Buff Unarmed

[Laemor]

Weighted punch and axe kick are still bread and butter one two punch combo, and in a fine place once agility levels normalize at 200.

Lariat is good again, allows a follow up without being a stun chaining meme or useless like before.

Power scaling is fine the moment you hit beyond 200, but maybe adding more weight to weapons would make that gap feel more real. Advanced stances are really what make unarmed viable.

I wasn't day one unarmed, but I did wield it for a short period of time during it's most savage state. In response to your comments though.

Lariat is; OK. Yeah, I think it's better now, in terms of stopping cheese, but in terms of being an intermediate? I think it's fallen off from that, honestly. Flying kick feels superior in that aspect. Heck, even Assault does. Sadly, I have no idea how you'd fix it, maybe give it more damage? The damage is weak, now. About 2k with a heavy heavy cooldown. Either way, lariat is a touchy subject entirely. I'd rather it just lose the stun and become the true fatal of Unarmed with maybe some other added effect.

Jab: To notyel's point. What he's requesting. Is actually what chance changed from the moves... He took off a tile from Jab for example. Originally 5, nerfed to 3. Now two. I thought three was the sweet spot, tbh.

Weighted + Flying: Attatched the point above with jab. Both of these techniques were actually a 1 tile longer than they are now. Maybe he doesn't know it, but he's actually requesting for a revert. Instead of buff. Pre-ts they went a bit further. Now? They do feel lackluster as it all takes is one dash back to counter these abilities outright, where as Armed doesn't exactly have that problem with similar version moves.

Iron fist: Power scaling out the way, I think we need more unarmed stances to be viable in that. able to buy without dipping into hiddens. It truly does make it onesided in comparison to armed. As he said before too, they get extra stats in the form of elemental buff/anvil bonus/pristine/exhalted/ one of three stances as well

Unarmed only gets pow. : I Not advocating for more stats, but at least let us have more options than with the stances we can get.
