Another Bruiser Down - Page 3

I believe DPS is our way to the Raid force.

U just need a guild that understands how good bruisers are, I can tank Gynok just fine when our Gaurd isnt there with the zerker tanking adds. I dont have avatar gear, sure Gynok isnt one of the hardest fights in TSO but its up there as far as difficulty for an avoidance tank tanking it.

We can still do what plate tanks do for the most part just slightly different.

Why take a bruiser when an SK is equal dps and a better tank. Why take a bruiser when you can take any other dps class and have them do more dps.

After raiding for a while it becomes very apparent why there are so few higher end bruisers.....noone wants to be busting ass dpsing and no matter what you do be behind any of the other dps'rs.

Soo....time for bruiser to goto farming toon! Go time on the troub.

Sad...really love the toon but refuse to feel like a burden to a raid group.

the 5% accuracy buff loss is gonna hit your guilds dps hard, specialy now that it will basicly stack with the proc nerf.
they should reconcider

In my perfect world they would consolidate classes, turn brawler into a DPS archetype like scouts, and DPS equal to a good rogue crappy predator.

Martial arts isnt a good tanking mechanic :\

no prolbem just give em backstab attacks to even things out and they can go ahead, sometimes ppl playing mages and tanks forget hows it to run and reposition appropriate to get max possible dps
it especially blows on fights where u hit damage shields and get ported , as a scout you loose lots of dps like that

You do realize bruisers have backstab atks? Its actually one of our biggest atks

Gosta Dirk · 06-21-2009, 06:27 AM

You say attacks..
We have 1, true its oneof our biggest, but it still only 1 attack

If they merge Bruiser and Monk, which I'm sure they wont, then making it a dps class would be plain stupid to do..
Not only do we have lots of different dps classes already, but loosing 2 fighters and getting 1m ore dps is just something that not even Soe would be stupid enough to do..

Merge the 2 classes and make us a better tank would be ok, but still something they would never do, no unless they merge the plate tanks also, so we only have 3 different kind of tanks..

Prugor · 06-21-2009, 11:19 AM

Merged both brawlers. Make them better tanks. Merge both summoners, make them better casters.

Add new class for xpac.

profit

Put me down as another casualty of soe not balancing classes for raids. Once my bruiser finishes getting all of his Ill Will he is retired from raiding. Hopefully they will make us more desireable next expansion.

My new class is an Illy which brings great dps and tons of utility to a raid force.

Crabbok · 08-11-2009, 04:45 PM

You sure your new class isn't a necro?

Novusod · 08-12-2009, 10:03 PM

Circle of Heros has a permanent raid slot for a necro and always has so they don't need a second necro. The fact that such an open guild would retire their bruiser shows what a deplorable state the bruiser class is in right now.
