I have both KD1/KD2 and Pistol Melee Defense 1. I'm posting this for reference between theabilities. This is based on my tests with my character.


Using KD1 or KD2, the followingapply:



  • -207 HAM without VKs

  • -664 HAM with VKs and reduced range

  • The costs seem to be spread out across all three HAM bars, more in Action, probably something like30% / 40% / 30%

  • I believe the max range witout VKs is 4m

  • without VKs on the damage seems to stay around the mid 400's

  • I don't ever KD with VKs on anymore, thats suicide

Using Pistol Melee Defense 1 the followingapply:



  • -139with my FWG5

  • The costs seem to be focused from the action pool

  • I believe the max range with weapon is 6m

  • the damage varies from 300's to 600's

  • don't have to put weapon away to knock your target down, makes it very easy to use

If I use KD1/KD2 a lot, my biggest problem is mind loss. This doesn't happen with Pistol Whip. Also, pistol users tend to have a high recovery rate for action, making this even easier for them to use. If the cost is going to remain so cheap, I think it needs to be 0% / 50% / 50% so that they can't just spam then heal themselves (as some are doing in PvP already, with HUGE success).

Bro, I agree 100%.

Its is not fair, the devs think they have done the right thing?? Bah!! to that!

the Devs need to fix this before I get back from my Vacation, or they will lose 1 more customer, to an UNFAIR nerf,

Hell, its **edit** dumb for a ranged user to even have knockdown. They aren't supposed to let the mob get that close, that's what a gun is for. So it really doesn't surprise me that they have a lower HAM cost, we all know the devs favor them anyways.
