Give us a vibro knuckle-type weapon. Its hard enough killing mobs when you can only hit for at most 50 damage in a regular hit.

I've been TRYING to live with this nerf for the past couple of days but I can't see much of a dent in my level. I tried with VK and w/o... various powerup combos... I'm not getting anywhere, really. I want my certs back...

Let me give you guys some advice....
Start off w/ a bleed if you have one....(if you dont have one skip this step)

Berserk Then intimadate your target...
and you should put short work of most mobs....
intimate helps alot, lets you tank anything for twice as long also cuts down on healing...grab novice medic...and get some stim-b,c's and that will cut down on your downtime..

also try to fight hermit spiders, they are easy to kill and their lairs have a nice regen...i can get 10-20k an hour on them....

> Berserk Then intimadate your target...

Actually, you need to intimidate first. Berzerk keeps you from doing anything else. Here's how I do it (mind, I'm a smuggler and have some pistol skill)

Threaten Shot - Health Shot (a bleed shot) - (Threaten Shot - Overcharge) <--Repeat until in melee range.

Unequip your weapon

Intimidate - Warcry - Berzerk

I'm sure you can find a way that works for you. Without the VKs, wading in and beating the crap out of people (as fun as it was)just doesn't work anymore.

Hey Funcom^H^H^H^H^H^H SOE! Put the VKs back or give us something else! You misunderstood our correspondent!

I find bezerk is not worth the extra damage you take now that it's only 75 dmg increase, not to mention the time and HAM you can waste if it fails a few times.

Intimidate and Warcry help, but they are much to short duration. I find they too arent worth the trouble.

My method is to get novice scout. Make Wire Mesh traps (melee defense debuffs) and pull the mob with one of these. Then immediately land your stun and blind punches (if you have them yet). This works well for me.

The first three lvls of unarmed don't take much xp and by the time your working on master, you'll have your blind and stun.

I've tried all these combos, with and w/o VK. Even w/o certs the w/VK set wins. I can't afford the cost of intimidate/WC/Bezerk et al...

The only way I seem to get far is stun then blind. Then it seems I'm on equal terms for a time. Trouble is getting the first hit...

I'm not high level, I don't PvP, I'm mostly hunting to get hides/meat. I was silly and picked Rifleman/Ranger. Rifleman get owned in PvE, so I did what others suggested and I gave up some things to eventually get Commando it that gets fixed, TKA if not. I'm beginning to thing 2-handed was better and to forget about Commando....

C'mon, give me a reason to take UA now, 'cause I'm not seeing it... I've now totaled 2k UA exp sense the cert move... wooo... 33k to go....

oh, and mind you, in order to even WIN a fight I start with Mindshot1, Mindsot2. I can't stim enough to do a UA only fight with a creature... I will loose the med and the stims soon if I take the Commando trees.
