There are no fire staff mages in wars right now.
that is why they needed this patch so they can participate in wars

What do you mean “unkillable with constant grit”? Again… grit is only anti stagger… you can still be stunned and you take full damage… this is the problem… other classes don’t understand bruisers but are calling for grit to be taken away.
Most classes do more damage than bruisers already even though they are aoe cleave damage… it doesn’t need a nerf.

No. We want to stand on our own and be able to be as threatening as other dps. We dont want to be a noodle support class.
Just as mage players want to do 3x damage of everyone else from range and aoe etc., the Melee dps fantasy we want to play isnt no damage cc bot. Hence why we dont play void gauntlet. We want to smash and see big numbers and kill chain just like you do in your role.
We dont want to play “Not so great axe” and “small gavel” weapon builds. The weps being oversized get at the fantasy. We want to clobber people with them.

I agree! But trashcanning bruisers was not the way to do it. Glad they are reworking fire mage!! It needed it
Fs/IG Mages were top damage in invasions… so I know they can… it’s just not kill damage against players… it is big number on scoreboard but no killls. Change to mutators will help see them th rive there now like in invasions.
For pvp they need some kind of cc skill and a high damage kill skill… not sure if they are getting that.
300 str perk will now be the 300 con perk. But I feel like melee players have learned to play with it they won’t know what to do without it so they will go 300 con 200 str. And str does crazy dmg. Most people run melee resistance due to it being the most common damage in the game. Melee also had the best utility in the game. But if your are running 300 str, more people will be using bb since it’s busted and going untouched.
I agree bb is op and didn’t get nerfed at all… so it may take over.

It will you will see. Prepare for net shot spam and losing all you hp in a split second after being stunned. Or these bb flamethrower spammers. You’ll see a a lot of fs flamethrower spammers with bb. Watch.
This post explain why bruiserneed to be nerf
These comp need to change to improve diversity
Everyone running the same comp
Boring !

You need bruises as long as we have a point cap mechanic. If we don’t then it will be all mages, healers, bow and musket
Theres no shot u believe bruisers are used anywhere but war? No one runs bruiser in opr, its just dex and kill squad. In wars, at a competitive level, kill squads are what make the biggest difference, not bruisers. No one doing PvE efficiently runs bruiser. You just sound salty that bruiser has been a class that survived the games pvp changes better than most of the other classes.

bruh you got me there i want this melee fantasy as well. i also want happiness for other classes. so hard to choose.
def seem like the guy who runs Warhammer firestaff and is mad that the two weapons dont work together LMAO
Bruisers work in opr in premade 5 mans. Otherwise, no. This is the problem… people think bruisers are op when they die to them… not seeing the healer and vg backing them up making it viable.

The change is needed, people will just need to adapt tbh… Melee grit is still there. You just have to sacrifice some damage for it. 300 CON / 200 STR

Why don’t bruisers just go 300 con and keep their beloved grit. Not sure why they want to be top damage, top cc, 1 shot combo killing machines when they’ve out performed every other melee build for the game’s entire existence.
News flash, y’all aren’t the chosen ones. You have had everything you could ever want for over a year now you have to adjust like the rest of us.

Lmao I just said that
i think because war is the only place we can play as bruisers besides opr (only if u have healer)

They will silly… I explained that.
Do you really want 300 con heavy armor bruises with gritted thwarting? Sound familiar? That is the November 2021 meta everyone hated.
The other new build will be medium 300 str gritted heavy attacking greatsword. I contend nobody wants to see that, except greatsword users
5 man’s are a problem of there own no matter who it consists of. And melee will always struggle against range cause they don’t use any range unless you swap to throwing hatchet or bb. However, melee has the best cap closers and cc in the game. Up close melees impossible to beat for range players. Especially running heavier armors. What range player likes shooting heavy armor users… none
