I want to take some TK skills for my character, mainly the Meditation line. There is a new(ish) guide up which I read here but decided to post my Questions in this forum as I will reach a larger variety of players who might be able to answer my queries.
I recently had a friendly duel with a TKM in which I managed to Dizzy/KD him first but the dizzy seemed to wear off really quick and he was up long before I expected, then he handed me my ***
How did he do that? Was that Meditation or a meditation ability like Focus of Will? or just his Combat Equilibrium made made it wear off faster?
In the guide, mentioned above, it suggests that at Melee Damage Mitigation2 you can start thinking about dropping your armour. Well I have MDM2 and fighting white's (3000xp solo) will mean I will need to heal to survive, armoured I can take 2 at once. Are there different levels of MDM for the different professions? ie MDM2 for a TK is better than that of a Fencer? I see a lot of TK experts and Masters walking about unarmoured, ok so I do this when in cities but they never seem to armour up for duels either or when hunting. Is hunting/fight unarmoured really an option for TK's with on MDM2?
Also mentions using BE Clothing, of which I already have some, do these items stack if they offer the same ability? Would Bleeding Defence 15 on 2 worn items give Bleeding Defence of 30 (I would doubt it but I thought I should check)
I have Pants that give Bleeding Defence 15, Shirt that gives +15 Intimidate and Warcry and bandolier that gives Combat Defence 4 and Stun 15. Are there any other effects I should look out for?
The TK class does seem to be leaps ahead of other melee classes. At least it does looking at my own. I've been hunting with a TK Novice 0,1,0,0 and, with no specials, she outdamages me. My Gaffi has much higher Min/Max damage than her VK yet she hits harder (low 200's to low 500's) than I do (low 200's to low 400's) and is nearly 1/2 a second faster. That just doesn't seem right to me. I don't want to see them nerf the TK as they could end up breaking the class like they did with the EQ Monk but I really think they need to look at the balance between the melee classes. Being outdamaged by a TK Master or Expert I can handle, being outdamaged by a TK Novice who only has one skill is a bit humiliating.
