bruisers

<DIV><FONT color=#ffffff>My Bruiser is only 16, but I've read all I can on these boards about them, and from what I've read, they tank better than any other subclass out there, besides doing massive damage.  Another recent thread a 50 bruiser recorded over 5000 ac with one of their abilities, add that to their damage avoidance, which they rarely get it, and you've got an incredible tank.  So I don't know why all you Bruisers are complaining about your "light" armor problems.  Just my opinion.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The bruising spirit line is great for the rare time you KNOW you're going to get hit. It just takes some planning and a good druid.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I used it at 27 to tank the zek boat boss recently. I think it helped alot for the first part of the fight.</DIV>

<DIV>The thing about bruising spirit is you can chain it.  It will refreash before it wears off, so If you are paying attention you can keep it up for an entire fight no matter how long it is.  You just have to recast it before it wears off, because after it wears off it resets the reuse timer on it.  Not sure this is a bug in its current form, if so they will change it eventually, if not, well little tip for you.  Another art like this I use all the time is staggering stance (+ac +Agi for 3min) and the upgrade overtaking blows.  If you recast it before it wears off you can keep it up all the time, but if you forget or miss it an it wears before you recast then you have to wait the 30s recast.</DIV>
