thats a lot of points to spend on one attack. I was a MB at one time but there were to many other things I wanted so it had to go. The september 19th patch thatput in the posture timer was the biggest blow to our profession imaginable.

TKA here, so please excuse any naivety concerning posture changeon my part, but perhaps the problem would be fixed if the KD timer was kept on 30 seconds and the posture change was put down to 10 seconds or so.

Well I took some advice and did Master Brawler in 2 long days. 2hLunge2 and Warcry2 is definitely very very nice....costly, but wouuld lean toward worth it. If i get lunge off, it's great. My second biggest problem just graduated to my first in PvP now, and that's the range thing..../follow doesn't keep me close enough unless i couple it with /burstrun. I've learned a couple of things though.


A. Don't challenge duel first, let the opponent challenge, that way you can accept the duel when you're good and close.


B. Create a macro with /follow;/burstrun and another that is just /follow (for when burst isnt needed). Use this FIRST.


C. Create a macro with /follow;/melee2hlunge2;/warcry2;/melee2hheadhit3;/melee2hheadhit3;/melee2hheadhit3 (or any hit3 or bleed combo). Use this SECOND.


Yeah, Warcry2 is nice on animals, but in PvP it hasnt worked for me...it says it works, but they just stand up and it's definitely not 20 seconds or anything close to it. I'm still using it until I can figure everything out.


Does anyone else have a good combo that works for them...like utilizing the dizzy effect? Please post PvP combos that you love to use.

I would also like to say for the record, that Pistoleer and TKA do not spend a lot of points to get knockdown...so I still think the fact that i had to spend so many points to get brawler is bogus...but what can you do? I did it, I love it, but my points spent vs. a Pistoleer or TKA does NOT makeit fair. Such is the nature I guess.

Its not a nightmare for me in PVP when a TKM comes up to me,usually they arent armored and I have my armor on, My first hit is a Mind bleed combo, because when I fall (THEY always KD+Dizzy) They will be sitting there Bleeding in the mind, If they try to meditate I will headhit them..



Thats my solution in PVP with the KD effect.. Mind bleed them while there doing combos while your KD'ed if you have armor on you shouldnt take much, I know I dont take much dmg...
