The Profession Forums are a joke. Nothing but biased whiners who post more then they play the game.
I was Master TK and Master Fencer before the CU hit. I read this forum and all I heard was how bad TKM " sucked " after the CU, so I dropped it on my very first Respec without even trying it.
BIG MISTAKE ! Listening to you whiners has wasted three days of my Respec while I tried other totally inferrior professions. I have tried Master Commando, Master BH, Master Pistoleer, Master BH / Carbiner and any combination of those.
While trying all those Respec templates, I was playing with my real life best friend who kept Master Teras Kasi and Swordsman. The more I played alongside with him the more it became BLINDINLY APPARENT to me I was an IDIOT for droping TK and trying other things.
First off, and let me highlight this, TERAS KASI INATE ARMOR IS BETTER THEN THE BEST FREAKING " ASSAULT " ARMOR MONEY CAN BUY !!!!!! " He could fight off entire high level mobs wearing CLOTHES with no armor !! I was blown away. Then when I tried the same mobs, I was incapped or killed quickly. How can you guys whine about this ???
Also wounds. I must of fell and hit my head when I dropped Master TK in the Respec, because how could I forget how SWEET meditation is ?? In one three hour session I quickly racked up 500+ wounds and super high battle fatigue. My friend ofcourse, could remove his own wounds and keep his BF low. Meanwhile it took me almost an HOUR to find a doc that could heal my wounds, while my friend was having fun killing stuff. I think I litterally, pulled some of my hair out !
I figured okay, so its good for PVE, but surely my Master Bh, Master Marksman, and Master Pistoleer could kick his ass in PVP right ?? Wrong. He won FIVE duels in a row wearing no armor, while I was wearing the best Assault armor money can buy and using a 500 DPS pistol !! WTH !! ??? I was so pissed off.
Shame on you guys. I came to this forum seeking good advice from informed people. What I got was a bunch of misinformed whiners driving the Whaaaaaammmbulance. Sure Master TK is not good on its own anymore. Guese what !?! NO COMBAT PROFESSION IS GOOD BY ITSELF ANYMORE !!!
I will NEVER drop Master TK again. Not because im stubborn, not because im bitter, but because you are a MORON if you don't know this is the BEST combat profession in the game and its CRUCIAL to have it in your template. When you factor in the defenses, mediation, and the ability to NEVER need armor again.. Cmon its a hands down winner. What are you guys smoking ???
Yes yes I know. Offensively TK needs some work. There are some bug's etc etc. You don't think they are aware of that and are fixing it ??? I think they are.
Please, get off the forums and actually play the game. Good lord. Thanks for wasting three days of my Respec whiners.

yeah man see what you should have learned really quickly is most people are more upset about not being about to KD2 and spam uahit3 every second in a queue or losing the visual animations of TKA to actually learn how effective a near level 80 tka/anything is. Sure the straight profession lacks a little versatility as it stands, but simpley dabbling for a few additional damage special seems to take care of that very quickly.
We dont have a completely working profession, that is the only thing wrong with tka. But if you look at things on a broader scale, we are still better of than many other professions. My only problem now is keeping agro in a full group of CL 80. Even with Master doctors heals, sometimes it can be really difficult to hold agro. And that's really the only thing the TKAs are missing out on right now that they should have. It's a little useless to be a tank when you're the last member of your party to die all the time, because the mob was hitting everyone except you first.
There is going to be a certain nobility to being a TKA in the future. In group roles you will be the expendible one. You will be doing everything in your power if the group starts dropping like flys to lead mobs far away from the doctor of your group so that he will be able to ressurect your group and you can start again. It's not just beinga tank, it's being a profession where you become a defender of the weak.
Oh but you can't solo a Darth Vader anymore so instead of being constructive let's all just make another TKA sucks thread.

Before the CU, I had uber Knucklers, uber armor, uber buffs, uber mind buffs, uber food, uber buffed clothes, uber buffed backpack etc etc etc....
And I could tank a Krayt foreverbut never solo it because of the insane resists to Kinetic and 400K ham.
Lastnight wearing no knuckler, no armor, no buffs, no mind buffs, no food, no buffed clothes, no buffed backpack...
I must of soloe'd a DOZEN Krayts.
Yeah... TK really " sucks " huh ??

