Brawler Archive

I am a master brawler/master swordsman/master stances fencer/master precision tera kazi/master defense pikeman/lvl 3 first aid/lvl 3 explorer

This is insanely powerful against pve: I can solo a bol crusher lair... I solo mutant rancors... and I have beaten a force wielding NPC (although i lose more than i win there as they tend to whack yah for a special hit of over 1200)

My methods are simple I run to 25m I then spam the int2 button till it sticks running like mad trying desperately not to get hit: this halves all dmg done for the next 2 min to me

I then hit both bleeds stacking them for around 4k every 8 seconds

I then switch to unarmed and spam the blind till it works (this lowers their chance to hit i think by half although i am unsure... it may just be for a LOT... like 50 or more)

I then switch back to hammer and if necessary (usually) use a stim b

I then whack away with my mind hit 3 OR just whack the thing a few times while the bleeds kill it depends on resists (70% resist Blast with a hammer means i will kill myself a LOT faster than almost any creature i fight useing specials)

BTW i do this WITHOUT even useing my little beetle... with my beetle... well... mobs dont like me anyway...

Basicly as i said, in PVE i am only stopped when i meet things like force wielders or krayt lvl stuff... or 3 or more rancors ( i have a 50-50 chance in melee combat if i have 2 rancors on me but its always close perty much)

OK thats PVE in PVP i can be killed by a noob with a cdef... if they made a slingshot wielding 6 yr old class i am sure i could be soloed by him too... basicly all you have to do is stay further away from me than 15m and closer than 64 and i will never hit and simply take dmg till i die... might take 5-10 min but heck itll happen sooner or later... only decent times i ever had in PVP was:

A: when folk dont notice me running at them and i get that one huge bleed off before they run and kite... ( i have a picture in my mind of a guy sending a msg to his group saying "hey... yall see the guy with the hammer coming at us?what the heck does he think hes doin?and then discussing the possible tactics useable to send me to clone (looking up occaisonally to see how fsar away i still am).... while i am STILL running madly at them like the knight in monty pythons holy grail...)

B: when they get mad and follow me into ANY building and i teach them you cant kite someone in a 10-10m space... it is rather fun to watch them circle the room though while i sty perty much in the center...

So I hope that answers you a little bit...

btw overall dmg i take on a 1000 health hit... if it hits my armour....

1000-500 (int2) =500 - 250 (light armour vrs almost all creatures ap0 {anouther reason to avoid any weapon user})=250- 100 (40% resistall on my composite) = 150- 57 (38% swordsman melee resists)= 93 total dmg. Amount i get hit after i blind the heck out of it= 1 in3 (i have a 101 melee defense) so i avg takeing 93 points every 6 seconds or so in a combat like this...

I'll take you on that bet Talcius, I'm a Master Brawler, Master Creature Handler(I can control 3 powerful pets at once), almost Master Pikeman, bring it on dude, my pets will have you for lunch and I'll put your head on my pike as a trophy... MMMUUUAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We brawlers got to stick together....

lol Panic shot cone whoops there goes the pets attack for a few rounds then I just hit you with lowblow and last ditch till your dead Oh ya COmposite armor with 40% kinetic resistances nad a lv3 shield with another 20% kinetic resistance mwhahaha and I used to be Master CH but gave it up Besides a player and any number of pets vs another player with no pets is not 1 vs 1

Zemsta do you use armor when your soloing those big mobs? Or is the ham drain to much?

You're wrong. Lunge2 is long enough for a master melee to finish off just about any marksman. And, if not, Lunge1 is all that you need to do it. The 30 seconds doesn't matter if the guy is lying there incapacitated or dead.

To answer the original question, my guy is currently:

Master Brawler, Master Swordsman, going for the defensive lines in all other melee professions (not quite there yet, about 3/4 of the way). I'm also going to pick up at least 2/4 in meditate and maybe the whole line. Oh, and of course I'm novice medic and novice scout (terrain negotiation).

