Commando Archive

It feels like an eternity that I've been working on the Unarmed Brawler tree on my way to Commando and Smuggler. I got 1-4 in the Carbine tree in 3 days to complete Master Marksmen, I've been working on the Unarmed Brawler tree for 2 weeks an hour or two a day and still have 30,000 EXP to go.

Anybody else find the Unarmed Brawler tree to be a horrible grind?

Find a friend working on exp as well that has one of those rock beetles. Just send the pet on the mob and work your berserk skill.

It does take time to climb this particular skill tree, but you are not without hope. One way is to time up with a TKA that has knockdown, go to dantoonie, and hunt huurtons stalkers or huntress. Whilethe TKA knocksdown the huurton you go berserk and equiping vibro knucnklers, trying to obtain the highest amount of damage in shortest amount of time. Second bit of advice is group a MS-6 mouse droid for extra xp bonus, unless option has already been nerf, not sure...After this i bet it would be good luck on your unarmed adventure

i got my unarmed exp before the patch that made vk's suck for non teras kasi , but i did lvl up to lvl 3 without vk's it wasn't that bad.... maybe i just like being melee

I found it easy but that was before the patch and when I was going TKA, my suggestion is find some low lvl thugs that can be killed fast and give 200 xp because that is how I did the unarmed tree in one day.

Still use good VK's even though you aren't certified. Its kind of expensive but you can do 1-4 in about 15 hours or so using a crate of VK's.

If you have novice carbineer or novice rifleman you can get tortur missions on talus. Just kill all the torturs with your main gun and then hit the lair with unarmed. You get about 3k unarmed xp per lair.

I had to do the unarmed grind last week and it wasnt fun but I managed to do 1-3 in one day, and unarmed 4 the next.

First off be sure to do the master marksman pre-req first. This will give you health shot. Also consider getting novice pistoleer for health shot 2. As long as you bleed the mob first then immediately switch to virboknuckles you will getall the exp as unarmed exp. I've heard the two different bleed skills will stack, so I used both.

Find a high level/master doctor and tip generously for buffs. The doctor I made friends withgot all my red and green bars to~2000+ (I'm wookiee). They will generally last for a couple hours. Don't get slain or you'll lose the buffs. Neutron Pixie (spice) can also be useful, but you'll have downtime when you get spice downer.

Use berserk alot. I found it much more useful than the other unarmed specials. Go berserk just before attacking the mob and whenever it wears off during a fight.

I killed stuff around coronet, mostly humbabas. They don't defend as a herd and give 900+ exp, iirc. With the buffs I could kill them pretty much continuosly.When I couldnt kind humbabas Ikilled alot of murras and krabu. I'm also CH and had my pet standing by just in case, but I rarely used it. Dabbling in medic can be useful too to reduce downtime.

in my opinion the whole unarmed thingie should be changed to scouting 4.... makes much more sense

ahh, that would be so sweet. survivalist 4 would make alot of sense and be much more useful than that damned unarmed.

and it would cost most of us less skill pts too since like 90% of players have scout for at least exploration1 anyways.

Thanks for all the tips guys, I appreciate the responses.
