Teras Kasi Archive

Im a teras kasi master on kett, Chro is my name.
Yes we TKA have gotten beat with the nerf stick pretty hard this time. I usually keep quite and keep playing but this is to much.
Knockdown wasnt just an attack it was our defence as well. Now i hear that the HAM is bugged but still, even if you increase it to 200 (with VK's on) your hurting us to much. We dont get any extra armor or extra HAM, we cant use armor (we can but we kill ourselfs faster), have no chance at running away and still not enough of a reward if we live throu it.
Now that novice CH has been nerfed we loose are meat shield. Even in a group of 20 people attacking a tusken king (for instance) we get killed first. and for what? nothing. We have no dodge, counter attack or block.(but ranged does for some dam reason) I dont want those either. We have more defence than other classes but that doesnt help at all, its not enough to save us. We get picked off by range so quickly its not even funny. Power boost is a joke and unarmed combo completely sucks damage wise, so what if we damage all the pools. whats the use if we can do signifacant damage. Weapon classes can attack as fast as us and do alot more damage at that.
What do we need? i truly cant answer that without being impartial. I say give us +20 more range/melee d. Give us a natrual armor rating of 1 or 2(yea im crazy) at teras kasi master or meditation master (makes the tree worth getting first) Make it so we have no min speed, if we get faster so be it, give us a friggen edge in at least one catigory.

That leads me to my next question, With all the teras kasi masters leaving and most novices quitting.

Sony i though you liked making money?

Hes right this whole patch was a dedication to people that never make it past Marksman\brawler etc complaining why Elite\Hybrid masters Own them. A huge loss of gameplay value

bump because no one has listed reasons why we suck, only just plainly said we suck.

All melee share one thing in common, well a few things.

1) Over priced HAM costs for special moves, under the supposition that they are powerful at close ranged and thus need a trade off for this power.

2) Inherint disadvantage to ranged fighters, again under the supposition that melee are powerful at close range and thus need a trade off for this power.

3) Dev's flat out comming out and saying "don't bring a knife to a gunfight". This isa slap in the face, and pretty much means that any issues we might have will indeed take a back seat to other professions, as we are merely fluff for those who like fluff. Overall, a lack of commitment to our issues (this might be a little harsh).

All in all, there is no trade off, as we have little power, at least from a TKA standpoint. Our moves are pitiful even in comparison to other melee, and that being said, the other melee think we are some kind of primodonnas and get all the attention. Overall tho, all melee are equally screwed. Oh, and to some, KD used to be the bread and butter, but now its just burnt toast.

I like money too.

Thank you nenjah. Your 100% right and I could not of said better.

Being that I am only training the expert TK skills I and players like me have been screws royal and now my enjoyment of SWG seems like it may be lost for good. =(
