Thread: me and other tka's having fun playing the game, it is possible.
I have never had knockdown but I did have beserk before the nerf. I chose Power 1 instead of kd for my first tree in tka. I am also 4/4/4/0 in medic just from healing myself and in groups and working on pistol for smuggler.
That said, I also am having a blast. Leading groups on LOK for missions, made over 100k this weekend. Enough to get some nice knucklers, some pvp armor and alot of stim c's and a few non-ch pets. Exp wasnt so great but I was having fun.
Then the overt night on sunday. First two attempts to run to the event I was killed by a single pistol person.
PvP is all about life and death so this didnt discourage me. 40 rebels overwhelmed the town, took about 30 minutes for us imp to regroup and start fighting back taking them off one by one.
At one point it was 30 rebels vs 14 imps. I was walking on the battle scene. Oh **edit**, what should I do?
I quickly scanned the targets with tab, I didnt rush head long into battle.
I found a weak target, he is mine! I taret them, run in. Forget knockdown, two hard hitting specials on a rifle wielder 600+ damage, /deathblow, run out.
Took about 5 seconds and the person was dead right under the rebels nose. With so much going on nobody noticed or had enough time to switch targets and find me. I ran back to the main imp squad. Searched for another target, bam they are dead. Did this about 3 times before I died.
Smart PvP is possible as a TKA. I also so some rebel TKA's in battle to. They were very good and I learned by watching the. I saw a rebel tka take out two imps before they knew it. He even trained me in my skill since he was the ojnly tka around.
One on one combat or worse odds, time to burst run and fight another day.
Even or group combat, choose targets carefully. I am a medic/tka so I'm biased since I can survive in battle than those who arent. But it can be done. Not all hope is lost.

I have a big problem with this part of your post.
Smart PvP is not possible, the only way a TKA or any melee class wins in PvP, is dumb PvP on the other persons part. We can not close the distance and can not attack over 15m. If the person you are fighting is a complete idiot moron, you we crush them easy. If they are as smart as glue, they will crush you period. <shurgs>
Until they fix the kiting problem, all melee clases are just a minor distraction for the ranged combatants.
Oh I'm a Master Doctor/Master TKA and have physical stats of 1500+ and still doesn't matter except I die in minutes not seconds, if you can't get into melee range you can't fight period.... EXCEPT once every 5 minutes I kill someone wil burst speed YAY!

Hehe, very well said and 100% accurate. In the thick of a battle we can take advantage of the general chaos and usually close into melee distance. I was able to kill 5 rebels invading Theed the other night no problem due to this. This is lack of strategy on the attackers part, not any insightful tactics of my own. Hell I was standing there in the middle of the fray and someRebel wielding a pistolRAN UP to me without even firing along the way. I had a feeling he was going to try and pistol whip me, but I was the faster of the two I suppose. As soon as he was in the 6m range,I nailed him with a knockdown, re-equipped my knuckles and made short work of him using UA Hit 3.
