Bruiser mythical epic weapon

[Ganeden]

So, now that the mythical weapon is out, what do you guys think of it?My opinion:The damage spread is decent (for a mythical). We have a two <i>very</i> crappy procs, and depending on whether you're in the front or the back of the mob one of the procs will never work. The 10% damage reduction seems nice but how effective it really is remains to be seen.     The self heal is great... for soloing. How much soloing does a bruiser that has access to a mythical epic really do? I barely solo as it is. The 10 second tsunami is, once again, nice to have. It's certainly epic, but is it mythical? Especially with a crazy six minute recast? The Unglued Alchemists Amulet (which pretty much everyone has) + D&C or drag is just as good as that effect. What mythically equipped bruiser is going to be tanking instances anymore? The threat proc seems useless to me.The bottom line is that the producers still can't decide what to do with bruisers, we have this half dps half tank mythical epic. Which is basically half  useless to most  raiding bruisers because I know im my guild I'm certainly not the main tank. These are great effects for the fabled one as the bruiser community at that level still has a use for them but those of us actually raiding in the top end kunark zones are in our raids for one reason: DPS.

I don't plan on doing it for the simple fact that it will break my entire STR AA line.Honestly, the weapon slots don't have to be empty!  FFS, make an exception to handwraps!  They're not even a real weapon!

WHY are you using the STR line now!?

That's how the dev team sees brawlers, as a hybrid. Half tank half dps.  Which means we wont excel at tanking above other fighters and we wont excel at dps above other DPS classes (scouts/mages). What I see as the problem is that we dont exactly shine in dps above the other fighters anymore. I used to think we did but now I'm doubting it quit a bit.

I can't speak for raiding these days but in groups I outparse all other fighters and most scouts and mages on single targets. (Warlocks and Zerkers naturally do better on multiple targets.) I don't know how Monks and Pallies compare 'cause I can't group with 'em.</span>
