If I remember correctly the reason why brigs was given their debuffs in LU13 was due to no guild wanted them and no one wanted to play them. But back then they were labled as a "DPS" class, yet people played other classes for dps.....wonder why?????

Also THE ONLY WAY you would ever beat out a necro/conj/[expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]/ would be if they were afk or just hit pet attack. Yeah our brigs parse about 800-1400 depending on groups and mobs but they still 6 to 9th down on the top 10.

Like I said you are only brought along the raid for your debuffs and thats it.

Ask your guild leader if he would bring you to DT for tarinax if you didnt have the debuffs......I bet the answer would be no.

AR is broke atm not due to what is is but because of the mechanics are broke atm. My berserker procs are messed up and I go berserk like once an hour.

But for all the brigs that say awwwwwwwwwww I cant DPS no more because I cant hax the game and avoid every AOE in the game. For those brigs.... YOUR NOT DPS get over it your only there to debuff and bring your 1k dps along with it.

The true 1700+ dps classes will take care of that.

Rest of you understand your main job is to debuff not DPS

So like I said brigs your sole job and only reason any guild wants you is your debuffs.

Also I am a tank that depends on his hate from beatin on the mob compared to guardians where they get hate from getting hit. So yeah I have to do dps to be able to hold agro

L8er Tuppo

70Bersker of Nagafen

Havoc

P.S. Okay how hard would it be to see okay AOE called yeap AR up good I can stay in, or even ohhh crap run. With this message you have more of a possibilty for it to be up if you wait to spam your CA's like 20 secs before AOE goes off compared to a buf that you cast once every 5 min

Just a thought

Funny thing is, thus far I've been able to out tank, out dps and out maintain agro the zerkers I've seen. In fact I'm preferred as tank over zerkers in guild.

I don't care about the AR stuff except the hate being removed but that won't effect much except maybe a warlock or two.

I would like to have something in instead of proposed AR. It isn't right to have a skill in the knowledge book that will never be used. How about a buff that increases all resists by 500 to 800 points? That would be both useful to we tanking Brigs and to the raiding ones who can't avoid aoe's now.

Or here's some ideas for ya, how about a ranged attack that I don't see "Immune" when I use it on an Epic. Ooh ooh or an AOE that could actually do some damage. Perma invis like eq1 would be nice too, since invis in this game it is pretty much pointless currently. Maybe even dare I say group utility of some sort like (Thuggish Envy "ironic don't you think" all group members try to achieve the brigands greatness by increasing their DPS 50% but being the competitor the brigand steps theirs up too) that'd be kewl.
