Ok Please tell me I am the problem? Ok do we have no chance against SK at 80 or what....SK just owns me quick and stupid troubs kite the crap out of me...I use potions and all that stuff and have tier 2 shard armor and all Adept III's and a couple of masters. Have the shard jewelry but no mythical. Generally just two box my 80 warden because I play at weird times. should I keep gearing out this Bruiser? Im interested in level 80 solo pvp with a little grouping. Any help would be appreciated!Thanks!

I have found that a bruiser is very dependent on gear, more so than the other tanks I’ve played. Before I had my mythical, decent gear and enough AA, I had issues with almost every class except assassins, now I only worry about SK’s (its 50/50 with a good SK), and this one free conj that for some reason has my number in pvp. So yea you need to get your gear lined out. That’s the bad news; the worse news is that most raiding guilds don’t consider a brawler useful enough to take on raids. The GOOD news however is that you’re a brawler and it is very easy to get very rich very quickly on a brawler. The Better news is that Vampiric patterns seems to drop like candy in TSO raids, so just find out who is selling patterns, and keep an eye out. Beyond that try to get into some pickup raids and show them that a brawler can be useful.

It basically requires alot of the same tactics as fighting another brawler... except imagine its a crazed emo vampire brawler in plate armor. Remember to stake, decapitate, and burn the corpse of any fotm sk abomination you kill.Brawlers, and bruisers in particular, should not lose to a kiting class...unless that troub outgears you to an absurd degree you just need to reach out and touch someone with sonic fist.<cite>Loche@Nagafen wrote:</cite><blockquote>I have found that a bruiser is very dependent on gear, more so than the other tanks I’ve played.

Bruisers are practically designed to annihilate mages and kiting classes. Though of course the myth and tso endline help immensely against melee dps.
