ZakMan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Do you guys think this would be a good idea for swtor? I imagine the advanced classes would be tank and dps and always using heavy armor, so a close range version of bounty hunters. The weapons could be gauntlets, i imagine lot's of bladed fists or gloves that have built in tazers or something. Obviously the first question would be "How could you fist fight a guy with a lightsaber?" and my answer would be "how do guys with rifles and pistols survive close range encounters with guys with lightsabers?" I've always liked fist weapons personally, so I just thought it would be something cool to see. Not trying to demand a new class here, just trying to pass around ideas.

djmothra Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 You can already do this in game. Just get your afrementioned BH and unequip his main gun and only use the four legacy punches! If a H2H character was introduced, i'd imagine it'd be the Teras-Kasi Master http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ter%C3%A4s_K%C3%A4si someling like a force weilding Monk, so i imagine it'll be light armour.

Bao-Dur had some good ideas in that regard, although I can't remember entirely if his shield was anywhere near the strength level required to engage with a lightsaber. But I do remember his arm thingy being pretty damn strong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNevet Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) A Teras Kasi class would be awesome. There was a long thread about this way back... let me look for it... Hmm, couldn't find it anywhere. Must've been on the old forums and doesn't exist any more. Edited December 28, 2012 by TheNevet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, for authenticity, we all go to Corellia (or wherever your pop center was in SWG) and stand in a line for a doctor buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomMalice Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 You guys do know that a DPS Scoundrel is mostly hand to hand fighter right? Majority of their top damage comes from punching their targets. Which brings up the questions: How do you punch a metal droid harder than a slash from a lightsaber? And how is punching considered Tech damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithKoriandr Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd rather see the Lightsaber/Blaster dual wielding force user class, over a hand to hand fighter. But if a hand to hand fighter was introduced, I wouldn't worry about how it protects iitself from a lightsaber, as lightsabers in this game dont match up to what they do in the movies anyways.

djmothra Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 ...That's not punching, that's shooting them with a shotgun No, they do actually have a Punch move in one of their trees - it needs Upper Hand to proc its use though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 No, they do actually have a Punch move in one of their trees - it needs Upper Hand to proc its use though. And don't forget hitting them with your blaster - much more "hand to hand" than simple shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWaotc Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 "What happened?" "He tried to block my lightsaber with his hands. It was a bit downhill for him after that."

Nythain Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Have you seen the intro vids? The Jedi chick blocks malgus' lightsabre with her hands... That "Jedi chick" blocks malgus' saber with the force, something that "Jedi chick" is incredibly potent at given that, that "Jedi chick" is Satele Shan, descendant of Bastila Shan and Revan. Not a feat easily accomplished by even master jedi, let alone jedi, padawan, force sensitive, and non force users alike. That being said, I'm all for a Teras Kasai or Echani Warrior class.
