Bruisers...

[trigger3]

Hi, I'm a 16 Brawler hoping to soon be a Bruiser. I just wanna get some stuff straight?Bruisers are more damage dealers than monks right? I'm looking for something that is a good soloer and grouper...And also, you can make bruisers in Qeyno's right? Or is it just monks in Qeynos?Thanks anybody who answers!

Bruisers are a freeport only class, and if I could go back I would do a monk now.Bruisers are nothing more then a evil monk, I was thinking a bruiser would be more a thug.But a ogre jumping around doing martial arts, just looks so wrong IMHO.And after seeing our level 40 fun spell, I might just start a monk.

<DIV>Wow. Reroll because of a fun spell? I could understand if maybe it's because Monks get 2 kicks at level 25 and we get none... but a fun spell?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bruisers are more about damage, Monks are more about defensive. I find that I could be a better DPS as a Bruiser, and yet still Tank very well when I focus on it. My Monk in Beta was hard pressed to do as much straight up damage as my Bruiser. I also got very sick of the theme and feel of Qeynos.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not that the "gut his own mother for a copper" and "you are scum, you are beneath scum, you are sub-scum" attitudes of Freeport are much better... but I can ignore it much easier, and the voices are much less annoying than "You talk to strangers?"...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>*shudder*</DIV>

Which if you have seen looks like the bruiser is covered in [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot].Am I going to reroll nope I doubt it very much, I am level 22. That might not seem far for some, but thats a months work for me.

<DIV>Bruisers do it all well</DIV>

Bruisers seem to be more of the Judo / Muay Thai school. I haven't really run into many monks, but I'd consider them more like Thai Chi or Kung Fu. So I wouldn't really consider Bruisers to be thugs, just a more direct style of fighting.

<DIV>Is the bruiser wood skin a bought spell like  tiger form for monks? i know that monks get stone skin or somethin at 40 and u buy the tiger form  in elddar grove, seems weird that they would make bruisers look like trees... if thats the case, dont buy the fun spell ^ ^<BR></DIV> <DIV>I must admit, from lvls 20-25 i was thinkin of rerollin to a monk but im glad i stuck it out, lvl25+ (since we get break through back) and we get alot of nice dmg/buff spells also.</DIV>
