dizzying attack. I have almost never been missed, or dodged a hit, yet have NPCs do exactly this to me infinitesimal times.

PVP: Okay, the only reason I EVER last more than 15 seconds in PVP is due to the fact that some people are used to my old 5m range, and thus allow me to get that close. Close enough to Lunge and then Knock Down.

Other Melees: Okay, we are definetly weaker than any Fencer. I have fought many fencers straight fencer vs. tka, no heals, etc. and have never one. Not even once. And this isn't from poor tactics. I have always struck first, and always find myself KDed and dizzied, then dead via various attacks, without ever landing a blow. Swordsman? Dang, they have Mind damage, Massive Armor Penatration, and Weapons that have often out damaged me, WHILE HITTING ONLY MIND. Them Underpowered? lol. Pikeman? yeah... sorry guys.. Devs hate you.

Well...

In conclusion, it's not TKA that is powerful, it's what is with it that makes it so mighty.

Please don't call nerf on me anymore, for I am, a true...

Teras Kasi Artist.

--Amrien Talfrey (Teras Kasi Master) -_-* "I suck"

YAY

A fellow true tka

Well I am a true melee at least

I admit to having some swordsmen to go along with my TKA So I am not as pure as you. Meaning Not a pure tka

Oh well does pure melee count? LOL
