I suggest if you have vibroknucklers, that you use them. I notice that you might say they're uncerted and what not but what I've noticed is that I'm hitting for the same damage, I rarely miss hits and I'm hitting the people more then twice the speed. Sure I'm not going tera kasi anymore but I thought I would share this with you guys because it seems to be working with me. I personally think it's better because it goes faster and you basically hit twice as fast. My Vibro Knucklers aren't sliced yet, but I think if I got the damage increased it might go a bit higher despite how it isn't certed for me. Just thought I'd share this with you guys.

Hmm interesting thought I will try that this evening and see if I notice any difference, still have 50k to master unarmed then that long trek to TKA so every bit helps. If I find anything out I'll post here.

I did some testing (my thread is still on the front page) and the damage is about the same unarmed or with knucklers, thanks to their penetration rating. They are faster as you say, which means more damage over time.

If you can find looted knucklers, their HAM costs are about the same as not using any. It is what I am doing and while I have taken a slight hit in damage, I am still much better off than being totally unarmed.

Actually I did do testing on that over the weekend against Tusken. It did more damage with Vibro Knuckler being an Advance Unarm, than doing it w/o. Eventhough I say I am uncert...I won't be able to do the damage I did before with it, but hell, it is much better than w/o

The problem with using the Vibro knuckles uncertified if you double you HAM costs on special moves with almost zero damage increase. I do as much damage to myself I do to the MOB when using these. 28k left to go for unarmed IV and then I'm all set for smuggler.

Hadou, the weapon HAM costs only count when you do special moves.

As far as knucklers killing you in fights, just berzerk and attack. Yes, it's boring, but if you're working towards a different goal, anyway, just do that. It's better than using the special moves with the knucklers armed. Of course, if you're doing status moves (stun, blind)for the status changes, unarm the knucklers, do the move and then rearm them to do your regular attacks.

Anyone else worked up hard numbers for this? At unarmed 3, I have some pretty fast VK (sliced to good damage). Can I see my own attack speed, btw? Is it the same for all of a race, or does it vary with Action or quickness or something?


If you are saying I can do the most damage just by equipping VK and going berserk for every fight, I can do that to get through the grind to TK. 55k more to go!

Just a quick super newbie question....

Do the HAM costs apply all the time of only for specials?
