Bruisers need not apply.

For those not familiar with Gozak players in your raid possess a mob to help you kill Gozak. The possessed mob has over 10 million HP so healing it with normal heals doesn't work well. If you have a monk in the raid he can cast mend on the possessed mob and because mend is a percentage based heal it will heal the possessed ally mob for 5 to 6 million HP. Pretty LEET but it is a trick we bruisers can't pull off because our heal is self only. As more guilds get to the point of killing Gozak any raid bruisers left they will be switching to Monk or replaced by another Monk.

Not asking for Monk nerfs or anything but where is the mob that having a bruiser on will save the day? Does anyone at SoE care about bruisers or class ballance anymore or does the left hand not know what the right hand is doing when they make these things up?

Are you joking? Gozak is dominated by bruiser, We get a tsunami he can't strikethough and kill us with, We get a drag that pulls the mob back up the ramp and away from the raid incase someone is slow on clicking in, Our stoneskin also allows us to survive a Gozak's Strike should we be hit by it once... Etc Etc Etc.

Sounds like the mob needs it's HP's to be divided by 100 and then get a buff that makes it take 99% less damage!

Since when do drag(or any target locks) work on Gozak? And which tsunami is dodge? Mythical is parry and tso one is deflection? The physical stone skin is also shared by both brawlers unless you mean the spell stone skin. Mend is also not needed.

Our mythical is Dodge, NOT parry.

Cory is right, bruisers do Own for Gozak. You can hit myth, or you can combine Inner Focus with Indominatable Will and thats kinda like a second Tsunami. Yes the monk heal is nice, but it's only a crutch for people who don't kill the mob fast enough. As a bruiser, the first thing I do is toss my avoid buff on the mob to help reduce some of it's incoming damage, and honestly that should be all you need.

Target locks don't work as bruiser but Drag certainly does. A combination of Rescue and Control Hate will 99% of the time get aggro after a Talthyus dies and allow you to run it around until the next person is situated. Although with the 2% heal change that isn't needed as much anymore. The Stoneskin I am speaking of is Stone Deaf as Gozak's Strike hits for 140% max health focus damage 3 times, So that's just the right amount of absorbs that we live from it.
