You might find something on the class forums for brigands. If you don't find anything, you can always ask them. Brigand is a very strong PvP class, and there are lots of people playing them. I'm sure someone would be willing to help you out a little. Don't feel bad about not being able to kill a druid. Espesially in lower tiers, they can be very difficult to beat for most classes. But buy yourself some cure potions, and put them on your hotbar. Use them whenever rooted or snared.

<p>brig should be able to kill a fury at 20.  a warden is a wolf of another stripe though..</p><p>to the OP ; playing a toon to the full extent in PvP takes a lot of knowledge and skill.  don't expect to log in, grind to 20 on your first toon, and be able to kill somoene because "brigands are a good pvp class"</p>

Level up a bit, then you can use potions to break the root instantly. But you're not really telling us much here. What sort of skills do you have? Are they all at app1? What sort of skills does your fury friend have? What gear are you both wearing? All these things matter a lot at the low levels, far more than they do anywhere else.

I've been playing about 2 months and I'm just getting what I consider good at my SK.  I've been winning my share of fights for a while now, harm touch doesn't take much skill.  However, you know you're getting good when you have in your mind a scripted counter to about any class you encounter in pvp, or situation you find yourself in.  I'm to the point now that I don't use harm touch unless I'm outnumbered or being attacked while I'm engaged with mobs.  Its a nice equalizer when those two blue con's jump you, or when a cry baby Champion Ranger named Bangin keeps attacking you mid pull because you spoiled his infamy.

<p>His brigand is better geared than anything I have ever worn!</p><p><3 Ratfacekilla / Dannnybones</p>

<p>I honestly feel that you will get the most out of focusing on resists as a brigand.</p><p>Your number one contenders are going to be healers and decked out warlocks/wizards with Manashield.</p><p>If you can avoid their dmg by resisting it, or avoid their root by resisting it, your half way there already.</p><p>There is a TON of cheap treasured gear that has fantastic resists and at level 20 you can get darn close to 1000 in almost every resist.</p><p>You will get rooted or snared more than once per fight ushally, and if you resist the first you have the potion for the second, or vice versa.</p><p>GL out there, its a jungle.</p>

<p>To fight a healer a decent guide line is get the first attack off. then hit him with about half your ca's, then stun him. At this point pumice stone him if you have one, and if you alreay have a taunt use it. What I do on my swash vs strong healers is to use my burns intermittantly. I use both my haste and dps ones, and run about 2-3 auto-attacks and ca's off, then walk the plank, then pumice stone, and stun again. Then I throw inspiration up and kill them. If they are really good players maybe inspiration and engarde. The key thing is to time the stuns and knockbacks for when you can see them casting, or would be casting, like if you burned them to 10% in 2 seconds. </p>
