<P>Quoted from the "Brigand Guide" that is stickied at the top:</P> <DIV><U>Brigands vrs other scouts</U></DIV> <DIV>vrs Swashies.  We share a lot of the same skills though their CA's are on quicker timers and they have two AoE's.  Check their board for details.  Are we better than them.... No, its all about players ability to play the class</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>vrs Rangers and Assassins.  They are T1 and therefore have a higher DPS.  As a sacrifice, they have less utility (fewer debuffs).  Are we better than them...... No, its all about the players ability.  Note.  Some Brigands can and do outperform some rangers and assassins but this is due to a) equipment and b) skill.  put two average players together, one playing the assassin and the other a brigand, and the Tier difference is correct.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Vrs Bards.  (Quoted From Crimson Dragon's post found later in this thread)  "bards have a completely different feel to them, and someone new to the game wouldn't necessarily know that. they're not all that great by themselves, but in a group, they are pretty powerful. they won't often be infringing upon the dps of the "top-tier" dps classes, but to say that bards don't do damage is a bad mistake. that said, bards focus more on buffing their group and debuffing encounters than they do simply on damage."</DIV>

yay go me! i was quoted....anyway, assassins do a lot of sneaking, high damage attacks.brigands do a lot of debuffing with moderate damage. very crippling debuffs and good, but not overwhelming damage.swashbucklers are somewhere in between. they have almost as many debuffs, but ours are more crippling, while they do more damage.<div></div>
