Thread: Knuckles of the Katarn What's up with this weapon? (or any TK weapon)
Paid my 'life' savings for a blaster fist. From a ( I thought) nice VK that had stats around 1.4 sec 146 - 453 damage that averaged around 190 a hit, when my bare hands hit for around 175. The BF I bought has 1.29 speed and 235 - 685 that yields 350ish on a regular basis and a fair share of 512s. 2 hits at 645... which I was almost dancing over. The BF was made with (I was told) 101 krayt tissues and a Nym's motor, or some such. All I know is 500K seemed like a lot to me at the time, but I'm glad I did, because glory be! I can solo again. Slowly, cautiouly... but I can do something besides dance when no one else is around of interested in hunting.
I've only been in the galaxies since March, and didn't start to spec TM seriously until I tried it in CU... back when I thought they meant 'We'll never release the CU until it's smooth and worked out' or whatever marketing verbage they handed out at the time. Have worked my way up to 4344, all respec went into turning from combat medic to Dr. I'm loving it!

The knucklers do slightly more damage than unarmed, but I'm still not seeing the advertised cold damage in the detailed combat spam. It's all kinetic.
I don't see any elemental damage working at all atm *except* the damage over time elemental from my commando's flamer (the attacks themselves also show no elemental damage at all), this might be sort of connected to the completly broken display of elemental damage on weapons...
I btw use the Katarn Knuckler mostly because I seem to have less action cost than with my bare fists when using it :-P.
For me it's either a vibrolance for shorter fights where action cost does not matter much and the Katarn Knuckler for fights where I know I'll be in combat for quite a while.
