Does brawling count as a weapon in terms of circling requirements?

Brawling is probably the hardest weapon to train, unless youre a race that has a natural weapon (pryd claws, rakash moonskin teeth, etc). You just cant do enough damage with it to learn well, I have like 25 brawling, and can punch rockies if I ambush them, but the most Ive ever done to them was a "solid" hit.

When my LE and brawling were equal to each other, I would use my LE to kill goblins, and could lock it in about 5 minutes, just attacking, not backstabbing. Brawling took like half an hour.

brawling isn't that hard to train... i find short staff and sling far harder to train.

Medium Edged: 190
Heavy Edged: 143
Light Edged: 113
Brawling: 103
Light Crossbow: 97

the secret is to train it while you dance to get evasion going.. hunting leucros or guardians or la'hekes i swing my sword a few times to get the critter off balance. than move into brawl mode and <circle,elbow,shove> it keeps me incredibly balanced and locks up brawling very well. But i'm slowly working my to 100 in all weapons.

brawling is the easiest weapon of all to learn

you can dance and just circle bob weave over and over and keep it locked forever on one critter

Yeah its very easy. Lock you backstab and weapon and when locking defenses just brawl weave circle till locked. Easy as pie!

you are all going about it the hard way, seriously, if your brawling is high enough to hit something you hunt, then yes, I spose bob weave and all that crap. But, really, the easiest way to learn brawling is to hold something in brawl mode and hit with it. I use a log. I hate HT, but I still carry a log around just to work brawling. Its weird but it works. Another way to work it is shoot something with an arrow or bolt so that it lodges, then just type "get arrow/bolt from critter" over and over. You learn well that way too

dont see how thats really easier then circling a bunch while ya just standing there dancing anyways.

I used to grapple kneel stand kneel stand over and over not sure if that works with new system but circling over and over works perfectly. I dont feel like shooting one with a crossbow each time and doing that but does seem an interesting way for some. Anyhow there are many ways to learn brawling far better then any regular weapon all on one critter.

There is no RT when trying to get your arrow/bolt, so you can lock brawling very very fast.

Speed isn't that important tho, you want to learn evasion anyways, rather then just sit there might as well circle sometimes.


Soim posts,actually overall Valcer is correct.
Kapi posts,Yup Valcer may sometimes put his point across in a rather abrupt way, but often its just him getting carried away due to his passion and desire to want the guild to progress and improve.
