<DIV> <DIV>I'm trying to find the usefulness of each class in raid situations.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can you post:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.

<DIV> When in MT group I am able to use my Shrug Off skill on the Mt. At Adept 1 it gives me a 30 somthing % to use my avoidance for any melee attack aimed at the MT. I usually go into my Defensive Stance when in the MT group to make sure my avoidance is as high as it can be. Hurts my DPS, but keeping the MT alive become first priority. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Since revamp I have noticed that debuffs are HUGE (and I mean HUGE), so no matter what group your in, our Eye Gouge line is awesome. Lowers all the mobs melee attacks down around 20 somthing (essentially dropping the mobs melee skills 4+ levels). It has a 35 second duration and 30 second recast, so you can keep it on the Mob all the time. Testing last night on Drayek, when I would let it where off, the MT was taking considerably more damage. In fact, I stayed on Drayek the whole time just using that skill mostly, and I beleive that it was a major reason we were able to take Drayek down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Also, when in the DPS group, we have a + DPS% group buff that is pretty decent (don't have exact #, but beleive around 20-30% more DPS for whole group). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Bruisers also have 4 different stuns and one interupt (though attached to a taunt) now that work on epic mobs. Great for stopping them pesky spell caster mobs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Bruisers are also able to use all three types of damage weapons (crushing, peircing, and slashing all based off of one skill: Fist) and have very high sustained DPS. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Bruiser make very excellent off tanks as well for certain situations and are able to heal ourselves every 90 seconds in case we do accidently pull agro from the MT. I was comparing my stats to our MT last night. We were both self buffed and had a few minor buffs from the same group and I was at 1950 mitigation and 65.1% avoidance while he was at 2450 Mitigation and 51% avoidance (HP's and power were pretty even as well). Now, he did not have his buffs he throws up after he pulls mob and gets position that gives him tons more mitigation, but it goes to show that bruisers can get agro and hold there own when in their defensive stance.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Thats all I got that I can think up right now, hope it helps.</DIV>
