As far as damage, speed of attack, available items, special attacks... How does Unarmed Fighting compare to using a Sword or Axe or Polearm?

Is there a way to view the damage of a standard Unarmed Attack? Weapons have damage and speed ratings, can I look this kind of thing up when using my fists to fight?

lol nice name

anyways, unarmed sucks compared to other melee...well that s what i hear d just take a look around the answer is in soem of the posts.

Damage wise unarmed does much less damage per hit but they hit faster. I haven't run tests since the berserk nerf but at 0 skill boxes the damage over time seemed to be about the same for each of the 4 weapon types. The real difference is that with the slower heavier hitting weapons you could often kill creatures in 1 or 2 hits thus completely trivializing the fight. This is somewhat balanced by misses with slower weapons being nearly devistating.

The bottom line from what I've seen is unarmed has low damage but faster delay. 1h swords is the next with slightly slower speed and slightly higher damage (dagger excluded) then polearms then 2h swords.

Well with a Reinforced Combat Staff I am doing around 230ish dmg per Polearmhit1 but am also in Expert UA since you got to get into UA Master to become a TKA or Commando. Could always use a good pair of vibro knuckles but no such luck finding any yet heh.

Unarmed fighters simply blow chunks right now. It makes me upset just thinking about how sad a condition we are now.

I cant imagine how Teras Kasi is gonna make it any better, looking at the ridiculously low damage bonuses we get.
