Thread: Advice Needed: What box should i take now?
FYI, im commando 1/4/4/0, TKA 0/1/1/0 andsmuggler 0/4/1/0.
Aiming for tka 4/4/4/0 (perhaps master but i dont know yet).
Being commando, I flame a target and punch it as it goes down, always get about 3.5k xp per kill (kamurity,baz).
At this point in time, i dont know what would be better to get.
Power2 box or balance conditioning 2 box. One gives me the +15 unarmed toughness (which thanks to the last patch, my armor is no more and im wearing cheapo mabari for the light armor rating only... so taking less damage would be really nice) and the other box gives me +15 unarmed damage, +15 speed and unarmed combo attack.
Suggestions?
If your just going to flame burn it then it doesnt matter really, If you were going TK only with no prior wep background then pwr first is the general consensus.
Yes, however, this is my problem:
Using flame means the target drops faster. But the target still hits me for about 10 seconds. I usually end up with 30% life when fighting things like baz and kamuriths.
If I take the unarmed toughness, i HOPE (i dont really know how much it will reduce my damage) that i would end up with 50% life...which is a much higher margin of safety, especially if the flame misses or i get a second aggro or the armor hole bug runs up my anus.
If i take the power2 box, i would be dealing more damage, faster to the target im punching.. reducing the time it can hit me back from 10 seconds to perhaps 6 or 7?
Ideally im trying to kill the things as pure tkasi, but at such low level in tka even a baz will bite my head off.
Go for powerboost ASAP. When you get there, you can monkey around with your stats a LOT depending on your race. As a human, I used to have 900/400/400, 900/400/400,1000/500/500. After getting powerboost, I juggled it around to 800/400/400,800/400/400,1100/500/600. Aftera powerboost, that leaves 1350/400/400,1350/400/400,1650/500/600. This should give you MORE than enough margin of safety.
The extra points you can shift into willpower will also help mind recover faster, meaning you can stim a lot more often if you need to w/o running out of mind.
