Novice marksman get an area attack, why not brawler?
Nothing special, just somethinglike point blank area that applys using your current weapon.
Almost master now, so not much help to me. But at times going up the trees it would have been useful when getting swarmed. After all brawlers tend to get swarmed more than ranged.

In my experience, its also harder to level Marksman than Brawler though.

hmm, odd I mastered marksman a lot quicker than I have brawler.
May just be play style. But it would be nice just to have some are attack at novice (especially when swarmed by keetles)
... can't sleep the bugs will get me....

Marksman took me 1 buff to master with point blank area 1 and the 5k quenker missions. But Ranged professions are a hell of a lot harder to master than melee professions so I guess it kind of balances out that brawlers don't get area attacks until level 4 of a tree.

quite possibly they have to wait, like many other professions for those little additions...because of the ongoing development of the Combat Upgrade

Point blank does so little damage though. are you using beserk? using berserk, I recently mastered brawler on a toon that had nothing in brawler in about 2 buff sessions. Using beserk for each tree. You can write a macro to have it loop to make it easier.

Well actually ground it out unbuffed (well except some pixie... okay lots of pixie) over a week of casual play.
Unarmed was the hard part, no attack that targeted a single stat pool. All the rest were cake walks.
Just grouped with a MSE Droid for the group xp bonus (it's all based on the average level of the group), and layed waste to a static spawn of rock and mound mites from the second box up. (scout helps, harvested so they would spawn faster, plus wanted that terrain negotiation)

Point Blank Area 1is a joke. The odds of hitting anything are low, even the critter you're aimed at. For a truly effective AoE in the Ranged Tree's you have to wait til the Advanced professions.
I just picked up brawler for the first time ever, and made Novice TKA in two buffs and I wasn't very efficient about it either...Novice Rifleman took me considerably longer, mostly because of the speed of a Laser Rifle and the damage range on it, and the inaccuracy when the MOB's came screaming in at me...
