<p>I think your gonna hit a snag in this department, everything i've read about this is sorta just basically neutral... they are very similar... Monk is supposed to have longer sustained DPS vs a bruiser is very much burst DPS oriented... so that is good for PVP, as the quicker you kill someone the less likely they will survive to kill you <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />... which is good for healers, you devastate them before they can even think of popping emergencies or other heals and you win the fight fast, as opposed to slower damage, they have time to cast heals and damage spells etc... so i like that portion of it..</p><p>One thing i love about bruiser that Monks dont have is 30 second (master spell) immunity to all control effects except charm... that makes fighting mages and healer very nice, as they cant fear you, root you , mez you, stun/stifle you...... and you have a 30 second insane boost to dmage that knocks down enemies with every hit, (knockout)  that really helps with fighitng mages and priests, they can have stun / stifle pots on them but they arent immune to being tossed around like a rag doll..</p><p>With AA bruisers get a 12 second parry all ability and chain mitigation, which is very similar to Monks Tsunami and monks mythical... so 2 of Monks primary advantages are also available on Bruiser as well...</p><p>Monk can heal anyone, bruiser can only heal themselves... another great ability of bruiser is Drag... it forces their target on you for 4 seconds and you drag them around like an old Blanket from your childhood, all the meanwhile you can beat on them... so again for caasters and healers, great, because if they are moving, they cant cast.....   You couple that with your Sonic Drag ability and you can, from ranged, teleport into their group, hit drag real fast and teleport that person with you to your group, makes it great for pulling out tanks or healer or main assists for that group, or their evacers <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> so they have no method of escape and have to fight an die <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
