Brawler. Especially when leveling, the new abilities granted, over and above your standard abilities, will help you far more than minor boosts to your current abilities. We don't get anything like Manaburn or Lifeburn. Nor do we get anything like a Necro's pet heals on debuff casts (major solo improvements). Bruiser tree abilities will eventually give you new things like Drag (control ability) and a Deaggro (for when you are pure DPS role). Brawler tree gives you things like Unarmed Attack becoming better than most weapons (see the various posts about this in this forum). Or more AE damage (wisdom line gives procs, etc). Or Crits, or +skill, etc. Honestly, I'd definately suggest putting your first points into getting 8 points into the third Strength line ability (so 4, 4, 8 in Strength) and then going for Crits in the Int line. From there, you can decide where to go.
