Im a new TKA @ 0/1/1/3. I was just wondering if it is worth mastering brawler for the TKA profession? I will soon be dropping all my pistoleer skills and marksman skills because I enjoy the challenge of unarmed combat so much more. Im just curious if its worth mastering brawler, or is there another brawler profesion that compliments TKA well?

If your are going with a pure melee character than I can'tstress how good it is to have M_Brawler to compliment your skills. Besides, you may also enjoythe exposure to the other fighting proffs (theyreally arent as bad as popularopinion has em. Oh yeah, all combat professions are getting a boost soon too so look out TK-only fighters).

M-Brawler, TKM and aspiring Blademaster

I'm doing it now... I'm enjoying fighting with Axes, Swords and Lances. It's a lot of fun and... oh yeah... it's nice to actually gain a skill-box more than once a week.

I'm also mastering the Brawler line. I'm currently TKA 2,2,2,2 and Brawler 4,3,3,3. The Long Vibro Axe does great damage when it hits (-55 modifier on all distances) and the Vibro Blade and Vibro Axe are no slouches either. I also agree that it's a ton of fun to use a different weapon with new specials.

I've heard arguments on both sides of the 'to be a Master Brawler or not' issue, and I decided I'd find out for myself. I use Intimidate and Warcry all the time, so hopefully their Master Brawler counterparts will be great! If nothing else, getting Master Brawler will help me land TKM and I can drop it then. I have faiththat Intimidate II and Warcry II will be a great benefit when taking on bigger creatures, thus helping me get TKM faster.

Who knows: I may decide to get the defensive bonuses from all the melee lines. I'd love to be able to use a Power Hammer

Hmmmmm........ Im gonna go all the way to TKA master...

But i just don't know what to pick along with TKA

I got 158 skill points and dont know what to do!

Im almost master marksman, novice pistoleer and novice carbineer but im gonna give all that up!

Also think im gonna give up novice CH!

Maybe take some ranger skill? I heard they run very fast and can catch up on a marksman from a long distance? ANyone thinks this would be a cool TKA combo?

As for brawler.... Yeahh i think i wanna go master brawler! And from their i will probably master either pikeman, swordsman or fencer!

According to this forums FAQ, this would be a killer combo:

"Teräs Käsi Master
Master Brawler
Fencer 4/4/0/0
Swordsman 4/0/4/0
Pikesman 0/0/4/0
Medic 2/0/1/0

This template was designed to make use of all the defensive bonuses from all the various melee classes. Get a friend to buff you and this template is probably the best PvE tank in the whole game."

WOW..... Sounds pretty cool Then if you dont want medic, u can take some scout for Explor so u can run fast over hills, or maybe some entertainer, when u want to relax a bit

Ranger terrain negotiation increases your crawl speed, not your running speed. Scout terrain negotiation only helps in running speed up hills, not on the flat ground. Rangers have asked that this be changed, because mostly only riflemen or maybe BE do any crawling.
