However, to keep this in check, we have high HAM costs. Those HAM costs SHOULD be high. They are perfect right now, high enough to keep us careful but low enough to keep us useful.

Our other option, is to tank, which we, and most melee professions do well thanks to /centerofbeing. Put on some nice armor, warcry, intimidate, centerofbeing, and dont use any specials.

tk have high ham costs? can someone tell me what they are?

i wanna be in this group of melee professions that can tank.

Our best move which is Unarmed hit 3, takes health, action, and mind away when used. When wearing armor this is tripled, with vk's it's double. So most of the time it's -150 and up. Without specials, we can't do much to a creature that's formidable. So using unarmed hit 2 while wearing armor with vk's is about -60 ham. Since that can be spammed so fast, it can wear you down.

Knockdown 2 isn't that bad though compared to the main hits we need. Also our Unarmed combos are unuseful and unpowerful, it's similar to Burst shot for Carbineers without the damage. Add in that our target hits, barely do anything and take huge costs to do. You've got a bit of trouble on your hands if you're in a big fight.

The fact that you can't really tank without armor on, will always make it so we can hardly use our skills versus something tough. That and without armor anything with a gun will tear us apart, we have no choice but to sport it.
