Thread: Why woud it be important ...
To get master brawler when you want to be a swordsman ? If I don;t plan on using any of the other weapons from brawler, is there a reason for getting master brawler that I'm not aware of? yes I'm new to this game!
You gain three extremely useful skills at master brawler: /intimidate2, /warcry2 and /twohandedlunge2.
/intimidate2 cuts an enemies damage in half for 2 minutes
/warcry2 delays an enemy so they can't attack for 20 seconds
/lunge2 knocks an enemy down. This is the only knockdown move Swordsman can get.
I use these three moves in almost every battle I fight, they are that good.
Its not important. Its maybe a prefference that some people are going with... But its not important. Not in the sence that you have to do it.
Master Brawler also adds weapon speed and defenses plus berserk2 which is handy for dishing out more dmg on lairs.
You don't have to do anything. But if you want to be a successful swordsman, I propose that this is something that is pretty much vital for high level mobs. If you want to just dabble in swordsman to round out, or accentuate another class, you prolly won't need Master Braweler. I.E. You want to be a ranger/CH and be able to survive on harsh planets and kill big stuff for resources. A few swordsman skills will let you do that. But if you want to devote yourself to being a swordsman in the pursuit of battle, Master Brawler is the key. I'll put it to ya this way. I use master brawler skills in 95% my PvE encounters. As far as PvP goes, warcry 2 is good i hear, (I don't PvP that often). And the defensive lines from other brawler classes can be a good combo there, all that knockdown defense is definitely handy. You may not need MB. Or if you just want swordsman for the mindbleeds you won't need MB. justthe 2h line from brawler and 0-4-0-4 in swordsman.
I dunno. What kinda swordsman do you want to be? Find that out, and the choice for MB or not will make it self clear. Remember you get toughness,speed and accuracy bonuses too with MB. and those add up. Espeically if you want to use a powerhammer.