Anyway, I'm very powerful in PvE and also haven't had any problems in PvP. Zemsta, I'm not sure why you're having so much trouble, but the trick is to know your role and playing intelligently. If someone is kiting you, then let them go. If they don't see you coming, don't waste time with the bleed, just lay them out with a Lunge2 and 1-2 mind hits from the Powerhammer will finish them unless it's another melee or they are heavily armored (composite).

im going for MTKA, and contemplating master brawler, tho it doesnt seem to be worth all those skill points needed. I also want it somewhat for the rp value of being a tough monk-like martial artist, but I also have a few other proffession Im enjoying, so my skill point limit is the deciding factor. Havent made up my mind yet.

in answer to question 1 i ALWAYS wear armour... the only piece i dont wear is the helm as i need to regen mind badly... but even there sometimes... on head hits it runs like this... usually i can regen fast as i regen about 5 pts per second... and often enough i dont take head hits... so the question is do i feel lucky 5 straight head hits will take me down... but a very few and i can regen fast enough to offset it...

as to pvp its the problem of hitting a moveing tgt... that and a bh with eyeshot means aut death... i get hit usually fer arouond 1000mind dmg in about 10 sec... coincidently he can do it while moveing so i never get there... if i do get to a guy AND i dont get the too far away msg even at 1m distance then the guy turns to pwder real fast... just getting there is half the batttle is all...

I was curious, do any of the brawler lines have a bleeding special move? I'm working on TKA right now.

Every line except TKA

I am an 'uber-brawler'. My professions are as follows:

Master Brawler
Master TKA
Master Medic
Doctor 0430

I am a Buffing machine.
I am a Super Tank (my CH friends have taught me Trick1 and Trick2).
With Intimidate 2, I can solo 3 Kimos at once.
Lunge2 allows me to stop and kill just about any marksman.
Best of all, I have a lot of fun.

Itrisso <L INC>
Rebel Colonel, Ahazi

I'm going for the same thing pretty much. Master Brawler, Master TKA, and doctor 0 2 3 0 for buffs. I have a +25 wound treat robe that will work after the patch for my buffs and when power boost works it'll be great! Also people, don't forgot that Lunge 1 and Lunge 2 are on seperate timers as one is a knockdown and the other is a posture change. So in PvP you can lunge 1, then get close and KD2 if you need to. I find KD2 much more effective than using KD and dizzy seperately as the dizzy lands most of the time with KD2 and it happens in one hit. Also on the armor issue, I have a hotkey set to equip/unequip all of my armor with one button. And in PvE the onlyspecial moveI usually us is Intimidate 2 other than UA3. Also, Intimidate 2 does more than reduce damage by half. I'd say its more like 85% damage reduction. This combined with unarmed toughness and full composite ranging from 65%=74% makes for a LOT of damage reduction. For all my special moves except unarmed 3 I have it macrod to take off all my armor and vk, use the special move, then put it all back on right after. I dont do this for unarmed 3 because I have a tendancy to spam it causing 4-5k damage per second with my 210 dam VKs (that AP1 and 210 dam makes enough of a diff in damage to make the ham costs worth it). Before spamming UA3 I take off my helmet so the mind cost isn't rediculous and I have some mentals to heal. But with my buffs all my stats other than mind are at 1500-2k so there's no point in taking off the other pieces. The only thing in PvP that really messes me up are BH/CH...I take down both graul maulers in about 12 seconds but the whole time the **edit** BH is eyeshotting me so what can I do? The only times I can do anything is when I do /follow and /burstrun and catch up to em really fast but because I have no scout (not enough skillpoints) it's a tough thing catching up to them. Now that I think about it, I wonder if I can heal their pets? I should just run back and heal ther pets to beat em down for more wounds lol! I KIK JOO DOGS!

I am a master CH and master TK. I use to also be master brawler on top of that but gave up the master brawler simply because it didn't seem to really matter. Most things didn't work or not well. Unfortunately I took up rifleman andthe last column under rifleman to get a T21 and 20 points of melee defense. I really want to be master brawler again because I like the idea of having 3 masters, but until they give a reason good enough, master brawler just doesn't cut it imo. Once you reach master brawler you should get a really good bonus towards melee defense or at least let us have power hammer cert or something There's just not real reason to master brawler. Since I have TK I use knucklers, the rest of the weapons just don't cut it. NO BLEEDS from edged weapons?!?!? Once you have knucklers you don't need the rest, you have to get just as close. It simply needs more.
