What attacks do you do to keep your enemy on his back in pvp. I try doing area attack2 then sweep 2 and using lunge2 and all. Im just curious because I see those pikemen pvp out there and kd/dizzy their opponents quickly,

yeah, hit3 posture changes, and if you use that one them while they are kd, then they get right back up.

against jedi, area 2 till dizzy, then i go to a KD, and cycle through those as fast as i can, then i go straight back to area 2 to keep the dizzy, against normal players, you cant really, keep them down if they have high KD defense 'cause they can just stand right up


it seems that when you try to stand up it rolls for you to either stay up or go down again, and ur KD defense help push it toward standing up. . . .

Anyone actually tested how likely each knockdown is to succeed? Is Sweep2 really more potent than Sweep1? Is there any reason to use Lunge2?

I did a little testing of this, but couldn't get enough data to actually reach any decent conclusions. Subjectively, I feel they're all about equally effective.

The reason to use lunge2 is is has a 20m range, while the sweeps are 10m.

Oh okay, thats cool.. 20m.. that'd be nice for chasing down those ever-pleasent kiting BHs and Riflemen.

I just Mastered Brawler last night, and haven't tried Lunge2 at all.. but I assume by your post it works well enough to be useful? How useful is it in PvP? Ever have problems KDing with it compared to Sweep?
