What do you like about this profession compared to the other brawler style professions?
I love, when combined with Master Brawler, being able to doaLunge2 + Hit3 comboand seeing a +8300 floaty drifting over the dead body of a Tusken Raider.Last night I did a Lunge2 + Headhit3 and watched a blue +7700 floaty drifting over the dead body of a factional NPC. And I love the fact that, after watching me work with the PowerHammer for a while at the Tusken fort, a guy I did not know commented on how well I was doing, and when I said, "Well, it is mainly because I am buffed," he replied, "Buffed or not, you are kicking Tusken @##!" I still smile every time I think of that.
I, also,love being able to go out hoping to be surrounded by 5 enraged rancors, knowing that I have done that and healed myself for a total of 46 health damage after the dust settled. And I love the one time I had 7 of them on me, then after I killed 5, I had to chase the last two down when they ran from the butt-whoopin' Area3 was unleasing on them.
I really enjoy my entire build, which includes Master Rifleman, but I have to admit that I really look forward to pullin' out theole Hammer of Deathand "nailing" something.
There's a reason it's called "Domination" in the combat spam. I'm a pretty big fan of killing a lair's worth of Enraged Rancor at once, too…although for me the big draw on Dath is when I get 3-6 Singing Mountain Clan on me and get to show them that Scythe + Area3 = Lawnmower.

I, personally, try to keep it so that only one group of two opposing factions is mad at me at one time, so I tend to leave the Singing Mountain Clan alone. 
But I had to go down into the NS Forced Labor Camp cave the other night for one of the Covette quests and hada group of NS Initiates aggroed on me all at once. Now, I know they were only Initiates, but when it was all quiet again, I counted 10 bodies on the ground.

For a while I was +5000 Nightsister faction…one trip through the cave to try for Axkva's head fixed that. So now I'm +5000 SMC, -5000 NS, -5000 Spider…oh well.
