Returning Player

[Epochal]

<p>My friends and I have decided to reroll and they've chosen a Wizard and Inquisitor. I'd like to play a tank class to kinda round out the group, but I've played a monk before and would like something a little different. Bruisers seem nice but skills seem too similar.</p><p>SKs sound cool, but they've chosen good so an evil class would make grouping at the beginning impossible? It's been several years since I've played so I can't remember if that causes problems throughout the game or just problematic with starting areas? Any suggestions are welcome.</p>

<p>Bruiser is a lot of fun if that is what you decide to go with.</p>

As I mentioned in the first post I played a monk before and it seemed very similar to the bruiser at least in skills the first 10 levels or so I played already. Do they differ greatly at later levels? I originally played the monk up until level 70 and I'd hate to basically reroll the same toon all over 4 or 5 years later, lol.</p>

<p>Both Monk and Bruiser play a lot differently then they did back in T7 when you last played. Both brawlers are very solid tanks now. You won't get a good feel for how any class plays until the upper levels. Monk is a single target tank while the bruiser is more of an AE tank. There is also a matter of buffs. Inquis buffs haste which helps bruiser more than monk since monk can cap their haste with solo buffs and a bruiser can't.</p><p>Hope this helps you.</p>
