As I was upping a pure melee character in another server I stumbled upon this nifty ability. It literally prevents mobs from swinging at you for 10 seconds (20 if you are master brawler with warcry2).

So this morning I log on my commando, grunting at having to become the mob's chewtoy and cursing the 2.5x nerf... was out in dathomir with a group hunting kams, praying every pull 'not me not me oh yawsh dont aggro meeee'

when a kam saw my whiny face and decided it was time to bite it off. I see its icon light up at 80m *sigh*, in panic i try to hit burst run but NO! I hit the **edit** particle cannon .. FWOOSH! 5k damage on the kam's kisser. Cursing the loss of a charge on something that was about to kill me anyway I realized the **edit** hotkey for Burst Run had been replaced with WARCRY (in the exact same spot my brawler character had it.. this is one annoying bug).. thinking what the heck maybe the server messed up the icon but it would still burst run, I hit it.

Warcry goes off.

My wail of horror wakes up half the neighborhood.

5 seconds go by.. im still alive. 7th second my brain snaps out of it and I hit flame single2.

8th second my character animates the flamer..

10th second the kam drops DEAD.

Whoa.

Repeated this on 5 more kams and it worked like a charm 4 out of 5 (the 5th warped to me *sniff*) .

And im informed that warcry will freeze everything in front of you..in short everything that flame cone would hit, warcry will freeze for 10 seconds.

Does this work on humanoids, like stormtroopers?

Ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a rocket launcher in your backpack.

It's intended. Heck, at master Brawler you can cone that for 20 seconds and light up enemies for some REAL damage.

it makes more sense to be tkasi and master commando.. warcry followed by knockdown+dizzy then flame the fekker again.

Warcry has been around forever although it was bugged for a while. Its the melee version of panicshot and yes it is a very nice skill. It is on a 30 second timer but that is per mob so if it doesnt stick on one or more the first time you can hit it again until it does stick. Also dont forget intimidate. You can use this with any weapon equiped and it will drop the damage out put of the mob to 50%.

So to rehash Warcry to stop taking damage for 10 seconds and Intimidate to cut the damage you take in half. To very nice skills that allow you to stay up close and personal without dieing in 10 seconds. Plenty of time to kill most things with a flamethrower. Hell I use them with a pistol and take out 24 level mobs for breakfest.

Also remember that the bio-engineers produce a tissue which can enhance your success rates for warcry and intimidatin by 25%, since these skills don't have any normal skill mods it means this is about the only way to make them more effective.

Crap. Never knew about this, and wow, it seems like it will make the Commando life easier.

I say crap, because, if it works well, people will start using it.

If people (commandos) start using it, they will become, at least marginally, effective.

If commandos become effective, warcry will be taken away. Or nerfed into last week.

Hooray. Alas, Warcry,I barely knew thee.

True that if they find out that we are not dieing 3 times a min. anymore then they will know something up,maybe we should tell them that we are "cheating" so they will try and find out about our "cheating" instead of hitting us with the NERF tank.

I'll have to give Warcry 2 a try. Thanks for the info. BTW, I don't think this works with humanoid mobs but please correct me if you know differently.
