Where've I been?

[Colossaltitan]

<div>Sorry for the lack of updates all.  As some of you know I joined Second Dawn who already have four Brawlers, leaving me to play my Necromancer <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. This has left me with less time to browse the forums, more time raiding, more time farming, more time questing(& since my PC sucks, I can generally only do one at a time. Lol)Also starting a job, yes....entering the real world.../scared.So the overwhelming requests to 'update update update my posts' have got to come to an end.  If someone wants a new thread I'll PM someone to take mine down off stickies, and I can copy the info I have and give it to whoever w/ the links etc included.Sorry I can't keep up on the posts guys.  Goodluck. /salute the Bruiser community. (oh yah, someone tell those dirty monks for me :p)peace out- phayax</div>

like phay or hate...What would the personality of a bruiser be? big ego? cocky? sometimes an @hole? While not all would imagine thier bruiser this way it still is pretty acceptable profile of a bruiser.<div></div>

<div></div>BTW, I think the impact Phay has had on the Bruiser community (however you want to view it) is obvious enough just by this thread alone. So, get off his nuts.

lol how many people can start a 2 page thread just stating they won't be posting as much? Negative impact or positive that is an opinion. the "copy / paste" info gaige talked about may of been true but if that info helped someone even if a rude remark was attached... did it not still help someone?<div></div>

[Pnaxx]

<div></div>If one goes back to look at posts from folks wondering to go Monk or Bruiser...as I did ad nauseum...Phay was usually very nice and told people that he loved both and you can't go wrong. TBH, he was one of the reasons I picked Bruiser because of the good nature. So thats why I laugh at Gaige a bit, he just sounds a bit overly sore fer some reason. But we all still love the Gaige.:smileytongue:

[Colossaltitan]

<div>wow...just wow... this is what has been going on while i've been at work? lol</div>

Yea well phay just shows we miss you really , well most of us lol
