Brawler GUIDE | Glyphs, Spells, Rotation, Gear

  • In addition to this also have look at this guide. It focusses more on what the brawler is meant to played, a Tank.

  • Brawler guide ? please...all you need to play brawler is having more than 4 neurons :dash:

    Idk about that, but whenever I que on my priest/mystic, I usually get horrible brawlers that cant play their class properly.
    They dont tank, they dont gather up mobs, they dont even dmg... nothing. So I really hope this guide gonna help those ppl.

  • Anyone who says brawler is easy to play well never played brawler, that class got huge potential depending how you play it, I'd say it's harder to master than reaper.


    Edit: Seems bernkastel agrees with what I said:
    "People think brawler is an easy class, in a way it is. The skill floor is extremely low, so anyone can do pretty well with it. The skill ceiling like /u/ehrgeix said appears to be really high and is one of if not the most difficult class to figure out mathematically." from here.

    DPS spreadsheet~


    Cleared data due to new patch, not playing much myself so data will rely on whatever people send me.
    (Full screenshot so I can see which instance and boss to avoid cheating + see consumables used. Last time got data from some boss when people claimed it was another, max hp gave it away)

    I play both and I can say that brawler is easier than lancer imho.
    1 Hit (even the ones u can't avoid) and u lose most of ur DPS-Potential aka "Hold the line"-Stacks. As brawler? Who gives a f***. Just keep on dpsing and outdps even your higher geared teammates.
    The class has great potential, yes and it's hell of fun to play, but I don't think it's remarkably harder than almost every other class. In addition to DD-classes you have to care more for attack patterns of bosses and stuff but everyone who has experince in tanking already got that (that's why most brawlers I see, I mean the good ones, are former lancers/warriors).
    And to be exact, all bernkastel said is, that brawler may be the "most difficult class to figure out mathematically".
    The skill ceiling is high for any class in tera, every single one. That's why most ppl suck, not matter what they play.


    decree
    Maybe u should read the guide completety.
    "Recommended weapon rolls" says nothing about rolling aggro on your weapon. But it's true that it would be inefficient if u do so.
    The guide is more in-depth as yours. Not that your's is bad, but it........in does not cover everything that should be explained imho. It's more for ppl who already have an idea about "how to play brawler" and those ppl don't really need a guide at all. :P

  • lancer is way harder than brawler , if you deny that , you're just fooling yourself while trying to defend and make a stupid class look cool and worth playing

  • Brawler is just... faceroll tanking at a basic level, but REALLY skilled Brawler are not so common (easy to play but hard to master).


    Lancer atm is clearly outplayed (and I say this maining a Lancer :P) but next patch will bring huge buffs, while also nerfing Brawler. So the gap between the two Classes will reduce.

    made my day



    I have no idea how to play brawler. My brawler is half idoneal and last time i checked glyphs was lvl ~35.
    I tanked +15 players with more ease than on my +14 tank warrior.
    Tried SCHM duo first boss and yea, wiped, coz lacked the dmg to kill priest... having no etchings, no glyphs, idoneal gloves and randomly rolled +12 schisma weap.

  • as of now , warrior tanking deals like 1/5 of brawlers' damage ...in the next patches warz will get a 12 power buff while on D stance , increased threat generator from Dstance , as for zerks , which means that you will have more chances of putting a few dps skills in your rotation even while tanking , instead of focusing on the few aggro skills .
    Don't forget that war tanking is overall way more challenging , and because of that it's way more satisfying..


    I mean , everyone can tank as a brawler , not everyone can tank as a warrior..If i could be a very good tank either with brawler or with warrior , I'd go for the second , knowing that I'm doing something few people are capable of..being just one of the many casuals around with OP classes doing most of the job for them..nothing to be proud of.

  • With the nerfs that are coming Where brawler get nerfed, its way, way more harder to Master the Growing Fury Brawler, passive block will no more exist. Sonits way harter to hold rage up all the time while GrF is active. At this time. The Rampage Brawler are even stronger.

    source please.


    The nerf you're talking about is only concerning pvp, and in no class change patches there's mention of such change in PVE.

  • ^that, no block during skills in pvp, pve stays unchanged.
