What weight does a Bruiser hold?

[patrickhvr]

I've read threads on bruisers and I'm not real sure what there real role is.  Threads will start with bruiser in mind then things kind of take a left turn and the bruiser is out of discussion.  I've seen off tank, main tank, ect.  Mines only level 15, but I love playing him. This is what I see (on my server anyway) 1. Low bruiser numbers 2. No burning desires to have them in groups 3. Mediocre damage 4. If there a higher tier bruiser, they destroy <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> 5. Lower tiers are tough to play(personal experience) I'm going to play this bruiser, but I guess what I'm saying is why are they one of those classes that are hardly mentioned or used?  Or are they important in raids?  They don't seem to have a ton of beneficeries like a plate tank or a scout or a casting class.

<p>They are very fun and useful in solo and group play, not very required in raids but that doesnt mean they do not contribute to a raid force.</p><p>If you plan on raiding most of your play time, and are worried about a min/max guild not taking you, then make another class, otherwise play what you enjoy.</p>

Yeah I don't plan on dropping this toon.  In all MC and knuckles and all that nonsense I do a decent job.  Even in PvP I destroyed 2 wardens lvl 15 group together on Butcher Block docks.  I love the resists, parrys, and all that.  Cant wait to hit 37 and put my Blood Iron Gear own and run around killing people lol.

I love my bruiser in pvp...specced right you can basically kill any class if you play it right.  (maybe not templars and monks can be tough)
