UA vs Melee

[eramon]

Which one is better in the future for pvp and hunting, right now i have 40 with both but i rather level the most useful only.

[Kinky]

both

Unarmed affects many abilities in combat
while fully geared you have more potential for damage with melee

Most people go ua to at least 100ish before focusing any in melee

so focus ua
it won't be waste if ya switch melee later

"fully geared" ? armor raises the damage as well?

high ql weapon

From a steel plate, no, but there's some pieces of equipment beyond your weapon that will increase your damage. Thane's rings come to mind.

Though keep in mind that unarmed doesn't require initiative points to do damage. You can instantly begin kicking someone's face in with it. You can also double up on it with marksman and be a good all arounder. Also, why you'd want to use either melee or unarmed for hunting is beyond me. I did melee hunting in world 3 and it was kind of frustrating. Especially if you didn't get a one hit kill, you'd usually ALMOST kill it and send whatever it is running.

From what i read in the wiki, i guess i should raise ua for now, melee seems kinda useless unless you can get high q weapons.

Pure UA is better than pure MC.

To be any decent, you'll need 100 UC anyhow.
