<DIV>im a horrible puller compared to others, and its lead to an interesting tactic in my regular group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>we have a 3 man band 44 brusier 44 SK 45 fury</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>the shadow knight pulls and tanks, i proceed with normal attacks. till about 80%. then i use specials. by then we know if this mob is going to squash our sk. if so i can take agro ina heartbeat. and tank once he gets beaten to heck and back. then i tank while he heals himself btw back up with the help of our healer. dd a FD and you get the idea.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>we can take 47^^^ like this all day very quick. and yes im tanking things 3 levels higher then myself with my healer help. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>learn to stance dance along with useing ac buffs, i see so many bruisers staying in offencive, when its not always the best chioce. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>as a bruiser heres what this has taught me about our class</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"we are Safe DPS!" "we are DPS's that can take a beating."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"we are a companion to a main tank to guard him and everyone else in the group. if adds come i take them off and scare the heck out of them. or mez them to the side.etc.... "</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>speaking of mez ive become very proficent with it, suggest everyone else do so also. i shock people when i mez adds off the caster whos freaking out. without even blinking an eye. then i just tell them to root it politely. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>anyways be safe all and remember we are the policemen of EQ2. not the SEALS <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> figure that out and youll have a blast, as a bruiser.</DIV>

Bruisers also make great main tanks now.  Something else to consider.  Your sk friend can give you his mitiagion making you an even better MT as well as having him go into his offensive stance and increasing his dps.It's fun to swap roles and see what different stratagies you can come up with to kill mobs.<div></div>

<DIV>Yes, let the SK buff you with his armament and avoidance buff and watch how easy tanking is.  You could probably even do it in offensive stance</DIV>
