Brawler Archive

You know, I do believe there is. I'm not sure if wookiees can wear belts, but I know there are belts out there that can hold stuff. You can get backpacks to hold stuff. I'm not sure about actually clothing, though. I've never tried to use em in that way. I'm just making a Dark Ages statement with my wookiee.

Alright, my friend and I are both combat inept brawlers. We've choose our dress and our weapons and our stats, and they are not optimized to be a good brawler.

We go out trying to hunt, but it either seems like we're killing kreetles difficulty creatures all the time, or we are in life and death fights against yellows. The kreetles give about 5-10 times as much experience as the harder mobs simply because we walk up, etc. But that's no fun at all.

And after any fight that gives notable xp, there's lots of downtime. We don't fight much, but at the rate we go, its going to be a month before we get to our elite professions.

What's the secret here?

Just keep pluggin away. There's no real secret. Get good equipment. Be it weapons or armor. Someone should have scout so you can build camps and get the downtime a little shorter. Or even get medic for the same thing. Unfortunately, until you're more experienced in your professions, it'll be kinda tough. But once you get going, you can take on harder mobs and get more experience with less downtime. It's not the easiest road, but it can be pretty fun pounding away!

Thanks for the support

Neither of us wear much armor for RP reasons. Can we get clothing with sockets to make up for this? I've just heard about it, but I don't know anything about how to use sockets or even where to get socket things.

I've considered getting food and spices to boost our stats up, but that seems awfully expensive for killing womp rats.

As far as the long downtimes, try picking up a medic proffession. It's 100 credits and you getto use stim packs (buy them at bazaar for relatively cheap). OR you can do what I did, I picked up both medic AND scout and began simply harvesting my own resources and crafting my own stim packs. That reduces downtime -dramatically-, you regenerate about 100 times faster than relying on your basic regeneration. This frees your regeneration stats so you can migrate them and put them elsewhere (I put them into mind and mind regeneration so I can use stims faster). Try this, it worked wonders for me and made the game more fun.

for the clothing comment:

you can get clothing with sockets however unless they are dropping off of mobs that noone is killing yet the skill gems are very rare. in additiond to that I dont think that they will provide armor bounses.

If you are not going to wear armor then you might want to consider a shield belt. it will help with the kinetic damage as well as some blaster fire for when the desert demons get frisky

If you are running short on cash do deliver missions out of espa. anything over 700 creds should be to eisely(about 9k to the se). buy a round trip ticket and do the same thing from eisley.(again the missions over 700 should be to espa about 9k to the nw)

Good luck and get some kibro knucklers. they will make a big diffrence!

Actually cash isn't much of a concern. I discovered last night that the secret to my success might just be food/drink powerups (Tatooine sunshine for one).

I'll look into the shield belts though, that sounds promising. Thanks!

What if you had two brawlers go after a single enemy. Have one guy constantly do knockdowns, while the other attacks normally. When the enemy is about half dead, switch roles until it dies. Would that stop the enemy from being able to fight back?

I've never really experimented much with those position change attacks.
