Thread: Why are so many people unarmed?
Yes, polearm, that's what I like to hear. I too was part of the unarmed TKA bandwagon, but I decided not to go with what I thought could bring me the most elite combat skills (as far as brawling goes anyway), but what I wanted to play.
And with the recent cutbacks, it seems I'll be able to hit novice pikeman a lot faster than I'd have been able to hit novice TKA.
Non unarmed brawlers and non tkas i salute you. Working toward fencer here and loving it. its good to see some one want to become a pikeman. havent seen many. even less than fencer. hope to try pike man one day but i am a blade man above all else. I guess the tka band wagon just makes us unique. Only bad part about being unique is paying for training. I'm a broke little brawler right now
wish there were more like us

two words, was fun
still is fun, if you want it to be. as underpowered as unarmed is now, i still love it just for the style of it.
wow! I amazed I'm not alone. I'm also a swordsman working towards fencer. Death to bandwagon!!!!
Nothing wrong with going unarmed really. I just don't like things where everyone else is going for the same.
Alas, I'm broke too because there are no players that can train me.
One of another reason would be that you are always fighting with yout best weapon. When you are on a corpse run you have your best weapons, saves on Insurance Rates. You don't have to spend money buying weapons or upgrading when your current weapon degrades.
I think as the crafters progress and better weapons are available, you should see more different Brawlers. I know that I will be expanding out from Unarmed as soon as I see some other types of weapons available that are player crafted.

i don't see why you guys keep saying unarmed is weak now im still able to kill even cons you just got to think. the only people saying unarmed is weak now are the ones that liked beating up on yellow and red con with little trouble
Why don't you try creating a new character on a different server and tell us how many white cons you're killing?
My brother created an unarmed Brawler yesterday. He knew nothing about the game except what Itaught him about fighting. I left him alone to go get something to eat, and I came back to find him killing yellow cons at Novice skill.
On my own unarmed Brawler, I kill 2-3 even cons in a row. Two at the same time. I can also kill certain yellow cons. And, if you read my post about my Trandoshan, you'll find that I'm doing this at a sort of handicap.
I also don't know why people are calling unarmed Brawlers "weak" or "nerfed."
Why are so many people unarmed?
For serveral reasons;
1, Only unarmed Meleers can become Commandos
2, Only unarmed Meleers can become Smugglers
3, No weapon cost and just as powerful
4, Horrible graphics when running with a melee weapon (especially polearms)
