Thread: TKA now most common class
I polled my server and the most common classes came up like this
1. Pistoleer
2. TKA
3. BH
I picked up tka after the kd timer nerf, kind of just for the hellof it,when it was not considered a strong class by most, so I have been trying to figure out why everyone is in love with it all of a sudden.
I think it comes down to this:
1: KD/Dizzy attack
2: Ability to target mind pool
As a TKM for two mounths or so now i really don't think that the defence mods do much in pvp, unarmed toughess is great against another melee but normaly he's got the same thing so its a wash.
It's popular for the same reason Pistoleer is - it's bonuses/abilities complement other professions welland it's pre-reqs are shared with several other professions.
one more thing i'm tired of how people talk aboutTKM/master doctor like its some ultimate combination. The fact is anyone who's buffed is better than anyone whos not. A buddy of mine said it best about his group who runs around buffed and armored "we are set up to survive, we could fight you guys with scout blasters and we'd still win, eventualy"
The point is master doc and anything is strong since you would always be buffed, all TKM / Doctor does is protect you from the Group tef'ing melee guy that would two hit a ranged, used with no unarmed toughness, that sneaks up behind you and ganks you in the back
Only my opinion but, i think i'm at least as strong or stronger as a TKM / Master brawler, with food and spice hotkeyed,then a buffed doctor and much moredynamic. After all there mind is still un buffed with out a dancer, and medic skills can keep yourHealth and action bars upeven in heavy fire fights as long as no one goes after your mind
Your point is taken but also isn't a revelation. TKM/Doctor allows you to be buffed all the time. TKM/SomethingElse + finding a doctor allows you to be buffed all the time and will clearly be more powerful. That doesn't negate the value of TKM/Doctor because all of the others things that doctors can do. If you want to completely maximize your combat effectiveness this is not the route to take, it's just a fun combo.
However I think a TKM/DirtyFIghting/MPistoleer will destroy your master brawler template any day of the week so nyah 
No panic shot is nothing compared to warcry2 the only hope that combo has is either to have better armor then me, very possible
or, to kill me with last ditch durning the delay, but in my experience, one on one that is, i survive the delay or delay him first and win
however i do think that the smugler/tka/pistoleer is a more well rounded build then the master brawelr tka
This game can't be played without a tank, and we're (melee, not just TK) is it.
If you polled your server, and pistoleer came up as # 1, then why is TKA the most common class?
No my new Super Brawler template will be the most common class!
MTKA, Master Brawler and all the other defense lines in the other melee proffs.
+45 to dizzy and +65 to KD defenses.. ooo its the goodness.
