Default Advice needed, tanking build for a duo...

Greetings folks!

Been a long time lurker here and I see this is where I can get a question answered. Any help is appreciated!

Myself and my wife duo on Venekor. She is a 63 Fury and I am a 63 Bruiser.

ATM I am specced 4,4,8,6,2 Str (UA) / INT with KO and Conditioning Lines as well.

I am getting to the point where it seems to be about time to start looking at other builds. And I recently found a Strifewing Bo for cheap on the broker. So I am wondering...

what would be the best AA build for a Bruiser in a PvE / PvP Duo like this in your opinions? Thanks in advance!

Can't offer any good suggestion for PvP, but for PvE you way wanna try:
AGI448
WIS44862
INT448

Just for brawler AAs,

for bruiser AAs, depending on what you have I'd try to max self heal, and then move to Knockout Combo, getting the major DPS CA's upgraded to at least 3 each.

would 4,4,8 agi / wis / int be viable until 70? Or would it be better to go all int / wis until then?

this is for a full 70 points(something you cant do till you hit level 70) but here goes for duoing PvE

Agi 44882
Wis 45882
Int 448

This gives you altruism as well as plenty of dps and survivability. If you accidentally pull too much and cant handle it, just fd and altruism will fd your wife after the mobs beat her to the point of dying. Best duoing combo i can think of.

for a duo build i would max out str/int lines TBH. usually you wont be getting more than 1 or 2 mobs anyway and it is easy enough for a brawler to hold agro vs 1 other person who is either simple healing or doing single target DPS. drop str line for wis to crane flock and agi 488 when you get enough points in brawler tree. tbh i would max out the brawler tree before touching the class trees, just to much tasty stuff there

So, for solo'ing and instance tanking on Nagafen, I'm currently spec'ed STR 44862 and INT 44862 and AGI 448. Chi combined with KOcombo is just amazing for burning things down (I parsed just under 2k on a single target with it last night)... My only regret is I wish I had another 16 points to spend on the STA line for the extra HP's and mantis bolt...

once you get the dekilium battering cudgel and another sweet weapon i would highly advise respecing out of str line to wis line for crane flock and collecting double attack gear. stuff is pretty surplus this expansion, and if im not mistaken the brawler fabled PVP DW is 4 delay as well, will go great with the cudgel (you bastards!)
