Brawler Archive

This is ridiculous! SWG is a skill based system, not a class based system. The nice part about it is the ability to mix and match your skills to find something you like. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using warcry or intimidate as a ranged user. Just like there's nothing wrong with using panic shot and low blow as a brawler type. This is not overpowered, so stop crying nerf. If you think it's so great, then get it yourself and stop posting nerf!

stormbilly - the point is if youre a brawler and you want to use low blow you have to have a pistol in your hand.

then you arent a brawler anymore

you can just slam a button from lowblow and it magically happen as you hold a gaffi stick.

skill base ...yes.

using skills that you should only be able to use with a melee weapon......no.

there is a huge diffrence here.

I think the problem needs to be view from another way. If this can make a too much powerful combo it needs to be balanced. If I'd follow you Keseero I could say that I don't need a rifle to head shot a NPC with my pistol... so I think it's a balancing issue.

But of course if a Rifleman wants to mix his profession with Master Brawler that's ok but if he becomes almost untouchable it's different. You see what I mean?

since when do you need a specific weapon in hand to give out a scary warcry? It is a brawler skill, yes, but there is no reason why a ranged person should not be able to use it. Same with intimidate. You should be able to intimidate with any weapon. You can looknasty and intimidate someonewith a rifle or a sword. Han solo intimidated a whole squad of STs while holding a carbine if I remember correctly.(yes I know you can't always compare the movies, but it illustrates my point)

And for the record, I'm NOT a ranged user. I'm strictly a brawler template.

Storm, as I wrote above, I could fire in the head of a NPC without having any Rifles skills if I follow you.

But anyways that's not really the matter. I guess this is not an issue. At the cost of 15 Skill Points it gives a useful move, not really overpowered. If an ennemy comes to close to the Rifleman, he can Warcry, helping him to flee for example. And it doesn't work every time.

So I'd say that there's no real problems with this. I'd prefer seeing Pikemen a bit more accurate

Why shouldn't you be able to intimidate and warcry if you pay for the skills? For those of you who say you should need the weapon equiped...why? Intimidate is a vocal or visual thing as is warcry or even taunt. Hell, even before i picked up brawler i was able to Intimidate and Taunt, in the form of Rescue, as a wookiee Rifleman/Ranger. Should I have to be required to be a melee wookieeto use those skills since they are forms of Brawler skills. I dont think so.

commando's need unarmed 4 don't they? if you take away their ability to use warcry/intim then you turn the unarmed 4 req into a huge lump of totally wasted skill points.

Do you really want to start the nerf talk? What goes around comes around, and the nerf whiners will be after the 20m lunge next, or lunge2's knockdown. Or warcry2's 20 second delay.

If they make this a brawler only skill they better give those animals that can intimidate some melee weapons or martial arts skills.
