They also have a lot of health and do good damage as a pet, so that’s just a nice little bonus. With the Rank 5 Animal Whisperer Perk (Spirit Animal), Stags give you a +20% Melee Damage bonus.

What you’re going to want to do is make a character with high Strength, Coordination, Speed and either Intelligence or Luck (I prefer Intelligence). You can use the same build just fine with Melee Weapons instead of Brawling.

That said, this doesn’t have to be a Brawling build. Not only that, if you’re capable of making some morally dubious choices, you get (arguably) the best Brawling weapon in the game extremely early, about 1/4th of the way through. What separates Brawling from the other forms of Melee Combat is that once you’ve achieved level 10 Brawling, Brawling attacks only cost 1 AP. Let’s kick things off our Wasteland 3 builds with a build that outputs a lot of damage but may require a little more micromanagement than you would like.
