Thats not true. Brawlers accuracy is good enough that they squeek out a spot ahead of a 2nd or 3rd sk.

Mmmm, not sure. I guess maybe if the 3rd SK only has adept 1's and no mythical, yeah maybe in that case!

Guilds don't suck, players do. It is unfortunate that our class is considered unnecessary by the overwhelming majority, but it is possible to find a good home. The monk is useful, so work at your craft. I remember when the game first came out the monk was tanking Single Target raid mobs better then the other plate tanks. These things work in cycles, how long were the SK's the shittiest tank before their current reign?

You just need to figure out your role. Don't switch toons as others suggested, thats just crazy talk.

Because Crusaders and Zerkers make better offtanks by quite a stretch. Alot of guilds have 1 brawler probably because the brawler is exceptional at his class, he's been in the guild forever, or they want someone to give the leather loot to.

Why would you ever want 2 brawlers in 1 raid? What can you do better than another offtank? Dps? Tank? I doubt it. Like someone else said earlier, having a mythical is a far stretch from qualifying you to be in a raiding guild, thats like the lowest possible requirement, like being level cap.......

What stone is trying to say is you have to be good at playing a brawler to get into stirke.

that is all

Its not that simple. As Raid leader of my guild I would like to have a monk in RF more than SK. SK can be used as OT but... there are better tanks for that spot. (Paladins, Zerks). SK can also DPS... but there are better DPS (Assassin, Wizards, Warlocks, Conjurors). At this moment I have no SK in RF and I do not miss them. Monk is good DPS, have raid wide speed bonuses. Fast Feign death (which can help a lot with certain raid mobs) and can support tank if nesecery.

Unfortunately you realy dont need to have two brawlers in raid.

SKs out-DPS Monks, have better raid buffs, and are more effective tanks with better survivability. By not using a SK over a monk you're effectively gimping your raid.

Considering like 90% of the raid are probably max tinkerers anyways, this provides next to no value.
