So we are going to lose our only ae taunt and faster heal with Dof?

[Parker01]

<DIV>I have been playing this game since day one (I had to take a new forum id when I did an account transfer to do the All Station Access).  I am happy with my Bruiser the way he is.  Two things concern me, however:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1-  We are losing Velan's taunt.  Before I had this ae taunt, I had a really hard time holding aggro when I was the mt, against multiple opponents.  There were lots of deaths before this.  Is Velan's taunt going away with the release of Dof?  Can someone from beta talk about any ae taunts that are still in the Bruiser line up?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2-  Is our level 40 fast heal really going away also?</DIV>

<P>1. No more fast taunt, but they did remove the fear component of our ae taunts and put fear in it's own line. </P> <P>2. yep, gone. we still have our heal but on it's normal timer and it also costs power now..</P>

I am so not looking forward to the rebalancing - my bruiser is right where I want him.

       I am playing my bruiser in DoF beta now and am enjoying the combat changes very much....     -the 60 sec heal loss took a little getting used to but now I don't even really notice anymore     -we can still solo like a champ...I feel like a killing machine with our AE attacks and offenseive stance procs vs solo groups     -the class is still very fun to play, I was really enjoying going bare-fisted and pummeling things with my bare hands (exept now unarmed is bugged and      your attack rating while unarmed is about half what it is w/ weapons)     -I feel like we still got the goods...solid dps, imrpoved tanking, nice utility abilites, and feign death is a lifesaver (literally)              -Lummox <div></div>

<DIV>Amartell, how much better are you tanking in beta?  Can you post any data (your level, mob's level, damage taken, mobs that you tank much better, % of health after the fight compared to how it is in live)?  Thanks.</DIV>
