"i dont mean "stun gun" as in the stun batons the fencers have, i mean the small handheld shock the hellout of you boxes that you can buy at a pawn shop for 50 bucks."

The only difference between the two is the shape of the weapon. Stun damage in SWG is supposed to be similar to what a stun gun or tazer do; a painful electric volt that shocks you. (Not to be confused with electric damage which actually electrocutes you.)

It currently doesnt matter what dmg type the knuckler has unless its stun right now. Comp/sentinal/hunting armors have huge amounts of stat defense except for stun and lightsaber. Ubese/mountain/defender have some but a not a lot and i dont ever see any lower armor being warn. To be honest youll have to wait until combat revamp. I dont think they want to give us stun right now. We do a crap load of dmg as it is if i can solo 5 mokks as a novice tk with ease and my master pikeman was having problems its a bit bad. Once the combat revamp hits wait until what happens to armor. Then ask for a new dmg type thats the most logical thing to do. If the combat revamp changes somethign with armor and we have a weapon that does certain dmg maybe it might be effected.

Ah yes but people use knuckledusters and ar classed as unarmed, this is just a SW version of it

Id like to see a blast knuckler, every hit makes a small explosion, causing the skin of the victim to tear and bleed

I think if TKA gets a new VK, it should be a rarer type of dmg...acid or electric sure, but NOT stun..also the VK shouldn't be an easy speed cap like the vk we have now...make crafted ones about as fast as the current PH...tka already owns but their lack of anything besides kinetic dmg CAN be a problem...if they get a different dmg type as well, the vk should either be slower then the kinetic one, or should do a bit less dmg...ok theres my 2 cents.

EDIT: NO idea why this came out green...color thing says it should still be normal.

Finnaly some one whos willing to trade. Simply giving tks a new dmg type or better ap is stupid. It shouldnt be done. TKA is one of the best balenced profs besides the limitation of one damage type. That is a huge limitation I admit but you shouldnt expect to just get better. You have to compromise. You want another dmg type? Ok fine, you cant use it speed capped. Want AP2? ALright, Its accuracy will suck. You more then willing to point out that swordsmen get to choose between blast and kinetic but, to do that swordsmen have to take a huge drop in speed and a huge drop in accuracy.

I'm sorry if this sounded like a flame I didnt mean it too but, you cant expect to just gain. You have to be willing to give something up as well.

But the thing is TKA is the only elite combat profession with a single damage type.

incorrect CHs (TH said specifically they are a combat prof) only deal kin dm unless they take up a 2nd proffesion except TK (like i did)

Ok, I read about half of the thread. After 8 months of being a TK, these are my comments on this point:

• TKs should NOT do heat, elec, cold, blast, or any other retarded damage type like them. People, these are you HANDS! Do you really think that you would want explosions of lightning flying off your hands in real life (superhero dreams aside)? No! That's just stupid. Sorry.

how hard would it be to run an electric current throught the blunt end of the VK? Have it take some dm away because it would draw the electrical power from the VK's motor and cause it to vibrate slower... just give it ap1

heat would also be plausible just add an extra craftable/lootable item to a standerd vk that would generate heat, up the dm but give it ap0
