Well I want to chime in here with a hello. And ask a few questions as I have just started a new character on Bria. And I plan on taking him fencer/doctor.


First off WE ROCK ON STYLE. And I only have 3 of the boxes in brawler so far. Man we might not kill everything but we look cool doing it.


Now first question. How come some of the weapons don't start a 1000/1000 on condition? Am I being cheated here with a used weapon?


From what I have seen so far out best weapon both damage ham and armor wise is a vibro blade. I just read up on the advanced vibro blade. Going to look into that... But is that our best? How does a stun stick work in? I know there are lots of mobs vunerable to stun so that part sounds good. But how come as a fencer our best/master weapon is a stick and not a sword?


Second I am having pretty good luck with the body hit special we have and the dizzy. I see some aoe type styles coming. How do they stack up? What are some of our better styles? And what is some of the suggestions for the best lines to go up first in our tree?


Well thanks in advance for any answers.

Well, I'm not sure, some of them could already been repaired, but some weapon slices may reduce the max condition as part of it...not sure about that one.

The Adv. Vibro Blade is very nice, but some would prefer the regular Vibro because of the lowest possible HAM's for special spam. A good Curved Sword is very nice for damage dealing as well, you really just have to find whatever weapon has the best stats for your needs, Vibro, Adv. Vibro, Curved, or Ryyk. The Stun Baton is really situational at best. Use it on players with big, beefy sets of armor and slap them around. Otherwise, you shouldn't need it that often. It's not really our 'best' weapon, just the last cert, like alot of the other end-line weapons.

Our high level AE attacks aren't bad, especially Blind Spin and Dizzy Spin. The regular Spins are nice for killing a whole group of low-levels mobs easily. I'd suggest taking all of Tier1 first, then rushing Footwork. After that, it's a matter of preference as to whether you want to rush BodyHit3 first or the other line.
