Like the message says - is master brawler really worth getting for TK (or for any melee, for that matter)? It seems to me that it's a lot of skill points spent for very little return.

no not really the ranged KD is nice but there just isnt enough pay back for the skill points you used to get it

jiub

i went mater TK master brawler, intimidate 2 is nice, and the ranged KD is nice sorta, would be nice if the ranged KD and TK kd stacked, because its suposed to be a lundge, id prefer that they made lundge 2 knock to prone position, so we could stack it with TK KD.

berserk 2 is seldom usefull, and a real hinderance most of the time.

warcry2 doesn't work with intimidate 2 , keep getting teh message that the mob resists over and over.

its worth it.

Im TKM/MB and love it. Imtimidate2 is the best ability in the game, the 16m knockdown is nice when chasing down those kiting ranged mobs. all of the extra defense will stack (tougness, ranged etc..)

IMHO my build is the best PVE in the game. (I can solo kimo's & rancors) we are pretty good at PVP as well (I have pistol 4 for the bleed)

i was master brawler...

it is worth it if you are going to lvl up sertain colums in the other melee proffessions to get their defensive abilities.

otherwise use your skill pts on another profession.

in shrot the only thing in master brawler that is worth a crap is (INTIMIDATE 2) and seriously it is nice, i will miss it when i train out of it. everything else is crap, nothing too usefull, nothing that you can't live without. I have berser 2, but i still only use berserk 1, because 1 is better. warcry =dumb, lunge is nice, but who cares id rather lundge 1 +TK KD then do Lundge 2 they slide away, get up and by the time i get to them, im still chasing them. /shrug

same theory with low blow. its nice granted, but like useless for TKMs, because you knock em down, you go to them and pop off lunge 1 right? he still gets away with 1/2 life, and now on a timer. best combo is

lunge 1+ tK KD + chain unarmed hit 3 = dead in no time, specialy most real PVPers because they pump up their mind with high focus and stat mods.

but ya intimidate ability +20 to skill lasting like 1 minute longer is so **edit** usefull i will miss it.

it is sorta, IMO; a TKM without master brawler vs a TKM with it (doesnt matter what race) the one with it will always win; plus a good PvP tactic is to lunge them and then run up and use knockdown 2; but sometimes they get right back up so you cant get to them fast enough; lunge 2 will knock them down and then you dizzy them while down and crack a few head hits off and no matter how much they run, as long as you are in lunge range you will stand a better chance than someone without master brawler; plus intim 2, zerk 2, and the unarmed damage / speed / accuracy / defense mods; honestly a Master TKA / Master Brawler / Doctorzabrak is pretty much the best combo you can get in melee for TKA; but the one thats REALLY worth it currently is TKM / pistoleer master / medic skill with some nice stim C's; you can then chase better so you dont get kited, then win in melee; commando / tkm is also good; let off a flamethrower and then cap them with a lunge and a KD and they are toast; I dunno basically its all up to you but soon the lunge 2 will be worth alot more than it is now.

Intimidate 2 makes it all worthwhile. Nothing will affect your melee capabiliyt as much.
