Bruisers, Monks, and groups?(question)

[Yreff]

<DIV>Wondering...do both classes have the same role in groups and are both effective and at least wanted in groups?What do we mainly do in groups?</DIV>

Up to lvl 30ish tank or generic_filler_05, approx 35 and up DPS. Pickup groups on my server don't exactly look for Bruisers, might be because there are like 10 active though. <div></div>

<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=3>Yeah, agree with Cygnii.  I actually tanked more often from levels 40-50 than I did before that. Monks (and bruisers, I would think) can tank any non-raid content in the game.  That said, in pickup groups where there is already a plate tank of apx equal level, it is generally easier to let them tank and pop the avoidance buff on them.  There are still a lot of people out there who don't have confidence in light armor tanks.  Our DPS is very good, and we can grab adds well, so we perform the offtank/DPS role quite well.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=3>Of course, if the plate tank doesn't know what they're doing . . . you can offer to tank a few and see whether you meet resistence from the group.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=3>If your question is whether we can get groups, I never had an issue with that.  Could generally find groups quite easily.</FONT></DIV>
