new to bruiser

[g3n0k0m0]

<p>I was wondering if i could get a few opinions from current bruisers.  I am new to bruiser but i used to play a monk on eqoa which is totally different.  My general question is can i look foward to anything with leveling a bruiser.  I am basically leveling my bruiser up with my friend who is a inquis  so i dont have to worry about a group. i already have a good guild also, but i wonder what is the future of the class.  I have read on the forum that making the bruiser spec for dps is not the best way to go but can it somehow work?  Can a bruiser output any respectable damage?  i seem to do good damage right now but thats with full MC gear and Masters.</p>

<p>Bruisers can put out good dps, but like many classes, we are very gear dependant. </p>

<p>Gotta go with Crabbok on this, we CAN do good dps but it comes down to gear and knowing your CA's. Go check out an AA build and go from there.</p>
