ive started playing my friends wookiee swordsman to help him out since he doesnt have much time to play. ive noticed that the lack of armor REALLY hurts melee.

he has novice rifleman, but ive been telling him to go swords so we could melee stuff together. but now that ive played, and know that when he starts fighting harder stuff and getting hit for 800+ a hit with no armor to absorb it, i think hes just gonna fall over too fast.

is there something im missing that wookiees get to make up for the armor situation? ive come across posts about it before, and have sypmathized with their lack of defense, but now that ive actually played it i feel really bad for them.

I'm a wookiee, and we certainly have our problems, but we've advantages too.


Most people, when in PvE won't wear armour. The ham cost with armour is often too high. We CAN'T wear armour, but we've the extra stats nonetheless.


With out extra stats, moves cost less.


We regenerate faster than other races, again making us good in PvE.


The lack of armour really does hurt in PvP though. Ouch.


We may be getting some extra clothes/armour with resists - who knows - things may improve.


We're tall.


Anyway, I'm a master swordsman/master brawler/TKA - its certainly possible, and I like it

Remember to use intimidate, as it halves the damage of whatever you put it on.

it's hard and frustrating early on.


and it sucks that insurance is in now - i know i died a good bit..



but it isnt impossible


and some of the benefits at master for wookiees are nice.


a few tips:


1. don't be afraid to get buffed


2. get a speed slice powerhammer and get your strength up as high as you can


3. use intimidate and some BE cloths


4. dont be afraid to get buffed.



wookiees own!
