Brawler Archive

I'm doing my homework conserning Warcry. If you guys could answer a few questions that would be wonderful.

1) Can Warcry be used holding a weapon? If it can be used with a weapon in hand can that weapon be a Ranged Weapon?

2)What range do you need to be at to use Warcryafter this latest patch that extended melee range? Basicly what is melee range now?

3) Can Warcry2 hit successfully most of the time without the use of item bonuses? Or do you really need the bonus items after all is said and done?

4) How far does Warcry's effect cone go out?

Thanks in advance for any helpful answers guys : )

1. Yes, warcry is not a weapon specific skill. It doesn't matter what you are wielding, as I have used it while wielding both melee and ranged weapons.

2. You need to be closer than 20 meters to warcry, and it is up to 25 meters for intimidate. The range for melee specials was extended to 10 meters, while the range for regular attacks is still around 5 meters.

3. You cannot use warcry 2 successfully most of the time unless you have some clothing with a good warcry mod. As a master brawler it is not uncommon for me to miss 3-4 times in a row with warcry 2 before I can get one to work. Sometimes I can get it on the first try, and sometimes I almost kill myself trying.

4. Warcry 1 is a single target move. I don't know how far warcry 2'scone goes, but if the enemies are close together and are within 20m the attack will hit all of them. I have delayed up to 4 targets at once using warcry 2.

Helpful Hint: If you hit a creature with warcry, then pull off a knockdown on it, the creature will not get up until warcry's effect has worn off. I use warcry 2 then two hand lunge 2 for this.

Warcry1 is AE now. I liked it single because I am a smuggler with panicshot so when I did not want to hit ae i usd warcry..

Tried that on dathomir and delayed about 8 things with 1 warcry. But the fact is it can fail and takes a lot of ham to be able to fail. If you want to drop BH to get a delay of action get smuggler + dirty fighting 2. Panicshot cannot fail unless you simply MISS which wont happen if you have decent accuracy. And it takes alot less points to get than master brawler if you already have a ranged profession.
