Default Re: which is better Monk or Bruiser????

hmm.. ive played a bruiser since launch .. and up to recently i would say bruisers are better ... but having gained wisdom with my experience i can now say it doesnt matter at all. We have a monk in our guild that is so badass , its hard to keep up with him on the parse.
He tanks just as well if not better than me. A good player will make a gimp class like brawlers kick ass. Yes i said gimp(uncontested avoidance ftl) .. .that is for another forum topic though.

Try not sucking at your class, then your view on the situation will change.

Default Re: which is better Monk or Bruiser????

With having both classes now I feel I can comment on this even though the thread is old as dirt. But, any thread asking which is better will usually keep going. So, hopefully if anyone still unsure about this famous question, will read below. This is coming from experience with playing both Classes for some time now. So, if you don't have 2 or haven't played both...why are you commenting?

Who is the better tank Hate wise?
I find the monk to be better in my opinion. 149 Haste self buff (not including proc from the hat that drops off PHH) with the hate buff on, it makes it easier.

Who is the better tank Mitigation wise? I feel Bruiser has this. No other comment.

More useful in raids?
I would say monk for the fact they have the group FD and can use their heal on anyone, even though Bruiser's heal is on a 1min 30sec timer it still doesn't help if they can't use it one anyone else. To the monks that do raid, how many have landed heals on the MT for 5k? Its very helpful in those "Oh shit wtf are you afk healers?" situations.

Who is better dps?
This is group and raid wise, Bruiser...hands Down. Monks, don't even try to argue this fact. Bruisers offensive and middle stances have procs just as Brigands and swash(?) So, if you burst dps, just blowing your load all at once...you can still auto attack and do alot of dmg based on the stances. Monks have a lot of haste, thats all.

AA Lines?
If you are basing your decisions fully on this just shut the fuck up now. Because you're a fucking retard.

Who is Better in Player vs Player?
Bruiser. Thats all I can say on that part. I love my pvp bruiser and barely play my 70 brigand.

Who is the Better Solo'er?
Here is the question that most will probably say Monk for because of Outward Calm and Tsunami. Its a tough call imo, Bruisers pump out the dps and monks just...meh, perhaps Tsunami is to make up for the lack of dps. Using dps vs Tsunami as the example because Bruisers could kill it faster and Monks need that extra duration to get it down...Either way, both classes solo really well.

Overall Who Holds the Better Spot? Thats a tough call, really depends on what you want imo. Do you want to be high on the parse? Do you want to be more helpful (Face it..Brawlers are just about as helpful as a dead wizard or warlock on a raid...But I Still love em) Do you want to tank? (Don't tell anyone you made a monk just to tank) Do you want to be able to hold your own solo?

I agree with everything you said basically, but touching this part since you didn't want to; bruisers have the superior AA tree b/c of retribution of stone. Monks get 1 riposte every 60s.

This shit is so necro but it's pretty obvious bruisers are better than monks.

QFE

Edit: The body line on the monk isn't bad imo. Increase your heal amount (Which you can as bruiser as well) The Mit increase, the reuse on Tsunami and forgot what the Outward Calm did. Its a toss up for aa's.

I want a Devastation Fist damage Increase for the god damn long ass Stifle.

Default Re: which is better Monk or Bruiser????

Well I own neither, so im pretty unbiased. But I think both are worth bringing to raids.


Rabid Cry from the Bruiser, 20% more effective taunts/detaunts?! I mean thats pretty amazing if you ask me.


+20 Haste from the Monk? And [i didnt realize until reading this post] the increase to spellcasting speed?

I mean both can do pretty amazing DPS for a raid, and they both can FD.



To me, not only are brawlers great DPS'ers, but they're the 'Oh-Shit-Bars' of raiding :D

WHen shit hits the fan, and the brawlers knows what their doing, they can save raid-wipes [monks with their amazing heal], [bruisers with their drag, pretty neat if you ask me] and much more
