<DIV>Congratulations....but untill it goes live....it means nothing.  Hell, even after it does go live it means....Nothing.  SOE giveth and SOE Taketh away.  Its just a game.  Its the devolopers call what to do and what they meant to do.  We can argue all eternity about what they meant for the class.  I know what Ive been playing for 10 months.  Im personally not gonna die if my class is nerfed, Ill simpley bid farewell to the friends Ive made, pass out the contents of my treasure chests, Drink one last orange beer and uninstall.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Am I a pessimist?  Yeah....I am.  I've been revamped before.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And Numbers mean nothing to me....the only 2 numbers that count for me is what Im hitting the mob for and what theyre hitting me for.</DIV>

It's much harder for a Brawler to gear up in full Fabled then it is to gear up a Warrior or Crusader. There are a handful of the Bruisers I've talked to that are very well geared, but those are rather the exception then the case. Often due to having a guild on a server that isn't very highly populated in terms of raiding guilds capable of tackling contested spawns. And without contested you aren't going to be able to gear up as a Brawler in Fabled, you'll need Nagalik for the Wulcanized and you'll need the select few x2 that can drop the Ethereal. Otherwise you're left with a variety of chest armors scattered around the various instances, or low quality Fabled for certain other slots. So even if the subclasses is brought up to par Combat Art wise/mechanics, there is still a disadvantage towards brawlers in terms of quality fabled in par with what Plate tanks has access too. DoF may just end up "fixing" this problem, but it will most likely take a long time for Brawlers to gear up and meanwhile Warriors and Crusaders are tanking one mob after the other leaving the Brawlers standing on the sidelines with pom poms doing back flips.</span><div></div>

we get pom poms in DoF? I guess I now have a well-defined role in raids. Finnster <div></div>

Resists not all that hot... But still impresive I guess

[Zagnut1]

<P>Yea they basically cut all our resists in half...(our stance still adds 1800 or so PR) which may help differentiate the tanks and stances that add to resists,</P> <P> making a bruiser a viable option tanking poison based raids (hopefully!, but prolly not.)</P>

<P>WTB all those chests.</P> <P>Nice stats sir.</P>

[Pauleh]

<P>I would agree for the most part. This guy has no Vulcanized however. He has a lot of the pieces randomly scattered around as you say  :smileyhappy:</P> <P> </P> <P>I do Imaging after this revamp there will be less Monks/Bruisers to contend with your LA drops however  :smileysad:</P>
