[originator]

Hello all. I just made a bruiser. and am going to pvp with him. For like lvl 22 pvp. Should I use just bare fists. Or buy the 22 fist wraps? or the 22 batons? I do intend on locking at 10 for aa. And which aa lines should i go down. for low lvl pvp. Thanks for the answers in advance.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there is a major change in brawler AAs happening today, so there isn't much we can offer in the way of proper advice until we see what the devs have finally settled on. However, if you really want unfounded assumptions and possibly wildly inaccurate advice, I would suggest getting some lvl 22 mastercrafted weapons (which are <i>roughly</i> similar in damage to barefists), and going down the INT and STA lines. Mantis Leap is incredibly useful in PVP, as is Eagle Shriek.  Something like 4/4/8/6/2 INT and 8/4/8/3/2 STA maybe. After that, I dunno. Go down the Bruiser DPS line and get drag, I suppose. EDIT : To forestall the usual pointless nitpicking.. lvl 22 mastercrafted weapons are kinda-ish similar to going 4/4/8 STR at lvl 22. Fists scale in damage, weapons do not, but if you're locking at lvl 22 it doesn't matter much. There certainly isn't enough of a different to be worth the expenditure of AA pts and the lack of adornments.
