Brawler Archive

Asa Master Brawler, I know the difficulties of going up each brawler tree.

Going unarmed w/out VKs suck. No doubt about it. I do not agree w/ taking VKs completely out of the brawler tree. I think it should be a cert in the Expert or Master Unarmed at most. Getting VKs at Novice is dumb. Overpowered pre-TK is all that comes out of it.

Get a nice pair of vibros and anyone can zerk their way through stuff. It's great damage at a really fast speed. I hit 300-400 so fast, 2 kick/punch animations and I've already hit 3 times. I'm only using a vibroblade for my 1h, for HAM reasons, so I can't really compare 1h and unarmed. VKs,imo, have it easier to kill things than 2h. Why? Blind (because I'm a Master Brawler).

I don't think that Ordained's post was trolling. I am working up all four of the brawler trees and find each challenging in their own way.

I do have a problem with the cert on the knucklers though.

The way I see it is that Vibro class weapons are given to players in the brawler class, but knucklers aren't.

How does that make sense?

At expert unarmed and expert one hand sword, I was doing equal damage using knucklers and a curved sword.

Now, the gap between my unarmed damage and my one hand sword damage is as large as the Grand Canyon. How this is fair, I have no clue.

I would like to see various, progressively better classes of knucklers. And if that is not possible, there have got to be some perks to going unarmed. Otherwise, the class will do a base damage while other classes can shop for the best weapons to maximize their damage.

my 2 cents:

Yes, vibro-knuckles helped any unarmed brawler before the patch, due to the damage output. It was a bit wrong, but compare weapon/damage output from polearm, sword, and 1 hand with damage a brawler does with his fists. It's gross.

I can understand the first two boxes of unarmed doing the amount of damage it does, but once you progress to the 4th box, it should be either doing more, or by having a weapon that allows more damage. When's the last time you seen an Unarmed Brawler find a smuggler and get his hands sliced?

I doubt I'm going up the Teras Kasi profession, but at 4th tier unarmed, I'm hitting NEWBIE creatures for around 85 damage a pop.

My g/f and I tested some stuff out, it was not extensive, just 1 kill. She has 4th tier pistol, and I have 4th tier unarmed. We take out a Bolle Bol for example. She gets 1400xp, I recieve 650xp (unarmed)

Even though pistol is already strong (we all know this) I should be able to do more damage than I am. Hell, if I was a swordsman, I would not have this problem.

And the Takedown ability in Teras Kasi, yep... that's probably one feared attacks of TK artists, probably the only one. lolI know someone will argue on this hehe.

Last thing - Even though vibro knuckles are the only good unarmed weapons, the only good ability to use with knuckles is berzerk. Everything else would force you to kill yourself due to the outrageous HAM costs.

Yeah, and I wanted to say.. I hope some of you guys know what a pet peeve is if not, here ya go:

1) n :an opportunity for complaint that is seldom missed
Example: grammatical mistakes are his pet peeve.

Btw, I can understand he wanted to be an understanding type of person, but his personal thoughts on the issue should of been just that, personal. He's supposed to listen to the mass, not just add in his thought on the matter. He would of been a Dev. if that's the case.

Other than that, he's doing a good job. Aside from the unarmed/teras kasi line missing weapons, HAM costs, etc.
