So I'm using unarmed hit 3 on a Dantari Janta lair for about 2.3k a hit, and after a few of those my ham is all but gone and I'm thinking....."Dang, these specials sure are life draining".

I then take off my Vibro Knucklers and the drain is significantly less but I'm only doing about 1.5 k damage per hit. But, since I didn't notice to big a difference in speed I'm thinking..."Are vibro knucklers really worth it?"

At the speed TKA's hit at master, you would think that unless you are buffed the difference in damage in negligible when you are hitting that fast and you can just take the knucklers off to save yourself on the ham cost.

Anyone else think that this is a feasible line of thought?

yeah Jonab you make a good point.

but every now and then I may try to just sneak in a quick playing session on dantooine or what not if that is where I logged and run a couple of missions between coming home from work and running some other errands or what have you. And it's during those instances where I may end up spending all my available playing time chasing down a doc and spending precious minutes listening to a musician, so I just decide to run a couple of missions unbuffed instead.

like i mentioned somewhere else, get a pair of fullyy HAM experimented VK's with a damage slice.. you get a damage bonus + AP1, and a significantly lower HAM cost

Maybe the lair was just a safe target to test the difference in HAM costs between using VKs and not using VKs.

Or maybe he just wanted to beat the crap out of something.

For a quick play session, just hold some pixies, they're like half doctor buffs, and once you combine them with powerboost, they're pretty good. Just have a macro handy to tell when it's gonna run out, hehe...

Or save yourself some of the ham usage, Knockdown2, remove VK, UA3. About the same.

i have no idea why you would even hunt without buffs. only take a couple mins to get and then its a moot point. hell with msic buffs+doc buffs+ muon+ryshcate you can actually get yerself down to 0 cost for moves. sure takes a little while to get started, but the speed increase by having no downtime is VERY worth it.

Hmmm I dunno about you, but I've been able to hit up to around 2500 with unarmed hit 3 with just withmy bare hands. Now that I'm a master I'm using knucklers alot less, unless it's a damage sliced knuckler with below average HAM costs (which I don't have so go figure... :smileyhappy

if you want no doc buffs then use BOH+powerboost. thats 500 or so to all stats toss on some muon and maybe some vegeparsine and you got doc-less buffs for the time you want to be on....course you will spend a LOT more money on food than on buffs in the long run since they last so much less time. generally when i hunt i get buffs, and use muon. then when the muon downer hits, i pop a fishak, powerboost, and eat 2 ryshcate. voila no down time and an average cost per move of about 15 mind....with vks.

i work a LOT. when i get on its only for about 2hours on average, unless its the weekend. i'd rather spend 20mins finding buffs than 3-5 mins every 8 mins waiting on muon, and powerboost. just get the buffs, you'll get to play 2x as long actually killing things.

Just checked logs, those 2500 hits with fists were when my enemy was knocked down, not standing. 1700 seems to be about the average hit with fists on a foe who's standing (without any speical kinetic resist)

Always drink Breath of Heavens, it reduces HAM cost. And most important, use VKS when they are KD and thier mind is the weakest.
