Thread: When Should I lose the VKs?

I use VK's almost all the time unless I'm killing lowbie/mid-level crap that I just want to kill fast. I'm never buffed, always power boosted, and never on drugs or food. Not worth the effort, IMO.


Its pretty simple to figure out really. If you want to spam specials incessantly, either get buffed up or dont use VK's. If you want to just do the occasional special (i have a habit of KDing at the end of the fight to ensure that things don't run), then keep the VK's on and benefit from the damage.


If you spam specials, unbuffed, with VK's, then you're an idiot, to be blunt.

I use vibro knucklers all the time. I am not yet master but 4244 in TK. And when I don't equip them I hit very slow and do less than half the dmg. Without vibroknucklers I think TK suck mayor time.

As far as the range goes: IME specials hit for the same range - 10 m - with VKs or without. Regular attacks have a reduced range though.


Myself, I only use VKs when going up against an armored target, or when tanking after hitting the target with intimidate/Stun/Blind and using CoB (in the hopes it does something for me).


In duels, I always use VKs. Speed counts, and since I spam specials anyway, range is not often an issue.


Besides, it is safe to assume anyone not wearing visible armor is wearing a personal shield generator in PvP.
