SK or Bruiser

[Regolas]

<p>I want to level up a tank alt on my second account.</p><p>The main reason is for PLing other characters on my main account but no doubt when I get him to cap I'll like playing him and want to progress him like all the other alts.</p><p>Now, for pure PLing purposes, I know SK's bring more to the table in AE abilities. However, I have just got a zerker to 92 on my main account and the reason I am thinking of rolling a bruiser is to have something a bit different. Let's face it, at cap with reasonable gear you don't need to be an "AE tank" to PL effectively.</p><p>Just wondering what peoples experiences are between the two. I'm worried if I roll an SK that it will be too similar to my zerker, so something a bit different would be good. So I'm leaning towards the Bruiser but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.</p>

<p>An SK isn't really at all like the zerker IMO.  </p><p>I find the SK more interesting than the Bruiser, so I have to recommend it.</p>

<p>Not an easy decision since you already have a Zerker (AE tank).</p><p>I have a SK as main and recently levelled up a monk to have a different kind of tank to run groups with, so I was in the same situation you're now in.</p><p>SK is a lot of fun, but Bruiser would probably the better decision if you're looking for something totally different from the Berserker.</p>

<p>Play what you want to play as you will be the one using it. The only thing a bruiser really has over a SK is close mind immunity for mass pulling CC mobs.</p>

That's the problem, I have no idea what I want to play. I like the idea of both, but I definitely don't want 3 tanks. I'll probably stick with the Bruiser simply because its a leather tank so a tiny bit different to plate. Better avoidance might make it feel a bit more unique. Long term goal is to have one of each archtype on each account, but I also don't want the exact same role for each. I know a tank is a tank, but in their current state, for example, zerkers are offtanks outside of heroics. So it makes sense to me to have my second tank as a MT type tank, otherwise, at cap, they'll be no reason to choose one from the other to play if they both fill the exact same role.
