Just wondering what everyone's preferred weapon(s) are for the Bruiser. I used bare fists all the way up to level 20, but around level 21 I started using (and still am) two Ebon Quarterstaves. They were orange when I purchased them from the Broker and at level 26 con yellow. However, I can't use these fantastic weapons forever *sob*. I'd like to know what higher level Bruisers prefer.<p>Message Edited by Rontgen on <span class=date_text>12-10-2004</span> <span class=time_text>05:58 AM</span>

In the 20-30+ the prefered would be anything that counts as fists, that is Fistwraps, Cestiis, and Cestus. Since you gain a higher fist skill with Roughhouse for when you're not the tank that is.

It depends on the situation. When tanking, i use a shield and Skullcrusher ( need a 1h upgrade urgently.. ), soloing or as dps i use dual cudgels, since all the t3 fist weapons are broken on pristine.

<DIV>2 X Ebon Quarter staffs as well. I am thinking about a shield but I have not had too big of a problem tanking non reds.</DIV>

<DIV>For those of you looking for where to obtain the Ebon quarterstaffs, they drop off of the Gulthex Elite guard in Nektulos Forest.  I believe he wanders on the road towards the beach area.  As for some choices of weapon... i believe Steel Mace was farely decent, better than ebon quarterstaff if i remember correctly (dont hold me to it, might be thinking of another weapon).  Once you reach lvl 29 or so, Ebon Eye Mace feels like a real good upgrade to ebon quarterstaves.  Once 34ish,  Feysteel Cestii look appealing (not high enough to use yet) :smileytongue: . All of these i mentioned are dual wield of course.  If anyone has better suggestions feel free to enlighten the rest of us. :smileywink:</DIV>

Minimum skill level devided by 5 gives you the lvl you can use items/skills at.

<DIV>You should try to keep all skills up when possible. Since we can dual wield this should not be a problem if you switch out.</DIV>

T4 crafted fist weapons are fixed ! It's possible now to make them pristine.
