Brawler Archive

Good grief people most of the page is covered with VK this and Unarmed that. Ya I agree it seems that we get nerfed bad in that one profession. The original intent was that unarmed fighters should not have to rely on a weapon.. duh lets be unarmed. The problem is we lost speed and damage capability with the change. Don't cry that Spaz told the devs to nerf us, infact he did not. Lets talk about what the real issues still are.

I) marksman can hit through hills and on the run.
II) we cannot seem to hit due to out of range when we are standing on top the creature, or they move back and we can't hit while they are in motion.
III) HAM
IV) Glass Jaw
V) degrading armor rate, problem with being toe to toe. I can destroy a suit in two nights of fighting.
VI) Berzerk is useless.
VII) Unarmed speed/damage
VIII) Pole Missing

unarmed is more than just the path to TK artist,

it's the path to smuggler too....

But yeah the whole brawler profession has issues, but they are most blatantly apperant in unarmed.

I don't have a problem with my long vibro axe, or my polearm skills whatsoever. If you wanna be a real damage dealer advance in technology, pick up a gun and move on with your life. I use a pistol to suplement my damage output. Everyone will not be equal, I hated that about AO when I played it. Everytime something got changed the whole world fell apart because they were trying to make all the professions equal.

Let me share a secret,

You will never be as good as a guy with a gun!

You, fighting with brass knuckles will never be as good as a guy with a sword, polearm or axe/big sword.

This is a newb profession you can't do uber leet dood damage, you are supposed to be a fresh off the farm whiney brat like Luke was.

I feel truly sorry for all you people crying behind your pc screens while somebody holds a gun to your head and forces you to pay $15 a month to play a game you hate so much. If you don't like it quit! Quit coming here and crying looking for attention, go hide behind your mommies skirt and make her talk to the devs. maybe if she is nice enough and does them a favor you can get your vibbie kunckles back.

Why? Why is it like this? It makes no sense to me. Marksmen have the advantage of range to begin with. They can hit on the run but brawlers can't?

Its so frustating to be ON TOP of an enemy running away, and not being able to hit it. THATS BS.

I can hit when I'm moving. Everyone can do it. I do it sometimes, not always, because there is a synch issue not becasue they don't want you to be able to do it.

marksmen run in radom circles, even if a brawler is following themthe marksmanwill land 4x more shots than a brawler chaseing them.

When someone is shooting at a brawler they run and kite them, and even ifthebrawler is10m away, they won't land anything. Ive seen it so many times.

I think that "kiting" is an exploit that makes it too easy for marksmen to make easy kills.

Dark Jedis - I see the wussiest low level marksmen group up and take them out (rifles), making buku exp. How can a bralwer do this?

Brawler gets 1shot by the dark jedi. Oops.

6 marksmen can take out a dark jedi master, I've seen it. They used a nearby CorSec camp. CorSec don't like Dark Jedi. And CorSec have this annoying (if you're attacking them..) habit of running away and shooting (ie: kiting.), and after many of them died, the Dark Jedi Master did too.. it has 26k HAM, one I saw.

Someone went from Advanced Pistol to Expert Pistol in that fight, heh.

I wonder, though, if someone had a Spraystick (one of the 1.5spd ones) and went after the DJM in that group how much XP they'd get.. heh.
