Benefits and Drawbacks of using Fist Fighting without a weapon
The primary benefit of fist fighting is that you do not need a weapon to hunt. This not only gives you more capacity, but it also allows you to save money from purchasing weapons.
The primary drawback of fist fighting is that it will always have a lower attack than any other melee skill that uses a weapon. You do not benefit from the attack and defense values that weapons have.
History
Fist Fighting was not widely used. Since there were no weapons that utilized this skill, it always had a weaker attack than any other skill of the same level.
Knights used fist fighting more than any other vocation, since it advanced much quicker for them (similar to the other Melee skills).
Paladins used fist fighting as a back-up skill in case they ran out of or to save on Bolts or Arrows.
Druids and Sorcerers didn't often use fist fighting since it advanced quite slowly for them, and they had much stronger alternatives; however, it did advance slightly quicker than their weapon skills. One case where fist fighting would have benefited these vocations was if they ran out of Runes and Mana. In this case, they would still have been able to defend themselves. Though Druids might have benefited more from fist fighting, as some weak creatures were immune to a few of their rods.
