Brawler Archive

Right now I am a Master Smuggler and Master Pistoleer. I have a decent amount of skill points left, and am wondering what you guys would suggest that I take up as a supplement combat profession. As of now I'm thinking either some TKA or some Fencer. Really all I'm looking for is a way to help me be more effective with a pistol (such as status defenses, melee/range defense, dodge, etc). After looking through both of these professions, I thought that fencer offered the best in the way of status defenses and, importantly, dodge. Coupled with the dodge from pistoleer, I think I would be juking and jiving through just about anything However, I would have to spend a good portion of my skill points and some time to go up the 1 handed sword tree in brawler...while with TKA, I already have Unarmed 4 thanks to my Smuggling profession. Do you guys have any opinions on which would help me out more...Fencer or TKA? If I did TKA, I would be able to do at least 3 or 4 more boxes than with fencer since I wouldn't have to use skillpoints in the One handed sword tree. Thanks

Couple more things I forgot...

I have about 160k combat xp stored up, so I would be able to climb those trees pretty quickly. Might help change your opinion

Also, do you think it might be good to just wait until the combat rebalance? If I work hard just getting certain skills, and they totally change all of the defenses and skill mods, all that work might be fruitless.

Thanks

You looking to PvP much?

I'd recommend Master Fencer if you are, and if you have any points left...try to get the meditation line in TKA for Powerboost and of course meditate. If you still have points left, go for the state defense line.

Another option would be to Master TKA, and go up a line or 2 from fencer to get some of those good defenses.

Off the top of my head I cant remember how many points you would have left after mastering Pistoleer and Smuggler, so that might decide which option is best for you.

Good luck.

fencer defences in my opinion if you pvp alot. But the tka lines are good to, mediate being a real helper.

Just remember that dodge is capped at 125, so you wouldn't need to get all of fencer if you're just looking for more dodge. But like others have said, if you want to pvp, then getting master fencer would be great.

Master Tka, the triple master is fun in pvp and pve.

And you wont have enough points to master fencer, but you can master TKA with pistoleer and smuggler.

master pistoleer / master smuggler / master tk is (to me) one of the most fun and verstile templates availbile. its great for both pve and pvp, and gives you extra things to do when not fighting.

i have been a master fencer and worked a lilttle on swordsman (altho didnt master it) and i find tk to be much mroe fun, effective, and satisfying than fencer.

many disagree with me on that tho. for me, tk is better than fencer. for you it may be different.

good luck!

hmmm
