[TheVipeR]

<DIV>I chose Kerra, seemed to be a pretty good balance in stats and i've always wanted to play one.</DIV>

[Roddy]

<DIV>Half Elf. So far i like the look.</DIV>

[Papgn]

<DIV>Dwarf is the only way to go!  I still get chuckles watching Brega do his spin kicks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Gnome</DIV>

[Shel]

<DIV>I started off Gnome, but then settled on Half Elf.  Decent balance of stats, and Great Look.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Shelza</DIV>

<DIV>Wood Elf Bruiser here</DIV>

Dark elf here.

[Dovifat]

Kerra, fits the bruiser class in looks, mentality and stats - what more could you possibly ask for ?

[lordofdrago]

The purpose of a tank is to hold a mobs attention, to take the beating while the rest of the group lays it to rest. In groups of 4 to 6, we take on mobs that are MUCH tougher than use individually.Traditional, heavy armor tanks will, and should, always make the best tanks. They will get more often than we will but heavy plate should reduce the actual damage taken by a large amount. Heavy armor tank don’t plan on not getting hit, they plan on getting hit, surviving it and returning the favor. The heavy tanks should also have more hit points as well.As a Bruiser with no armor, we can't be surprised that we get beat badly in these circumstances. Our defense is based on avoiding blows. The problem in a large group is that we are not going to consistently avoid blows from mobs that have much higher attack skills than our defense skills. Our focus is NOT to be primary tank. We can off tank in a pinch, we can sometime intervene some damage of the primary tank to spread the damage and buy the primary more time between healing or intervene for the healer or casters. Our focus is to deal out melee damage. If we can deal out damage, help reduce the damage taken by others using stuns and knock downs or intervene some damage for some of the other group members, then we are doing our job. Balance is only a level 21 Bruiser, so I honestly don't know how well we fulfill our role in the medium and high end game but that’s I think how it should work.Balance Blackrain21 Half Elf Bruiser

<DIV>Sheesh, am I the only Iksar Bruiser (almost there!) out there? o.o;</DIV>

[RDescha]

<DIV><FONT size=2>Chose a human myself. Hell with all the rat, gnome, kitty, ogre, barbarian, etc, bruisers you see, human is almost a UNIQUE choice. lol, Seriously, I don't think I've seen another HUMAN bruiser yet! This could be just bad luck, or the fact that there aren't many bruisers period could contribute as well...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Regardless, I like humans look and feel (well ya know, I am one...) even if it's not the most different choice there is. And you can't beat their stat balance, just seemed logical to me. Wouldn't pick another class for the world, and it's all about what makes you happy isn't it? <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></FONT></DIV>

I know what your talking about lordofdragons I am also a human 1 lvl away from Bruiser. I don't see to many humans, not to mention Bruisers, which is just the way I like it.

[Psyker3]

Gnome of course. I don't see any other viable option. Gnomeish power !

[Teche]

<DIV>Barbarian here.</DIV>

[Ruebb]

You guys are all in denial, there's only one real option for a bruiser: Dwarf! Which offcourse means that I'll have to do a betrayal. But I'll be a happy dwarf doing that! Cannot understand those who betray Freeport... Qeynos is a real, real sick place... "oh, if I only had a mug of jum-jum" *shudder*

<DIV>im a troll bruiser.  i hate trolls though they look **mods 4 teh win!!1!** just like in eq1.  i only chose a troll because i thought they got regen and i figured they would nerf fungi tunic type items in this game because its sony we are talking about.  to my surprise trolls suck and dont even have regen.  then i was happy at lvl 18 when i got regen! i was like finally i knew i made the right choice! BUT NO its a crappy regen.  it lasts 2 min and can be used every 30min out of battle.  i know everyone gets these useless skills but i dont know, i just wanted some 4hp extra regen.  seems like races are useless in this game since its SO balanced.  in fact its so balanced that casters have like 10-20% less hp than me, wow gg.</DIV>

<DIV>Ogre, the TRUE Bruiser race!</DIV>

[Bjarne]

<blockquote><hr>Manueles wrote:<DIV>Oger Bruisa here *spits* </div><hr></blockquote>There is no substitute!

[Orionv]

<DIV>OGRE. You can't beat their strength. For racial traits I've piled on even more strength. I want to CRUSH my enemies! Not dance around them like you pansy gnome and halfling bruisers. I don't plan on avoiding hits with good agility. I'm all about pure all out melee damage. Not to mention if bruiser's primary attribute is strength, I can only assume our power reservoir will be determined by strength as well. More strength, the longer we can dish out damage before running out of power.</DIV>

[JonnyBlaaze]

<DIV>ratonga baby</DIV>

[Topposhishi]

I'd have to go with ogre/barbarian. Both have a hard time adjusting to civilization and are most likely to be found in the city wrestling for money. Trolls/iksar are too spiney in my opinion. Their tiny fist would do piercing damage <span>:smileyindifferent: All other races are too small <span>:smileytongue:</span> Shakhaxis, barbarian bruiser of Lavastorm </span><div></div>

<div></div>My Bruiser is a Kerra =) Edit: Oh, and I agree. An Ogre would likely make the best overall Bruiser. If I could change my species I would be an Iksar though. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Kitoshi on <span class=date_text>07-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:27 AM</span>
