Where to put AAs after 50 in Brawler?

[digitalfre]

I've already maxed out the 50 points in the Brawler tree via STR/INT on my 57 Monk.  Since I'm maxed out, I'm assuming I have to start going down the Monk tree now.  What's the best strategy for that, considering I spend 95% of my time soloing?

<p>I am now leveling up a monk  (currently 32nd level, 38 aas) but have also played a bruiser to 70.    I am quite interested in this question.   On my bruiser, my first move on the class specific tree was to enhance my self heal.   I assume that's also the right answer on the monk.   After that, not sure for monk but for bruiser I maximized all the pluses to damage and took the "drag" ability.   I've read elsewhere that the monk "combo" end-line ability is worthless.   Interested to hear everyone's thoughts.</p>

I'm in the same position, I just maxed out the brawler tree. I'm going to start with the heal as well.

I don't have it myself so I can't really say if it is worth getting for a mostly solo toon but it might be nice for mobs that cast big spells on the pull. </p><p>I would put the remaining points in either the punch or jab lines. Punch if your "to hit" skills aren't very high and Jab if you seem to have problems with waiting on refresh timers. Both will help so its kinda up to what helps your playstyle imo. </p><p>Sorry I jumped around a bit instead of going in order but I am going off memory here. Hope it helps.</p>
