Brawler Archive

Hello Brawlers.

I'm interested in taking my unarmed tree up but I'm having some difficulty with the unarmed. Currently, I find a blue con (with my scout blaster and bone armor on), shoot it up until one more hit will kill it, switch to unarmed, fight until one more hit will kill me (and do nearly nothing to the thing in the process), then finish it with a pistol. The downtime and wounds are unbelievable.

Most of the info I've found comes from before some 'nerf' and such, so I'm looking for some fresh and accurate info.

If you could, please let me know a few planets and the names of some easy critters (mob for the search engine users) to unarm there. I'm not looking to powergame through the roof, but I don't want to sit on the sidelines all the time either. I currently have 200 unarmed exp points, so I'm looking for very basic critters. Are there critters with weaknesses to melee out there?

Usually I wait and boost unarmed when I'm in a group, but lately I've been on the solo hunt.

I'm a rodian without a vibroblade, but I do have basic trapping skills so I can launch a lowbie wiretrap on them.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

Good to see another Brawler super hybrid out there.

I am currently hunting around the Mos Eisley Spaceport, and I find that the Worts and other creatures around the city are great XP for unarmed combat at early stages in your career.

Hope this helped.

Get vibro knucklers.

Use traps to pull mobs away from lairs. Try to get them solo or 2 at a time. Mor then that and you will end up with alot of downtime.

Do not rely on berserk.

Watch your special costs when equip the knuckelers. They will double. So will your damage.

Thugs on Naboo are great they drop weapons and cash too!! There are plenty down on the beach to punchout.

Good luck

Which city in Naboo?

Thanks for the tips! I did mean vibroknuckles in the original post when I said I didn't have a 'vibroblade'. I have the knuckles now so things should get a little easier.

I've been testing a little cooking on the side and found I can survey/sample like crazy by boosting willpower to reduce my mind 'activation cost'. If the knuckles eat health, I'll try going out on a full stomach of crispic and see how it does.

Kaadra is a good place to beat on thugs just watch the spawns since they respawn real fast and after you kill enough they will DB every chance they get.

The bone armor only helps you against guns, it won't help you against melee damage. So I would recommend taking your armor off if you plan on going toe to toe with the mobs when they get to you (assuming of course they're not shooting at you).

The Vibroknuckles will help you tremendously. They don't eat health per hit, only if you use special attacks. So if you zerk, you have 30seconds or so of special hitting for the initial cost.
