Brawler Archive

For the high-end content, armor is very nice.

I regularly duo with a wookie tka/commando. If he picks up aggro against a krayt, janta, etc., he drops real fast where I can tank for several minutes. Against low/mid level stuff it's very possible to tank well without armor, but it's hard later on.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from playing a wookie brawler by any stretch, but I do think that it can be a significant disadvantage, at least in certain contexts. I would imagine that for actual xp'ing it should be quite an advantage. The high HAM bars should allow you to greatly reduce downtime.

I would say you definitely want master brawler. Warcry2/Intimidate2 are lifesavers.
