How is the damage/speed/ham costs without VK at power 4?

Should I keep wearing my costy VK's or should I trust my nice hands?

I am close to master doc too btw, so it is buff galore for me.

I say use your hands. Knucklers drain far too much to be worth anything anymore. I think the weaponsmiths will be upset with me saying this. heh. Basically I call my other brawler moves into my combat. If you ever thought intimidate sucked before you should try going against one piket. I used to KD them (I now use KD2), stun, dizzy, blind, combo1, combo2, unarmedhit 1& 2, unarmed body hit, lunge1, intimidate. If the intimidate works then I pull out my vk and just hit them normally.

Dude dont take on any high level creatures without those VKs!

Queen Kliknik, Huurton STalkers, Pikets..ect

take off vk for specials, put em back on for berserk or regular hits. keep em on w/ specials if you wanna do a nice finish.

Are they really that bad? I use mine almost exclusively now, never removed them to fight yet.
If you have a doc buff you out, you'll never need to take them off and you can spam specials all day long.
If however, you're like me and rarely bother getting buffed, then i try to keep to a simple combo:

Stun, Intimidate, Blind, Intimidate, Bezerk

Since the intimidate stacks for duration, i've noticed that if you succeed with 2 or 3 intimidates in a row, you can zerg for the rest of the combat vs say, a Piket Longhorn without the Intimidate wearing off.

Also we'll have Warcry working again soon, so it'll be even better, Warcry, Stun, Blind, Int, Int, KD, zerg

The only way you can spam moves with VK's on is if you have your mind buffed too. Otherwise you can still easily kill yourself spamming moves with them on.

Personally I thought would always use them, but once I reached Power 4 I never use them now unless the target is armoured, even stuff with heavy hams but no armour I do not use them now.

If I am going to go against something armoured and high hams, If I do not have a doctors buff, I use tatooine sunburn and muon gold. This usually keeps the hams costs down for 10 mins. And by that time either it is dead or I am, so can live with the Muon Gold downer.

Don't be so sure.
It all depends on what you have your mind/focus/willpower at doesn't it.
I regenerate fast(max willpower) and use very little mind due to high focus. It makes a big difference.

It is very easy specials W/O VK's on pop the VK's on and do your damage.

I have power 4 and i do about double my damage with VK's on.

I also Incap myself if i spam specials with them on.
