the only melee profession weapon im aware of is the master fencer blade... i asked numerous people and there are no unarmed melee weapons... the best we can get is the NK blade which fully sliced only does around 800-900 dmg... that could be off since mine disappeared out of my inventory while equipped and customer service isnt doing squat.. so i havent seen it in a day or two.

anyway, why is there no melee weapons for unarmed? why only guns for ranged professions that do massive amounts of damage..

I don't know where you got the impression that the guns are any good. I got the Mustafarian disruptor pistol thing, and it's worse than many pistols I've seen on the bazaar AND it can be neither power-upped nor sliced.

There were also a few other decent melee weapons added...

And...Because those unarmed really need melee weapons. I always thought it was ridiculous that you could be unarmed and still use a weapon (regardless of whether it pleasantly fits over your fist).

reason tkm need "knuckles" is because the fists cant do the dmg.. either put good weapons in for tkm or buff tkm's natural weapons (fists)

All the weapons stats I've seen so far (that includes also melee weapons) really sucks. Don't trust what was displayed in the Friday Feature reward.

What we get as loot is high SAC, lower damage, unsliceable, unpupable. Only good to hang on your new bunker house walls.

yeai have a collection of weapons on my wall

but yea the fencer blade drops from Vansk

wish there was a tkm weapon.

be patient you'll find them in time...

also alot of the schematics for both melee and ranged weapons come from combos of the Chu-gon dar cube

there is a blaster fist that drops off a droid guardian i beleive forget the exact drop but i know there is a new knuckler

if you beta tested....theres a plethora of melee weapons....the xandank lance looks nice with a 74 sac and 1300 max dmg

there alos the obsidian schems u can get thru the cube....be patient, you will find them all

i meant melee weapons for unarmed, im TKM, and use NK nightblade right now. xandank lance is a pole arm right? are the obsidian ones 1 or 2 handed or unarmed?

ok, ill start being patient and looking

btw where do all the glowing stuff drop, just random or is there a specific mob? i got some but havent tried all combos yet.

They did not nerf anything these were always the stats the frogs always give max stats items and if you took the time to read through dev chat at the live chat there are also schematic versions of the weapons made from the cube that are better as we found out

Guns should outdamage melee weapons. Melee has better defenses than Ranged. And besides, las tI checked, fists couldn't go through armor, but bullets/blaster fire could.

Being melee should be a disadvantage...as it is in real life. Just because you think your fists should be able to punch holes through Star Destroyers doesn't mean they should.
