So today I created a Pre-Brawler, he's level 24, almost 25. Right now I'm using a Fish spear, at 25 I have a 15 accuracy, +7 scrolled pumpkin spear. I don't know when I switch to Knucklers instead of Pumpkin spear. I think at 40 right?

You could probably use the spear until like lvl 35, which I would recommend using a knuckle. By that time your accuracy should start to improve (with the right build).

Well the build in Takebacker's guide, says to do Max HP increase, so I'm going to do that.

Level 40 is a good point to switch to knuckles. Your weapon should hopefully be at least 50 attack.

definayely 35-40. i did 35, just cuz i liked playing with the new attacks XD Have a knuckler at lvl 35 and play around with it. When u like what u see with the knuckler better tahn what u see with the spear, stick with it.

35, because you will have mastery, booster, etc.

I switched at Lv35, when my Mastery + my Maple Knuckle gave more Acc than the Pumpkin Spear...I also liked Corkscrew and Backspin Blow :P

You guys DO realize there is a different damage formula for spears and knuckles for different skills, right? SSK Does different damage with the same attack weapon. I remember at lvl 30, I could do 1k with a knuckler with it but with the SAME attack spear, I could only do ~800 at the max and I hadn't even experimented with the knuckler enough to see my max.

The 1.2x damage you get from the spear will make it so you'll always hit higher using SSK no matter what the attack is. The only reason people switch to knuckles is mastery/booster/etc that make them kill faster.

Well I used a spear until I maxed HP increase. Actually, I continued using a spear because first of all, I didn't have a decently scrolled knuckle, and at the time I was mostly CPQing in 1/2 or 3/4 with the mobs. I switched at 40 because then I had some DU/Mastery (...Don't follow my unconventional build please) and I also had a somewhat-okay Neozard.
