Looks boring to me

[Bobmuhthol]

It's a punch to the head, and one of the most powerful punches in existence.

SO BORING.

[Stunseed]

I think it's cool a Warrior could haymaker someone with a fist-scythe.

[Bobmuhthol]

Doing it with a hook-knife would be awesome.

[Drew]

It's too bad only warriors can do it.

[Stunseed]

Warrior palspmip's bitch with a hook-knife!
Hook-knife ends up lodged into their temple.
Warrior wins.

[Xinister]

Someone show some clips of Haymaker in action?

Thanks,

This might be a bug or something, but I was testing out cman precision earlier with my rogue and set daggers to puncture. At 2 ranks it's supposed to then puncture with every hit, but I get this messaging maybe one or two times out of ten.

>You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a thin flawless steel dagger at a gremlock!
AS: +421 vs DS: +326 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +63 = +178
... and hit for 26 points of damage!
Slash across right eye!
Hope the left is working.
The gremlock is stunned!
Roundtime: 4 sec.

That's a slash hit, isn't it? (If it's not they really need to reconsider redoing the messaging for that, heh...) On a whole though I'm very satisfied with the way precision works. It actually has been improved compared to the documentation that was given last year (that you couldn't aim and choose the damage type). It may actually be too powerful actually because pretty much almost every single hit to the eye landed with a dagger results in a death...

[Artha]

That's a slash hit, isn't it?

Nope. The messaging's wierd, but it's a puncture.
