Ambush with Brawlers 10/05/2010 05:33 PM CDT
Any of you guys ambush with brawling weapons? Like a sai or troll-claw, for instance? At least with the sai, I'd imagine a similar result as using a dagger (although the base RT is 1 second higher).

Sais are better than daggers vs heavier armors.

But brawling is a lot more expensive for rogues than OHEs...

True...it would have been more of a 'flavor' decision than anything, although if I were inclined, Voln Fu would be available to this type of character.

They also have the added benefit of being 100% puncture weapons.

Aim for the eye for those delicious low rank crit kills.

Are they considered "larger" than daggers, thus a bit more difficult to aim? Or is it a negligible difference?

size i think is wholly dependent upon base time. I could be wrong on that but that's what I assumed. It's a good indicator, regardless.

So yes, while they would be more difficult to aim, possibly, they are still tiny 2 second weapons. The difference would be negligible.

On the other hand, my rogues are also all in Voln, which increases the attractiveness of the brawling skill.

My TWC ambushing brawler uses sais. As has been stated, 100% puncture is nice. <--- understatement
