I have a 70 bruiser and ive taken every path line, and honestly it really depends on how you play,  but i found that with my playstyle the best way for me to go was the stam and int line. your not sacraficing to much dps. and you get the parry and deflection. it doesnt look like it will help much. but i could not have been happier with my soloing ability mixed with dps. im a raiding bruiser so my gear isnt to bad, this char is an alt so he doesnt have "great raiding gear" as for dps i went stam wis and int (4 4 8 in all of them) it seemed to give me the best option for dps with the way i play my bruiser. anyway i hope this helped. let me know if i can be of further assistance.<div></div>

Complex language choices... still parsing.

<P>I have a 70 Pally and switched to a bruiser due to brutally long solo gaming, which is mostly how I play.   Pally is in a high level guild now, and now he is just called on to tank for groups, etc.  Boring and extremely stressful when people depend upon you!!   He does an excellent job, yet in the end thats not what I rolled him for.  Although, I still love my Pally</P> <P>Using him as a comparison, I have now a soon to be 49 Bruiser, and I am simply loving him.  He fit perfectly with how I played.  Repeat after me:  Bruisers kicks [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]!!!  Even when I am still wearing the Blood Drenched Gi,  he owns soloing.</P> <P>Of course now, My Pally treats in well when it comes to checking the mail, but it is still hard to find masters at my level on the broker.  (Basically, I am a somewhat twinked alt.)  But still, there burst damage is incredible.  And did I mention Feign death?   </P> <P>Let me ramble on this a little more, since I just got back from a bar.   I also have a 29 Swashy to compare to, as well.   I tried him before the bruiser to see if it matched my play style.  While the sneak and the tracking and dps was nice,  he simply got owned when soloing names etc.  He was twinked too.  Poor guy, I left him stranded at Stormhold entrance.</P> <P>Now on to advice:  Set your hotkeys up right.   I use ProfitUI and its working super.  Read all your combat arts and set them up in order.  For instance, one combat art does more damage when mob is knocked down.  Blah Blah.  Make sure to have Feign Death easily clickable, just in case.  You have burst damage, meaning that you can click on about seven combat arts at once before they grey out.  Also, don't forget about herioc opportunities, they come in handy in the end.</P> <P>As far as AA, I chose to go Int line.  Most of the really nasty fights I get into get me below 30 percent healt before I am forced to use our self mend.  The + to crit strikes, parry, and deflection are nice too.</P> <P>If you don't have the Bloodline Chonicles, get it for 5.99 $ in you login area,  the Devastion Fist will work up with level.  Believe me, insta killing a mob while in a group attack is will save your [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].   And can be used this for fun.   Also, while you down there,  might as well get the Blood Drenched Gi for crafting and towning, since you are 50.</P> <P>Well, probally stuff you already knew.   I guess to answer your question:  Bruisers kick [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]   Oh did I already say that?   I am having an extremely good time with mine. </P> <P>After leveling a pally to 70, and a swashy to 29,  I finally found my class. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Hope this helped.  </P> <P> </P> <P>Take care.</P>