Well, in a CL80 group with my cl54 TKM/Master Dancer we took a trip down the DWB. In the end, with all others down I was fighting a CL81 SBD, and managed to kill it. I had ahealth buff from a crystal, but I was already wounded when the fight started from battling other mobs, and powerboost, which would have given me 500 more health was not working, so I would say I could have done it without the crystal buff. I used food (Synthsteak and brandy), a PSG and 250 instant stims, bare hands, and melee strike mainly.
So, I'd say anyone combining TKM with other professions like medic, swordsman/pikeman for more damage (you can do the specials from those unarmed as well) will do very well in PvE.

I admit, i also dropped TKM ... and have a master swords/pikeman/brawler now ....Why?
- As master of avoidence, nothing ever seems to miss me !!
- Powerboost is also not very usefull .... yeah it gives you 500 extra health .... but so what,1 bactashot heals me for 500 to ... or the newly crafted 1200+ stim D's ...
- Fighting npcs of my level (78/81) always instakill me (hehe .. in the rare occasion that i get incapped).... so why FoW (which is buggy anyway it seems) ... i'm never incapped longer then a zilli-second, before i wake up in the cloning
- Weapons ... completely useless due to low damage.... some see that bare-handed fighting is much cooler ....but i also like to use knucklers ... maybe the newly crafted VK's will do better damage, it seems that everything that got converted from pre-cu is less then mediocre.
- Meditate for wounds .... i played 16 hours straight yesterday .... been to dwb, lord nyax, killed 100(no exageration) Black suns. died 4 times cos of an albatros
.. and i think i've visisted about every poi in game, to check out the levels (tip: Orphaned marauder cave is good, all level 77/81 mobs) ... in the end i had 400 wounds ....but i admit, it was hard finding a doctor to help me
Suggestions:
- As a master of avoidence, i wanna see at least 6 or 7 times out of 10 that a creature misses me.
- Meditate should also get rid of BF ....isn't meditation the ultimate way of relaxing ??
- Let powerboost also affect action regen. a 10% regen bonus ...
- Make the weapons more viable
- Fix FoW ... and give us at least 3 seconds time to use it after incap
- PLEASE ... give us nice animations ....
I have been a tkm forever ... my first mastered prof, and i'll prob go back to it after the 2 weeks of respeccing are over, and i really hope they have fixed these issues then.
I don't want to trash TKM at all, i'm just stating my findings.
My 2 cents ...

My best friend I was talking about also has a Master Weaponsmith alt account. The new Blast Knuclers use power handlers. Power handlers can be enhanced with Krayt tissue. We took some of the good Krayt tissue we looted and he made some bad ass power handlers and crafted the new Blaster Knucklers.
I can't remember their stats off hand, but let me just say this, when they fix the unarmed damage bug with Knuclers... well, these babies are going to make Master TK the Flavor Of The Month !!

I have advice for you--if you believe reading the forums is a waste time, then stop reading them and save us the time of having to read your BS rant.

Your right. My opinions and observations based on real gameplay experience is a BS rant.

StabMastah, Kraytes are broken atm. If you haven't figured THAT out then you're not paying attention.
But the original poster is here WHINING about blindly listening to people he doesn't even know???? That's rich! Uhhh dude, you only have YOURSELF to blame for 'wasting' 3 whole days. If we all told you to walk out into freeway traffic would you do it also?

Yes ofcourse I know Krayts are broken lol. It still feels damn GOOD killing them Actually I don't think they are " broke n ", I think they did it on purpose to shut the Jedi up so they coudl get their own Pearls .. but whatever thats a different topic.
Actually I don't think they are " broke n ", I think they did it on purpose to shut the Jedi up so they coudl get their own Pearls .. but whatever thats a different topic.Im not whining about " blindly " listening to people. But people who post on a Profession forum should be knowledgable and have experience in what they post about. Its very obvious to me 75-80% of the people who post here are clearly NOT representing the majority of Teras Kasi Masters in the game. To be blunt, they are an enbarrasment to the profession.
Don't get an attitude with me anyway man. Something is wrong with someone in the head if they actually want to play Dancer in the game. Your the guy whos pissed because you can't take your Master TK / Master Dancer pre-CU and magically Respec it into a double Elite combat profession post-CU template.
If I got what I deserve for listening to people I didnt know on this forum, thats fair, I can deal with that. But you also got what you had coming to you too.
