So with the new racials, is it still going to be the Orc that's suited best for the role as bruiser or how does it look ?

I would be happy to change my race for some better racials, but I'm just not sure which to chose yet ?

Anyone got some input on this matter ?

Thanks

Play whichever race you like the most for a bruiser. At cap, the racials don't really affect the class in any significant way.

I'm not positive so correct me if I am wrong, but Orcs are not a playable race.

Orcs are not playable. Ogre is the closest. I play an Ogre Bruiser with Gi and cowboy hat, he looks like a rtard SMILEY

Yea I did mean Ogre OFC SMILEY As for the fact that I should chose what I want cause the racials does not matter is a load of Bollocks imo.. Soe just tried to make some classes focus more on Tanking/dps/casting/healing.. It would be stupid not to take it in consideration.. So any input plz ?

I do not want to play a Fae tank, its just not right imo.

I think Ogres are kinda funny even if they are big and can get stuck in smaller places, i dont mind, i just ARRRGH and goes on.

I don't like the fact that my Barbarian has lost  a stun/knockdown CA. That is all.

I confirm that Orc is the best race for bruiser.  

 Ogre is close second.

That's not true at all anymore.  The new racial traits do make a very significant difference equal to at least the difference between 1 treasured item changing to 1 fabled item.

Well, I went my Barbarian for my Bruiser..

The bonuses for the 2 are very much alike, but I just think the Bruiser has a better look
