Brawler Archive

I have Unarmed 4 already. I am 4/1/0/1 at the moment. Going for Master Brawler.

I was just wondering if an experienced Master Brawler out there could tell me which is the best weapon to use to achieve each skill box.

One-Handed II:

One-Handed III:

One-Handed IV:

Two-Handed I:

Two-Handed II:

Two-Handed III:

Two-HandedIV:

Pole-Arm II:

Pole-Arm III:

Pole-Arm IV:

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

To achieve each box:

One-Handed II: Curved Sword or Gaffi
One-Handed III: Vibro Blade
One-Handed IV: Vibro Blade

Two-Handed I: Heavy Axe
Two-Handed II: Heavy Axe
Two-Handed III: Two Handed Curved
Two-HandedIV: Two Handed Curved

Pole-Arm II: Reinforced Combat Staff
Pole-Arm III: Lance
Pole-Arm IV: Lance

I only bothered slicing my Vibroblade, Two Handed Curved, and Lance -> Speed Slice is preferred for all of them.

Thanks

Question though.

Why wouldn't I upgrade to a Vibro Axe after Two-Handed III?

Just curious.

**edit** edit button (lack of)!!!!

And a Long Vibro Axe after Pole-Arm III?

Are these not better than the Two-Handed Curved Sword and the Basic Lance. And if not, Why are they not?

Vibros are not as accurate as regular weapons; however, they do deal more damage. Each has it's own pro's and cons. Vibro's are usually faster than their regular counterparts and have greater AP mods than the regulars. The non-vibros will do greater DOT because they hit more often than the vibro's and I believe their specials use less HAM. I mastered brawler with all vibros, but the choice is up to you. Get whichever weapon suits your style. Surprisingly, the long vibro-axe is my favorite weapon, but it has pathetic accuracy mods.

Be prepared to de-buff as much as possible and stand in the fight with vibros. Regular weapons will finish your foe quicker for the most part.

VK's are unique and extremely fast, accurate and damaging although HAM cost is high.

I just made the climb and used nothing but an big 2handed axe, a 1h gafi stick and a long vibro axe (polearm) - i think i used a combat staff and lance until i had the long vibro cert. Speed slices for everything and berzerk state while acquiring all lvl 1 skills (you still do good dam when berzerk even if you don't have weapon certification!).

My technique - I had TK 2112 and nov carbines - bleed shot (stack'em if u got'em), wait for mob to pull and close, go barehanded (no knucklers) knockdown/warcry/blind/stun - equip weapon and just keep the intimidate up. Sometimes i have to go back to unarmed and blind/stun again. I could kill mobs yeilding 1.5 - 2.5 k exp in a couple minutes each this way, the road to master brawler only took... oh, about 4 or 5 days alltogether.
