<p>My brigand is 32 and my bruiser is 21. To make a short story I do enjoy my brigand more then my bruiser,  while grouping and ( track/ invis) are 2 things that I like a lot. And as a tinkerer the bruiser FD is not really a breack over point. (at 350 in skill Iwill have a 99% FD, atm I have a 50% one and I will have another one 75%) And they do not share the same re-use time.</p><p> But due to my playtime I do mostly solo. So when I wanna have some chalange I do run solo into various dungeons and hunt for the nameds. (more  for fun then for farming). I do know that a bruiser can solo harder mobs then brigand. But is the difference is that big ?</p><p>If their is only a few place/ mobs that a bruiser can solo that a brigand can't I will probably stick with him as my main and my bruiser as my alt.</p><p>but if I am stuck with doing only a few named solo and only a few dungeon while a bruiser could do higher tier dungeon solo. I might considerer making my bruiser my alt.</p><p>P.S. sorry for my poor english</p>

The only area I see a bruiser being able to kill harder things than a brigand would be on multi-mob encounters.   Brigands lack the tools to properly deal with these.    They can be done, but so far in my 56 levels of play it seems to come down to luck on some of the harder encounters.     On a single mob, I think brigands would have the advantage.

Since the bruiser is only 21, I would probably ditch him in favor of a necro for farming & named.  You'll have to do quests to get the pet AAs.  They are actually an extremely weak solo class without the AAs.  Tainted heals is where it's at.  Oh, and did I mention they have a 100% FD?

I do enjoy a lot both my bruiser and my brigand so my choice is down to 1 of them only. But ty for your advice.

As time will go by you will find the brigand better at soloing mobs with the stun lock routine and the heal potions + if you have FD its even better..
