Brawler Archive

Well I have recently made a wookie TK on shadowfire and he's almost unarmed 4 now. I had a swordsman on wanderhome before I converted him to a BH and I got to say with all honesty that non ranged toons are at a severe disadvantage. With a couple of pistol skills as a beginning toon i could slam squalls all day on rori and get excellent exp and cash. My wife also made a unarmed brawler doing TK as well. we went to rori last night to try out squalls and with 2 of us got slammed extremely hard and they conned blue. With ranged you can run in circles all day and they can't catch you. Now if the game is supposed to be so truly balanced then why in the hell can ranged players ( i am inlcuding my BH in this ) get away with killing so many more mobs at an equal skill lvl as a unarmed/brawler/swordsman etc. I understand that once the TK line is hit and all that the unarmed becomes more vicious, but nowhere near the amount that a ranged player does. Not tomention as well I had some cement head harrasing us and finally accepted his duel and he was new as well and fitted in that crappy bone armor. I had no way to stick to him and attack so all he did was run around shooting and i dropped like a fly. He had a couple skills in pistol as well. Playing both sides of this now I fully understand why the non ranged players are not happy at all. Now I know I can't compare alot of this to my BH for the simple fact that he is a hybrid and it isn't an easy task just even getting novice BH, but speaking in context of ranged weapons in general, taking a vast more variety of mobs, they make all melle types look sick. Im asking myself now what is the sense of even having melle types in the games. Might as well call it Bounty creature wars. Because I see way more BH's and CH's than anything else. It is time now for you sony to really hit the bricks and not fail at actually being the first to possibly correct a gaming issue that has plagued us for years now the mass imbalance issue. There are a ton of things i could go on to rant about that needs to be fixed but this isn't the spot for that. My main goal is to say hey I play a BHhybrid class as my main, I have done master marks, master brawler, 2 hand, 1hand, polearm, and working on TK now with another toon and melle class's are majorly FOOBARD! If they are ever to have even a remote chance to their counterparts then they need a pretty decent overhaul IMHO!

Peace

Get knucklers.

As a Teras Kasi Novice (Int Balance and Int Power), I can take Mountain Squills, Tuskens, Dewbacks, etc. Yes, unarmed can kinda suck right off the bat, but once you get into the TKA tree, you really start being able to deal damage at a good rate of speed.

Just stick with it and you'll be fine.
