Gotta admit, I'm tempted.

Let me see if I've got this right:

1. Without armor, doc-buffed TKM can use specials like UH 3 more, but can get killed quicker.

2. With 90% armor, TKM can only use maybe one special like UH 3, but is a whole lot harder to kill.

Which is best for PvE, PvP? Is there a happy medium?

For PVE I use a suit of mostly encumberance sliced 70% kinetic resist Advanced ubese
For PVP I wear Adv Composite Helmet, Chest, Legs, and boots. All pieces encumberance sliced and about 68% resist except for the helmet which is sliced to 80% effectiveness. My stats are migrated so that I can put it all on without buffs.

I have pvp'd at Theed Starport with just a helmet and got multiple kills with no deaths and one incap but whatever you do don't use a blaster to draw attention to yourself. This sort of thing only works in a crowd situation. But at the very minimum you should wear a helmet to help protect against eye-shot spamming bounty hunters.

What I really want to know is how using 87-90% armor affects special usage. I'm guessing that you can still use 1 special per fight, but that would be it.

Depends on your stats and the buff and what food you eat and the enc of the armor. I wear adv cmoposite helmet, chest, pants and biceps when fighting Tuskin Captains and Warlords, and most NPC mobs on Lok, Dath, Dat and Endor.

And have to use specials a lot. Usually UA2 and bodyhit and sometimes leghit. W/o DOC buffs, just food and spice, I can get through a mix of snipers, raiders, captain and warlord to a total of 5 per group with a max of 2 warlords.W/ DOC buffs, who knows.

Well I use a full suit of 60% encum sliced composite that I can wear w/o buffs. However, in PvP I always get buffs, and even with the full suit on, I can spam all I want. Perhaps this is because I always use some fisnak and muon? But the armor really helps me out, especially if I get knockdown, I barely take any damage.

Such is the case as I was fight another TKM, who also had master brawler. He would warcry, knock me down, and start wailing on me. I would just do /stand, pop on a stim, and procede to warcry him and knock him down and kill him with 3 unarmed hit 3s.
