Viability of Brawler

[Satanist 2]

Dear Fellow Gamers, want to check if anyone can give any idea as to how Brawlers are doing in the current game meta when it comes to UP and DG?

[TadsK 251]

They are doing good on both. But it really shines on PvP

[Satanist 2]

Oh ok. Nice to know.

 

Can brawlers tank?

 

And does it do well when duo with a Shaman?

[you2kyo 176]

It does. It's probably better with a PRS, tough. You can pretty much tank any content with vl and good items as a brawler

Thanks for the tip you2kyo!

Any idea why there are so little brawlers I see around in the game?

[you2kyo 176]

People just rather play with more comfortable classes for leveling such as MGS, SS and such. Also, since they were release way later on, there are less items available on the market for the class (now i'm just guessing)

Hey there. 

 

I think it's because Brawler need way more attention to play then other classes. PvE is not as good as others. PvP is really good, but services don't like to level up brawlers.

Issue of BS in Pve is: Game has Ks class

I only played BS in 14x (Now switch to Ks),  you need to gear up her enough to tank but Ks can tank with even crap stuffs. Further more ks don't need to swap skills a lot to play

And services level up a lot of acc at the same time, so they prefer easy to play classes

 

Bs tanking from 15x (with +24 items) is impressive but at lower lvl it's a little hard to play

How Bs perform in 160+ (tanking mobs in EB, SL, SS, LC, SK...) compared to Ks with same items (aged 144 armor, shield, 140 gauntlet, boot, bracelet, etc..) bro?

I didn't have chance to play with 16x BS but I pt in EB and SK with 15x BS, and I think ks is better tank than BS

But it's normal because ks can swap to 1 hand sword + shield and still cast skill normally while BS is a 2-hand character (2 1-hand fist is like 2-hand weapon)

 

And this series is good for reference (not mine, just found it on youtube)

thanks man! I can see he still struggle a bit tanking mobs in EB even though with almost maxed items.
