Weapons for a new bruiser

[Hayt]

HiI've read the forums pretty thoroughly and it seems it is best to go unarmed once you have 4/4/8 in the STR line.But until then whilst getting the AAs can anyone recommend the best weapon or weapons?Thanks in advance!

OFC, that depends on your level. But Mastercrafted Imbued weapons are just fine til the STR line is ready. Get the stats with STR and AGI. DW or other are just fine too..though some may have a stronger opinion on that than i do. If you don't have the money for the Mastercrafted, then search the Broker for the best tresured you can find or quest for somethng in your level.

Ok ThxBut are 1 handed or two handed weapons the best thing to go for?Plus excuse my ignorance but can bruisers only use crushing weapons?

in levels 1-50 the only weapons you'll see and find for brawlers are indeed crushing, but in the end we can have any odd assortment as long as our name is on it. As it stands the level 72 MC stuff has slashing and piercing fist weapons. I myself currently(though i'd rather have 2 of the same) am using 1 crushing and 1 piercing. The MC batons work great and are what i used all the way to level 70. You can even adornment with a the phantom handles which help out power greatly, but if you dont have the money for those use bare fists till about lvl 65, then pick and choose what you want. I'd recommend trying to find weapons with higher than 2 sec delays at that point though.

Hi all - thought I'd sneak in my question on an existing thread...Does unarmed actually mean <b>empty</b> weapon slots?  Logically it does - but just want to make sure it's not 'fist' weapons as well.Only got 2 AAs so far, so I'll carry on with my weapons for a while yet.
