Sarfux Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Alright guys. I don't play with my blaster at all and haven't touched it on my 2 level 60 Operatives. I'm knife only on them. But now. I just figured out on what I'm going to do with this new Operative I'm making tonight. Knife only play through the whole game starting with when I get my shiv, along with my Legacy melee features such as jab, punch, uppercut, and bash. I will be taking all ranged rifle abilities out of my hotbar and taking the blaster rifle out of the main weapon slot. I will be leveling like this to have a strictly melee combat and knife only character through the whole game. Wish me luck guys! This is very fun so far and is quite a challenge!

I will be leveling like this to have a little bit of strictly melee combat and knife only. Wish me luck guys! This is very fun so far and is quite a challenge! Heh. I had not thought of that. You should be great though... your procs will still work and do massive damage. Hell, I may give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taramayne Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Only problem I can see with taking the rifle out of the slot is that you will be sacrificing half your tech power, which will cut your knife (aka tech) ability damage quite a bit. But, it's your game, so good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdbgjfdhjgkjdhsg Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I tried that with my level 14 operative. It worked really well, even better than with a blaster. I haven't really tried leveling yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branmakmuffin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What about grenades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarfux Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 What about grenades? I haven't really decided yet about that but I haven't really been using them that much. Having been thinking about it even. Technically, grenades are thrown from range, but it's not really a blaster range ability at all. I have using only my knife abilities and my legacy melee abilities. What do you think? Grenades or no grenades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I don't think I'm going to use them. I haven't been and it's been going well actually. This is a lot of fun doing this while leveling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroniaSW Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I tried knife only on my OP (level 14ish) and it worked pretty well, lots of damage and mobility. However, I was never in a situation where I got stunned/immobed and hit from afar. The knife fights are pretty kinetic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfaneightys Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sounds a fun thing to try. Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandherio Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Nice idea. Have not tested that four legacy melee attacks for years because i thought it was just for 'style'. When the damage was increased than you can indeed create exotic build's like: Punch Only Warrior/Knight (no light sabers, or maybe using that CM market axe) Punch Only Soldier/BH( no main hand, only generator) Punch Only Smuggler/IA (no mainhand, only offhand knife) ps: grenades or not? practically it wouldnt make a big difference (if you mean that standardnade not the fragnade) Edited May 17, 2015 by Gandherio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-darko Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) sounds like a fun thing to do . . . go for it, even tho the hardcore ones say 'no grenades' I would claim that it would make sense, using grenades, cripple them before the cutthroat . . . but that just me;) Edited May 17, 2015 by t-darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarfux Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 This is very fun guys. And yes, I have used grenades from time time and have all my ranged abilities off my hotbar along with my blaster out of the slot! This is a lot of fun! I love finding new ways to play!
