I got Unarmed 3 and Pistols 3 and am going for Teras Kasi and then Smuggler.
I am using 1.6 speed 134 dam vibro knucklers, and/or a DL44 metal pistol 154 dam 1.8 speed - both sliced.
I can kill creatures in a couple of shots from the pistol and it takes it me 15-25 blows with unarmed. Animals that are easy to kill with a pistol (and give c.1000xp) are nearly impossible in unarmed combat and I end up dying/getting incapped.
Is the game that inbalanced or am I being an idiot when fighting unarmed?
I am fighting guf drolgs, vynocks, chunkers, mites and rasps + the occasional harder target when grouped. Are there good tips for unarmed combos etc... that I am missing out on?
Otherwise I can be Master Smuggler long before I can get to Novice TKA ... and that's not cricket!

The damage you do as an unarmed brawler is poor. Wait until you get TK novice and wave goodbye to any thoughts of TK being underpowered
As for things to fight to get the xp, get to pistols 4 since you have to get there anyway, then use the bleed and punch tactic. Shoot your target once with /healthshot1 then switch to your vks and steam in. The mob will bleed out and you get unarmed xp
Oh, and take up novice medic, buy some decent stimpack B's and stop yourself taking naps

If your still at Brawler Unarmed III then your knuckler damage wont do anything, only the speed helps you to decrease the time between moves.
The beserk might speed up your kills specialy at this level.
The advantage of a gun is that you already have a shot that goes to 3 Ham bar, while unarmed still goes random, this will later be offset by having the ability to hit each of the 3 bars with a move.
The crawl up from unarmed to TK novice is a bit slow but i think the rewards are worth it.

thanks for the advice
i'm one step ahead of you on the novice medic. already got pharmacology 1 - medic seems to xp really fast. got some decent stimpack b's yesterday. now if i can only get my "target self, heal, target enemy" macro to work effeciently instead of 3-4 in 10 i should last a bit longer.
it's a pain when you end up trying to attack yourself without healing and watch that death blow send you packing.
