Brawler Archive

Dunno if anyone's tried this yet but I'm loving it. I'm sure the Beta kids have this one figured out already. I'm just sharing so NYAH!

This trick is for Expert level one handed weapon brawlers and above. It requires you to have both lunge and dizzy skills. This technique only works against humanoids. It involves knocking someone to their knees them crippling them so that they are on the floor helpless. This technique works great if you're soloing versus one strong humanoid opponent, or several weaker ones, or if you are in a group and taking on hard red humanoid opponents.

That said, once you approach and get within lunging distance of an opponent, execute the lunge. Depending on how accurate you are with the lunge, he/she will fall to the ground. Immediately after they fall to their knees, execute a Dizzy (skull strike!). If this too succeeds, you will have pretty much won the battle. They will be on the floor stunned and dizzy and unable to move, helpless, at which you can stab to your heart's content. Not very honorable but deadly as hell. Hey, I did say this was an assassin technique....

One other tip to add to this. Once they are down, you have a lot of freedom to do what you wish to them. To dispatch the grounded oponnent really quickly, you can beserk and follow that with as many hits it takes until they die. This will usually land you with some 200% of your normal damage (sometimes more). That, and your opponent is immobilized.

If you're clever and fast enough (and lucky) you can take on two white con opponents at once by juggling the assassin technique back and forth between them. As long as one of them is on the floor the whole time, you can dispatch the two with relative ease and gain a LOT of xp in the proccess.
