Monks and Bruisers ....strike a pose!!!!

[Klerico]

<p>Mr. Monk/Bruiser:</p><p>          First of all I want to say that after playing some of the classes here in EQ2 I decided to roll either a monk or bruiser. I had this nostalgic feeling of emptyness becasue I never got to play one in EQ1.I admit I'm a sucker for looks.  I want to see how monks and bruisers look using their respective wepons at higher levels. I  google'd it but not many are posted. So, Lets see who can take the coolest picture of their monk or bruiser.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Future Monk or Bruiser.</p><p>ps: I'm not asking who is better or what race to play one in. I decided I'm going to be a cat. This is for the fun of it.  So have fun striking a pose for the camera. Good luck.</p>

<p>Monks have better animations. Period.</p><p>Weapon appearance is basically the same.</p><p>Sorry I have no picts.</p>

<p>I have a monk and a bruiser -- both female Iksar.</p><p>They have the same animations.</p><p>Maybe for other models they're different.</p>

<p>Good point Gilasil. I have both a human monk and bruiser. My monk does have more and different animations than my bruiser. So I guess that each race will have different animations.</p>

<p>Bruisers more like mui tai which is a slower form of kickboxing in a sense <strong>but much harder hits, monks get mostly lightning looking attacks and even a teleport kick later, anyways they are very fast and agile and can take more damage.</strong></p>

Because that's a Brawler AA ability, and Bruisers can get it too.</p>
