Brawler Archive

I just got unarmed 1-4 so i noticed that i automaticaly started getting exp for novice TKA which is what i want. So, here are my questions.

1) i'm gonna want master brawler to go along with the tka right? or do i not?

2) do i have to get all of the brawler skills like pole arm, 1 hand and 2 hand to get to master brawler? or do i just have to get my 600 or so apprentice points?

thanks for the help guys

Hi there,

Ill answer what i can which is:

To get Master Brawler you need to be a Master in all the brawler skills(Unarmed, 1h, 2h, Pole) and then get the apprentice points on top of that. But on the other hand getting the Apprentice points once you have mastered all the Brawler trees is pretty easy since you can train everyone who uses any melee weapon =)

The road to getting there is the slow part though. But its also pretty nice to have all the pool specific attack at your disposal for different situations if you dont mind using weapons now and then.

The other upgraded skills you get at Master Brawler are supposedly pretty good, as i hear the upgraded Intimidate is nice as well as the warcry. Bonuses to your skill mods are not that large but they are there so that is always good. I have not been a Master Brawler, i was one or two skills from it in beta though.

My opinion is that if you plan on being 100% melee + some other misc skills(some scouting, medical maybe) then having the extra skills you get from master brawler are worth it, i intend to get it if i dont go up into Creature Handler to compliment my TKA once i get there.

Well, thats my take on it, hope it helps some.

Have a good one,

Hey and thanks a lot! I don't really wanna do all those other skills so i guess i won't get master brawler. I just mainly wanna be a TKA with some nice medic skills. I've also been thinking I might get CH too since i'm getting pretty close. Thanks for clearing that up for me about the MB.

Well for me, it's sort of worth it. I had my heart set on it from the start but about 3/4 of the way there, I realized that I should have spent more time in the two-handed field. That way, I would have been a lot closer to master heavy swordsman by now.

But seeings as how I was so close, I just decided to go for it for berserk2 and those few extra points that help me out in 2hand.

Thats why I wanted to become a master brawler, so I could go to which profession I like, or change to if it dont work out. But I have a question about skill mods. Master Brawler grants + to melee defense, and + to ranged defense, so does this carry over to other professions? Say I learned novice swordsman, and get a +5 melee defense skill mod. Would I still have that skill mod if I were to use unarmed, or would it only apply if using 2h sword?

Same question for status affecting mods.

Heres what i found. I'm a Master Brawler and i cant complain. The Intimidate, and Warcry skills works very well. Lunge2..Knockdown plus lower ham cost than Lunge1 works very very well in pvp. I got unarmed before they put in the cert for it but Polearm was probably the hardest tree to get exp in for me. A Little tip on missions. Once you get to Tier 3 on any skills you start to get a TON of diseased bocott missions. When doing the mission kill the first 2 that spawn, then hit the lair once and hit peace. Wait for it to explode on its own twice which will spawn 2 more. Kill and repeat until it wont explode anymore. You get about 2k a mission and they are easier than hell. Exp stacks up incredibly fast that way. But master Brawler i found is worth getting for the Lunge2 and intimidation skills along with some small stat mods.

I know Lunge 2 does kd. Does it have any other effects.

i don't know... i'm still having post-master brawler-depression. i have 11 xp points left... *sigh*

but on the up side, today another player referred to me as "master ka'fi" : )
that was kinda cool.
