PVP Bruiser needs some help

[b4tem4n]

<p>I have come back off a long break and I have to say I am sort of surprised with changes.  Normally I come back to this game and it doesn't seem like any real changes have taken place.</p><p>Really diggin the progressive downloader instead of the massive everything at once download.</p><p>So I am on a pvp server with my 24 bruiser and 16 AA, pretty sure that sucks on AA but I was young and dumb when I made him so very long ago. </p><p>My question is what is the best spec for that level of AA to solo level and be somewhat effective in pvp?  Also, are we still better off not having any sort of weapon equiped?  I remember there used to be handwraps or something, but for some reason a bruiser really didn't want them.  Lastly, I don't have TSO, or SF, is there any pressing reason for me to get those right now given I am only 24?</p>

<p>For leveling and PvP you'll want to work down the tiger (strength) and eagle (intelligence) lines first to get the double attack and crit. By the time you have enough AA to max these out you should hopefully be higher level and in a better position to make you own decisions. Only AA in the brawler try to really stay from would be the agility line passed the second row.</p><p>You wont be missing anything from TSO or SF until you get to around L70 or so. A lot of the changes people are excited about pertain mostly to the higher levels of the game.</p><p>I would suggest trying to keep your AA at around 1.5x times your level, push up your AA slider to accomplish this.</p><p>I would suggest equipping weapons, the most important thing would be you get two weapons of matching delay. If you can afforded master crafted weapons (and gear) than that's the way to go really, if not, hand crafted is still an excellent choice.</p><p>That should be enough info to get you started, best of luck in your adventures!</p>
