Bruisers Are DPS also

[Roddy]

Everyone is saying tank tank tank but the description for bruisers says they pummel their oppenets into submission. So shouldnt we be able to pummel? I think we could lean either way but i would like to do more damage.

I'd rather just have them as avoidance tanks personally.. I mean theres no point in them being some gimped hybrid.Slightly more DPS than mitigation tanks due to less margin for error.. sure that probably wouldn't unbalance things but I will never ever add a bruiser or monk to my group for DPS. I will always pick a scout or mage for that.In fact.. I'm kinda scared of picking brawler types as main tanks, it could work with me being a shammy but I still worry :p I need to get over it one day.. maybe I'll have to make a brawler alt and cure my fear <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />But its not just me.. ages ago I wanted a brawler to try tanking a bit while I was main healer instead of the guardian just to see how it worked.. and he was scared to do it. He thought he couldn't do it effectively.<p>Message Edited by Di0XiDe on <span class=date_text>12-17-2004</span> <span class=time_text>10:30 PM</span>

We don't really need more DPS from my own parses. And we're fine in the tanking scene.<p>Message Edited by Jezekiell on <span class=date_text>12-17-2004</span> <span class=time_text>11:24 PM</span>
