I was just about to start a topic with the name

"Bruiser Identity Crisis !"

But then i saw this :p It hits me to, What role are we supposed to be playing ?When i started my bruiser i saw myself as an equivalent tank to guardian and all other classes but just in a different way.

Instead of tauntingwe have to keep agro by doing damage, Instead of having heavy armour we would elegantly avoid all hits,and on a bad luck streak we would die a terrible death ...

Now looking at the AA's i have the impression that i'm some sort of scout class ment to do damage.Saddest thing is that Monks will be double advantaged on this as well !!

Haste kicks [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] and with just a few low haste items i can't start dreaming of having any.

Wich there would at least be one main obvious tank line in the AA settings but they all seem te be focussing on Damage.

Why oh why did guardians bug us in beta when we had the mitigation line.

Anyway i hope or good friend

Moorguard !

Will respond to this.

Having boosted DPS is nice, but i rather offer the group/raid a good tank that does a bit more damage then other tanks.

Hence me going for 8 ranks in agi for Defense and 8 ranks in Parry and Crits from INT because that's the only thing that's getting close to what i need. What i would realy need is a permanent Mitigation boost, like Guardians gaining avoidance trough their AA ... What is wrong with us getting mitigation then?
