Bruiser attack skill, how do you raise it?

[grish]

So, I was at our raid last night when I inspected a fellow level 70 bruiser. I am wearing much better gear, more aa, better weapons and more masters and just all around better kit.I was inspecting him and checking his stats vs mine, and I had him beat across the board except on attack. I only was sitting at 732 attack and his was nearly double that at 1400.What could I be missing, or what possibly could he be doing to have such a huge gain on me.<div></div>

Well most brawlers would sit at 1400 typically, so you either looked at the wrong stat, had only one dual wield equipped by mistake or use a one hand which only gives u slightly more than half. 1400 is where most brawlers in defensive mode generally sit, so if you have better gear then I would say you made a mistake somewhere along those lines. The only other thing I can think of is as attack is determined by Str then you could be wearing a severe lack of str stats which I would have thought is nigh-impossible.

Yeah, now that you mention it that is quite possible I only was using 1 weapon. I was transmuting/crafting earlier so I had taken some gear off.  Will check when I get home, thanks.<div></div>

<DIV>Yea, i deffinatly agree with eyes007 you must have had one dw equipped, i very much doubt any lvl 70 bruiser could have such a low attack rating espicially since your better geared then this other guy.</DIV>
