per test update notes 2/27/08... along with a bunch of other changes,

Bruiser

Ignore Agony will now update properly from its achievement enhancement.

Monk

Peel has changed slightly to only lock the target for a short duration while giving a larger hate gain. On termination it also supplies a smaller amount of hate over time to the monk.


yay :p

Cunningham

Great news. Sad to see the peel nerfed it is quite valuable at times. The AA's working again is wonderful.

Staxx

wonder if they are going make us wait for the next LU b4 they make these changes....

and i agree... having a monk in the raid with peel is helpfull for those RoK fights where the mobs seem to mem-wipe constantly

Nerfing peel will never make bruisers raid viable.

Although 2 monks locking named and trivilzing encounters in vp may well be the reason peel was nerfed.

I would however hope the developers would remove the stun from BOTH brawlers short duration mitgation buff.

and i would love to see DC turned into a forced encounter ability instead of a half encounter ability.

Overwhelming

Well now I can laugh to almost all the Bruisers who betrayed to Monks for this only particular reason....Of course your raid haste still give you guys an edge but...not as overpowered

Finally some balance....Now redesign our epics plz!!!

its never good to see any class being nerfed. This is going to hurt monks but having already been a raiding monk and betraying to bruiser to raid at a higher level, i dont see how this nerf will make those who recently betrayed to monk betray back? This didnt make bruisers any more raid worthy it just made monks less.

Sony need to test stuff properly before giving it to people then taking it off them again.

Really mature of you. Nerfing a monks ability doesnt do a damn thing to make the bruiser any more needed in a raid. I am sorry that you are such a butthurt that you have to cheer changes that make other classes less raid viable. When they nerfed drag or yoru raidwide buff form dps modifier to ca damage it wasnt a reason to cheer.

take it however you want, but the yay was to ignore agony being fixed.. even though its taken WAY too long.

the peel nerf was just relevant to a topic we'd all been discussing in recent history, so I snipped it too.

In retrospect, probably bad placement on the "yay" part of my post, though everything else was strictly copy and paste

Xxad

it only took them like a month to fix ignore agony? im sure that took their programmers 5mins to fix only makes sense that it somehow took forever to fix when we told em about it the day the messed it up gg sony.

Brawlers need to stick together and not be happy when one or the other gets nerfed we are both doing pretty bad in the wanted on raids category monks doing a lil better then us but still
