Um in rl you cant use a sword made of lightand you cant genetically enhance your body to withstand heavy blows. In rl a guy with a gun has the advantage in a open field against melee but in a inclosed space full of corridors i think the guy hold a sword would win.


When you are warcryed you are able to run away if you want you just cant attack.

i have been reading the various comments and i have been at a loss. What do you expect from your character as a brawler. I am learning the brawling art but i dont think i will master it. this is not the Matrix. You can not dodge bullets so why would you like to go into a fight unarmed? If i had a Jedi i would probably go into a fight unarmed.I use the brawler profession to help me with my other professions. If a fight ends up in close range then i will holster my weapon and fight hand to hand.


on another note. You should have the choice of fleeing if a warcry has been inflicted on you. maybe there should be a limit to how long it would take for you to re-enter a fight. Not everyone will stand in one place and let you beat the snot out of them just because they are scared. Remember Fight or Flight. Not fight or Freez.


i am new to this game but i have not had any issues with the Brawling profession. It should complement your gunslinging abilities. Bruce Lee said the worst thing you could face is an armed apponent. Are there any people here who have taken martial arts? yes. than there should be no complaining.

Not to insult you, but...


1. The game is not supposed to be realistic. RL rifles shoot accurately at up to 1.3km SWG rifles/pistols/carbines shoot up to 64m. You get shot once RL at the very least you are going to the hospital rapidly. The system is the way it is because it would be pretty boring if everyone just ran around with ranged weapons. At the same token melee weapons have to be comparable with ranged otherwise no one would play them.


2. you can run around after you have been warcryd you just cannot attack.


3. Next time some one asks you how your martial arts would fare against a 9mm, ask them if they have it on them.

ok two responses. i understand what you are saying and i agree. i am only saying that characters should not run around unarmed. confined area combat can be conducted unarmed and it should be fun to do it. even fighting armed characters in confined spaces should be fun .i have not seen a command to disarm an apponent, but it would make sense to have that command.i am only saying that if you want to fight unarmed then you should not complain about the difficulty involved. just like becoming and maintaining your jedi character should not be an easy thing to do.

I'm still not sure what you're talking about when you said you hear a lot of complaining about brawler. Most people that I've seen that are in the brawler skill trees love it and only complain about the things that are broken. I for have no complaints about brawler, in fact, I find it to be more powerful that marksman.


On the other hand, if and when they nerf warcry, then I think we'll hear A LOT of complaining.

The characters that run around unarmed are the ones learning the unarmed profession....which is really quite good


And people that seem to be getting mad at grailml...take it easy, he's still learning

Heh...I said "people" which is plural....it seems like the only one who's undies are in a bundle is atone.


Atone, try to fix that wedgie, you'll feel better.
