This is just my idea of what would be a viable replacement to the stunning mitigation line that the brawler currently has. I've heard 70% of people say that they don't use it ever, so that might be a notice that it's basically useless except for maybe one or two rare situations.As for my idea: It's a self buff that takes up two concentration slots like our other buffs. There are timers within it, much like En Garde, that trigger when they go off, yet the actual buff stays up. Monk version: Catch Chi: Absorb one magical attack every 45 seconds (of any type, direct or AE) and counterattacks with a magic-based attack, Chi blast, which deals one hit of 500 to 700 damage (CAN BE RESISTED) and stifles non-epics for 1.5 seconds.Animation would be similar to the ending part of the silent fist kata animation and would be forced to play, so people could tell when it went off. Bruiser version: Catch Fist: Blocks one physical/ranged attack every 45 seconds (of any type, direct or AE) and counterattacks with Flurry Fist, a three hit attack for 200-300 crushing per hit (works the same as one hundred hand slap, if one attack misses the ones after it will too) and stuns non-epics for 1.5 seconds.Animation would be the multiple chop attack portion of the dreadnaught kata and be forced to play over whatever animation was currently playing, so people could tell it went off.NOTE: It is not a 100% chance to absorb the damage on the magical attack or 100% chance to block the physical attack, it would scale with about the same percentage as the feign death line, with it being about 97% at master in the T7 skill. The damage would scale also.This is just an idea on a buff, flame away or add comments.<div></div>
