Brawler: The Art of Punching, Smashing, and Stabbing
Tough warriors designed for melee combat and direct confrontations with enemy forces. Brawlers are extremely difficult to incapacitate and can act quickly in combat. Brawler is the cornerstone of everything melee in Star Wars Galaxies. At Novice you are granted a dagger cert and left to stab and punch your way to the top. Novice Brawlers also gain a few weapon specific special attacks. By Master (if you choose that path) you will have a clear understanding of the inner workings of melee combat, along with many advanced special attacks for each melee weapon type. We also get the coolest clothes when making a character.
Getting Started
Combat: To fight a creature or NPC, you merely need to approach the target and double-click(or choose Attack from the target's radial menu). Start out by fighting creatures that have a green or light blue star burst icons next to their HAM bars (these are creatures you can defeat with relative ease). Because you'll be using melee combat, you'll need to be fairly close to your target before attacking.
Special Attacks: You begin with four basic attacks each associated with a different weapon. To review your special moves, open the Combat tab in your Abilities screen (ctrl + a). You can use any special move by dragging it into your toolbar and clicking on the corresponding Function key (F1 - F12) when in combat. Make sure you have the proper weapon equipped (double-click on a weapon in your inventory to equip it).
Earning Xp
One-handed, Two-handed, Polearm and Unarmed Combat: You can advance up any of the four disciplines in Brawler by defeating creatures or NPCs using the appropriate weapon (or, no weapon if you're advancing through the Unarmed Combat discipline).
Earning Credits
Brawlers can earn credits by taking the Destroy or Deliver missions ( from mission terminals or NPCs) and by looting defeated enemies.

BESERK: While berserk, you cause more melee damage to your targets but get hit more often in return.
CENTER OF BEING: This command will cause your character to focus on avoiding combat blows. This will only apply when you are weilding a melee weapon.
