Brawler AA question

[Ripchi]

<DIV>I've heard that with the release of EoF it's no longer best to go unarmed with the strength line.  This true?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is my first fighter toon, so I'm not that familiar with them.  I solo and group mostly...not much raiding, and try to remain flexible to be a tank or DPS.  Right now I'm a monk, but will betray to bruiser as soon as they introduce Betrayal for the Fae.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've looked over the forums for an answer, but with the changes in EoF I didn't want to go with old info as it may now be outdated.  I'm hoping for some advice from all you experienced bruisers out there.  With the changes made in EoF, what would you suggest the ideal brawler AA setup would be, and why?</DIV>

It has never been "best." It's been passably good, especially on the cheap. I suspect it'll probably stay that way for some time, especially with the adornments for weapons still being so frickin pricy.<div></div>

I recently gave up the STR line in favor of the WIS line because I'm having a heck of a time trying to keep encounter and AE aggro.  I tank a lot, so I think this makes sense for me.  If you don't typically fill the tank role, then STR would still be a good way to go until you get some great weapons.  I also went down the STA line to increase HPs and get the proc damage from the 3rd ability.  So, right now, I have:4/4/8 in STA4/4/8 in WIS5 in self-heal1 in first combat artI'm not sure what I will do with my future points.  I don't know if I'll get more out of the INT line or putting them directly into damage-dealing combat arts.Thoral, 67 Bruiser, Mistmoore<div></div>
