Lunge is going to be used mainly for three things -
- As a 20m Lunge/KD to stop kiters
- As a knockdown for some professions who do not already have a KD
- Lunge 1 is posture down which resistance cannot be buffed
As a TKM stick with standard KD, it does more damage on hit. Know that KD and Lunge 2 still share the KD timer. In PvP use Lunge 1 as Thakitillo (sp?) is common for resistance against KD but not Posture Down.

Is the animation for Lunge2 different then lunge1? Im always in the mood for seeing more animations for my attacks.

not only is lunge1 a posture down attack, and lunge2 a KD... they have a 20m range.
no other melee posture change or knockdown has a range greater than about 5m.
not all of the elite melees have a KD attack.
lunge2 is a treat indeed, and is but one of the many benefits of master brawler.
That is incorrect. lunge1 has a range of 15m, lunge2 has a range of 20. lunge1 is a posture change, lunge2 is a kd. used in tandem, the lunges are an effective way of stopping kiters. you can lunge2, knock them down, then when they get up and run, lunge1 (since therei s a 30 sec kd timer), then when they get up from that, you should be able to lunge2 again to kd them. rinse and repeat.

Stupid boards, new try
Strange then that my lunge1 will hit a target from 20m, always done so and it hasn't changed yet either.

Everytime I use lunge1 on a mob that's 20m or more away it always says its out of range.

As a TKM and Master Brawler I like lunge2 better if I want KD to stick more often. KD2 seems to stick around 1 in 3 trys for me. Where as Lunge2 is about 75% the time. Also I saw afew other players talk about the times to use lunge. Well I can tell they are talking from the point of a PvPer. For PvE it works best as a crowd control attack if say your the group tank. And some noob ranged hunter is getting chased.. Lunge.. A Mob decieds to run from you or a pet.. lunge... NPC's Dizzy then lunge work nice untill you get ahold of lunge2..

Tested Lunge1 today and it did hit from 20 (19)m.
Can we get more info on this test? Was your target moving/attacking you at the time?
Due to server lag, I have used Lunge2 from what appeared to be 40 meters from my target, but in actuality, it was only 20 meters. This is why I am asking.

Nothing wrong with your test, but I was told(never tried myself) that you getmore accurateresults testing on lairs. Most likely because there is no chance of them moving and they don't fight back. I will test both out next time i log in and post my results.

A rill sitting still at 18-19m while I was standing still (with mask scent as not to scare the little lizard away), I hit my lunge1 button and the rill dropped dead. It has always worked for me like that. It's easy enough to test, you can always try for yourself.

Ok, I'll be watching the thread for your findings, but I'm very sure that it has always worked within 20 m for me. (Never done it on a lair though but critter that aren't moving nor attacking me should have the same effects)
