To start out, I love being a brawler.. I found myself as one, early on in Beta 3 (after having been a marksmen throughout beta 2) and never looked back. Yes its a hard profession, but in the end we are *almost the tanks we were meant to be.
So , last night I was getting ready to log out for the night, after heading back to Keren, Naboo (Eclipse) when some newly logged in "d00d" got a little frisky with the emotes. Being the lady I am, I promptly threatened his life, and we we began our duel.
Now, I am not even an advanced one-hand brawler (this go around) so all I have for my special moves are One hand hit, and One hand Lunge... along with Intimidate/War cry/Beserk. I , immediately put myself on Auto-follow (so I could give chase as he ran) and opened with Intimidate, and One Hand hit. As I know that one-hand Lunge is broken and is only doing 1 damage a hit... well, after getting him down to half health.. the guy begins to run for it... but alas I am /stuck on him like glue.. except for the following message "your target is out of range.." So I One-Hand Lunge him.. knock him down and try to attack.. the only problem is.. There is NO Stun time to One-Hand lunge!!!! He can get back up before I can One-Hand Hit him, or even do any sort of damage at all!! So, I rinse and repeat... this "duel" went on for 10 mins.. until we were both so bored we gave up.
It was disheartening to realise that although I shouldve beaten this guy easily, up close and personal, that he was able to heal while kiting me.. AND had he really known what he was doing, he wouldve beaten me easily due to the Bork'd One Hand lunge, not doing what it was meant to do.
I do undertsand why One-Hand Lunge was "fixed" but I think now its been nerfed to the point where it is worthless. I know when I am "knocked down" by an NPC I cant get up for like 5 seconds.. and they do plenty of damage when I am down. I dont understand why this cant be rectified, to make it more even... from a PvP perspective. A Short duration stun time, would be awesome.. maybe with a timer on the use of the One-Hand Lunge, so it cant be exploited, or over used. Just something for your consideration!
ps. Please forgive any misspellings, and bad grammer on my part
