While that does sound very cool, I don't see how it coudl give us any utility. 99% of the time it woudl end up taking an attack from the mob, so could really only give us an extra CA.

We need utility, not just more dps.

Really depends on which ability you take from the opponent. If it's a group heal...

Default Re: Bruisers in the next expansion

About epic tanking and a good raid wide... I don't think we can expect both. Certain epic's are fine but most should be dodge parry ...splat. We do wear leather armor so I am not expecting to tank everything.

However I don't feel the same way about off tanking or trying to pickup a mob on the fly. If we die in .2 secs without a mythical timer on or a death save or whatever we have no utility in tanking to a raid. This is sad because we have the option with rumble,shiftiness,divide & conquer,AA line rescue or major deagro,regular rescue,drag and feign death of playing with the agro for a quick pickup and then loss back to a rebuffed main tank.

There is not a easy fix to this class but maybe by giving us a few new options in our AA lines they can let a player decide. Str line could be unlocked but nerfed a little when carrying weapons as to not be OP...but this could lead to a true dps line for bruisers and just the same the int or agi lines could be tweaked for a true option of tank spec. Have to add if I could get one wish now it would just be to make no writs update when in raid... raid pvp is ruining this game. Wake up soe.

Hopefully with a 3.3billion dollar loss so far on PS3 they might actually want my 15 bucks a month enough to listen.

About tanking, i know Storm's top monk tanked Avatar of hate as Main tank. He had healers, the mob was debuffed and even if he didn't thought it would happen, it actually did. When the mob is fully debuffed, it gets easier to avoid a certain death.
I think bruisers can do really fine, and even our skill debuff is better than the monk's debuff, though i would love one or two more WORTHY debuffs, or maybe make the temporary miti buff permanent. (if my memory is good, the monk's haste buff is permanent , the one that draws hp. why not do the same for bruisers ? a 900 more miti wil lnto make us so uber we'll be overpowered.)
As for the STR line i wouldn't mind some changes, changing this column will not remove the possibility to new players to solo. there are other AAs setups that are really descent.
What they made with STR is just the easy solo/leveling mode, useless in high content, raid, and even grouping at lvl 80 imo; when the other lines provide choices and diversity.

I dont think it matters what we want. The developers seem intent to just shit all over the fighter classes and really shit on bruisers and SK's.

Seriously 3 fucking raid slots for a single class? How much more overpowerd can they make dirges, illys.

Not a single raiding guild on my server is recruiting a bruiser.

Our best hope is that SOE hires a developer who plays a bruiser.

For everyday grouping and soloing we are a great class.

For raiding, meh, I dont see what we bring to raids thats monk cant do better.

Which is why high level raiding bruisers are pretty rare compared to monks.

A raid wide knockout would be awesome, I think that would boost our utility in raids the most.
