We need the skill "charge." It will make us sprint to our target with increased run speed. It could have high HAM use even though it would not be an attack.


We need something simple like this to have a chance vs. kiting.

that would be helpful for out in the open, but in towns i like to run around corners and such. this way kiters cant see me than when they walk around the corner i hit em than run back around or something, but with new kd costs i must refine my strategy.

Its when somebody shoots you and runs away while shooting you so that you can't get to em and foch em up good and while it's a great strategy for them it totally BLOWS for us and makes you want to /throwmouse and /bangkeyboard and /curse like a mofo.

irony is if you're within range of lunge you're within range of a regular attack.

Marksmen will just take brawler to get charge, and run from us unless its high enough in the brawler tree. A lot of marksmen to unarmed already for commando or smuggler. THey would have this skill as well.

Then it would be best to give the Charge Skill to Master Brawlers instead.

PWT: "Marksmen will just take brawler to get charge"


The way I see charge working is it is /follow plus mini-burst-run. So like /follow it wouldonly work when you have a target selected. Because it is a attack he could not charge teamates with going thou the dual thing. he could target NPCs but he would be argoing them.

Would the mini-burst last for a certain amount of time.

Would there be a re-use timer?

Maybe we should just get reduced burst timers as we progress through the brawler or elite brawler professions.

if this is timed, or on a reuse timer then it will not stop kiting at all, we will still be kited. if a marksmen's burst is up we will still be kited.

I still think the answer to kiting is to increase movement penalties and our defense such that they rarely hit (when we are at master level) unless they stop to shoot. shooting over your shoulder at a moving target is hard enough as is, and if they can't hit us while moving due to the combination of us moving and our innate defence from our skill with our weapon then the issue is a moot point. our reflexes would be so tuned and their accurracy so off that we can easily avoid the shots at master level (of course their level in marksmen professions would modify it as well)

The point is it would make you run TOWARD your target.
