Here is one suggestion, as found on the eq2players forums..

http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=416966

I would like to ask a/some questions. What do you do the most with your bruiser? Solo, group, or a split of the two. If you are soloing 80% or better of your journeys then I would suggest using the intel 4,4,8, & 7 and strgth or wisdom which ever you want 4,4,8,8,& 1. Chi in the strgth line is nice burst but reuse timer is just a tad to long to be of any use for consistant dps, but again it is nice given the correct situation. Wisdom will help you solo or group so it is kinda universal. If grouping alot is your thing then the agility line all the way down would be nice for the alturism that gives another group member a chance to fd if the situation allows it.

I would also advise using the search bar and type in aa placement, solo aa, bruiser aa advice, or aa advise and just read up on the many posts similar to your thread here. There are many post some good info and others bad but for the most part are very helpful.

Thanks



Then there is this post

I recently got the AA mirror and have respected for two AA set ups.

1 for grouping and 1 for soloing.

For soloing I got the improved (5/5) heal, FD, fierce punch and stamp, haymaker all maxed, and I am currently working on the maxing out the int line probably 4-4-8-8-2.

For grouping I maxed both tuants, then went to work on the agi line 4-4-8-8-2, and then the went down the int line again .

I dont know if I am all that impressed with the agi lines final ability, the FD thing, If put it on the healer while tanking and I die the buff disappears and he will not FD.

Any comments or suggestions.




Well I will say that altursim is a huge benefit for hard core content. It will fd the targeted player and they should only die if an ae hits them. Since bruisers cannot fd a group like monks this really helps to a degree when grouping with others. This would be a great choice for a monk too incase group fd fails and is a nice plan B to save the healer. On most raids I am putting it on the group one healer and it works seven times out of ten. As a matter of fact I get tells from this person every raid to put alturism on them hehe.

Most solo build in brawler tree are 4,4,8. & 5 agil, 4,4,8,8, & 1 wis, with 4,4,8,&6 intel. This is if you can get 70 points. If not I would say most use the 4,4,8,8,&1 wis and 4,4,8,& 8 intel. This will work for both group and solo. On a personal note I do not feel that crane twirl is that huge of a benefit but is better than nothing. Crane flock is very nice ability to have and if you can get some high haste values then it is even better.

Now as for the bruiser tree all the knockouts are good to have including drag solo or group wise. Sacrifice is a good line if you are interceding the mt alot and can really make you shine in times of need, but again in everyday norrath this usually doesn't play a big roll and isn't helpful in solo. I can't remember the name of the taunts line but it can be of great value for grouping simply for what it applies. Last I would say getting retribution of stone will be good for the soloer but it is so inconsistant that it cannot be relied upon.



There are several threads there that are a fount of information...

On Eq2flames.com

Guessing nobody has replied since this is in multiple locations, but here goes:

Tank: AGI 46482, INT 4488, WIS 4458 (think thats 70)

DPS: AGI 48462, INT 448, WIS 44862 (I think crane flock is the third in WIS tree, not sure, but max that out)

Since I have an AA mirror, those are the only two specs I run.

For solo, run the Tank setup with DPS gear if you need to kill things faster.


Hope that helps a bit

No, no, no. You mistyped that. If your bruiser should ever bettray you would have to delete it! Yes that sounds much better. Really who would want to castrate themselves and where robes chanting all day long? Monks, I swear.
