<p> Hi all,</p><p>    Im getting close to lvl 70 (69) and was wondering what the best non raid weapons for a 69/70 bruiser?</p><p>    also while im posting is there any 69ish non raid idem that just makes you happy in the pants out there?</p><p> Thanks</p>

<p>I have Fists of Bashing and Ancient Velium Claws. They are both from raidmobs i think, but tradeable so you may find them at the broker.</p><p>There is also a nice new legendary weapons now with 70+ rating i think, but it looks like a screw-wrench <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/0320a00cb4bb5629ab9fc2bc1fcc4e9e.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> . </p>

Well, there are a couple of nice weapons from Unrest :<a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/987360407" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Closing Time</a><a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1212837114" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bo of Flowing Blood</a>Used to be on the broker for about a plat a piece, things may change now that there aren't so many people regularly running unrest.As for gear, well it's probably easiest to go for the EoF Legendary kit <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-899965268" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wu's Fighting Gear</a>.I've been slacking in RoK (still only 79), but I've yet to find any decent leather armor (although apparently that's because the itemization Dev didn't think it was worth putting in specific brawler loot! which is nice...) Jewelery and belts a'plenty tho, so it's not really worth looking to upgrade those yet.

Heres my 2 cents, wait until you hit level 72, then buy mastercrafted weapons that have the 4.0 second delay. The only 2 i know of that a brawler can use and that have this are the Pickatchu's(not sure thats the right spelling, but they are claws) and the mace that had healer stats.

With the 4 second delay you:1) get the full affect of haste compared to weapons that swing really fast2) The higher the max damage on the weapon is(the higher the delay, usually the higher the top end) the more you get out of crits, if you wondering how that works just look us some other posts, theres plenty of info on auto attack and crits.3) the higher the base delay, the higher % you will crit, however, with some haste gear you can swing fast + get the higher proc %4)I'm not exactly sure what you why is asking, but i think this is what your talking about. If you time your CA's with your auto attacks pretty good, its a lot easier to squeeze your auto attack in every 3 seconds rather than every second.

<p>would this be worth getting away from Str line and going down wis at level 63?</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1027701997" target="_blank">http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1027701997</a></p><p>edit: nm the nice lil weapon stats window says nyet!</p>
